High amounts of vitamin b - my two favorite Vitamin B complexes are Dr. Axe's Vitamin B complex & the one I use now is Super B by Young Living (it's AMAZING!!)
Heartburn remedies:
The only thing that has ever worked for me for heartburn is: Alkalime supplement by Young Living
Pregnancy tea:
Mama's Red Raspberry brew - My favorite pregnancy blend!!
Mama's Milk tea - Great for lactation and milk production!
Earthley also makes a great pregnancy tea
Pregnancy workout dvd:

Vitamins and supplements:
Take a good prenatal - I use Master Formula + Super B as my prenatal vitamin (both from Young Living). You can read about this combo here.
Dr. Axe also has a great prenatal I recommend
I also take a good probiotic. I switch between Young Living's Life9 and some of Dr. Axe's probiotics. It's a good idea to switch up your probiotic from time to time to get different strains. Dr. Axe has a bunch of good ones but I recommend his Women's once a day as well as his SBO probiotic.
You will also want a good omega/fish oil supplement for pregnancy. No surprise here but I recommend one of Dr. Axe's Omega's but all four are currently sold out. The one I take now is Young Living's OmegaGize. A good omega supplement is crucial during pregnancy, but a GOOD one from a good source is going to be expensive. Just keep that in mind. I usually take mine 3-4 times a week instead of every day just to lesson that expense a bit.
I also take Magnesium and iron - see my favorites below
Other supplements I LOVE:
TriLight Health has an entire line of pregnancy herbal blends that are affordable and rock! Their ingredients are outstanding. I recommend getting their Pregnancy essentials kit for everything you need.
Earthley is my next favorite store to recommend. It's owned by a mom who has a passion for providing home remedies at an affordable price. Here are a few of my favorites from Earthley:
Pregnancy tea -a Premade blend for pregnancy
Fertili Boost herbal extract - Want help getting pregnant? This tincture might help.
Post Partum balance - I am SO getting this tincture for this time around - helps balance things out after pregnancy
Mama's tummy relief - I wish I had seen this during my first-trimester sickness
Nourish her naturally - Another possible option for a ...
