Vitamins
Like many on Tiktok who are discovering Magnesium’s impressive benefits, Sofia swears by Magnesium Glycerate to aid her sleep. She also takes the New Chapter, Prenatal Multivitamins and uses the Ancient Minerals Magnesium Lotion.
Sofia says that she puts the lotion on the soles of her feet before putting socks on, adding, “I’ve convinced myself it helps me sleep”.
Explaining that she saw acupuncturist Ross J. Barr while in London, Sofia also recommends Calm Patches, which are designed to promote relaxation and relieve tension and brain fog.
Remember, always consult your doctor before taking any supplements during pregnancy.
Pregnancy Pillow
Sofia, like many other expectant mums, also raves about the comforts of a pregnancy pillow which she describes as her “new best friend.”
Sofia recommends the bbhugme pregnancy pillow, which we’ve listed below (plus a few more budget-friendly options).

Beauty Picks
Next on Sofia’s list of maternity essentials are a number of beauty buys including hand sanitizer, lip balm and blotting paper.
To avoid getting sick during pregnancy, Sofia regularly uses a hydrating hand sanitiser. Although the exact one she uses – Noshinku’s Spice – isn’t available in Australia, this revitalising glow mist by Touchland comes in the same handy bottle shape.
Sofia also mentions that Summer Friday’s Lip Butter Balm in Birthday Cake is her go-to everyday shade and that pregnancy has seen her skin get noticeably oiler than usual – which is why she keeps blotting papers from Tatcha on hand.
Last but not least, Sofia also recommends the LYMA Red LED Laster Starter Kit, which is definitely an investment, but is a tool that has “transformed” her skin within a week.
