If swollen feet and pregnancy breakouts are getting you down, a pregnancy subscription service may be just what the doctor ordered (wouldn’t it be great if they wrote prescriptions for this kind of thing?)
Pregnancy boxes can be the perfect pick me up for yourself and also make fantastic gifts for a mom-to-be. Monthly subscription boxes are available for each stage of pregnancy and postpartum and are filled with essentials and recommended products you’ve been dying to try, and some you may have never heard of.
Check out some top picks for boxes packed with everything from clothing, accessories and self-care items to diapers and wipes and prepare to hit “subscribe”!

4. Mama Bird Box
Mama Bird Boxes were created by two sisters who wanted to establish a product that would feel like another “sister” in the journey of pregnancy and motherhood. Each Mama Bird Box comes with 4-6 products to pamper pregnant and new moms, like nail polish, skincare products like scrubs, sunscreens, creams and oils, as well as snacks, cozy socks, headbands, cute home décor items and more.
Mama Bird Boxes are specific to a month instead of a trimester so you're getting products that are more relevant to the time of year rather than the stage of your pregnancy. This is also handy if you're not entirely sure of someone's due date if you're giving it as a gift. You can check them out here.
Price: A monthly box can be ordered for $34.95 per month, or 3 months can be ordered for $99.95.
Shipping: US shipping is $5.95
Ships to Canada: Yes. Shipping is $15 and they ship through USPS (which is good). All fees should be covered but they say they will cover anything should any issue arise.
Gift Giving Available: Yep.
Can you buy one box only? Yes.
Best if: You're looking for something that leans more toward pampering vs. cheeky t-shirts.
5. Rumbly
Rumbly makes the perfect pregnancy prezzie, whether you’re purchasing for yourself or someone else who’s expecting. Choose the perfect box based on the month of pregnancy, or one of 6 themes like “The Reset Box”, “The Modern Labor and Delivery Box” and “The Just Found Out Box”.

7. Bird Style Box
If only I had known about Bird Style Box during my pregnancies (shakes fist at the sky). One of the most frustrating experiences during pregnancy for me was trying to find maternity clothes that were cute, wouldn’t break the bank, and that I could try on without getting too sweaty or falling over in the changing room.
A similar concept to other clothing rental subscriptions but a slightly lower price point - a $50 flat fee per month. Simply add some cute looks to your "closet" and sit back and relax while they select a few items you've chosen to send your way. Items can be worn for however long you'd like, or quickly returned so another item can be sent your way. Love it? Buy it at a discount and keep it forever. Perfect for your pregnant bodies or bodies changing after pregnancy. Our full review of it can be found here or you can check them out here.
Price: $50 per month with unlimited exchanges
Shipping: Shipping and returns are free in the US.
Ships to Canada: No.
Gift Giving Available: Yep.
Can you buy one box only? Sort of. Your first box is free but you need to cancel the subscription if you don't like it.
Best if: You want a fresh wardrobe throughout your pregnancy and postpartum without having to buy anything.
8. Stitch Fix
If you want to buy and keep your maternity clothes, Stitch Fix clothing subscription service includes maternity wear. To get started, fill out a style profile which includes your style, size, and price preference. Next, request a “Fix Delivery” which includes 5 hand-selected pieces delivered to you with no subscription required. When the clothes arrive, try them on, buy what you like, and send back the rest!
For maternity wear, indicate your due date, and the clothing sent will correspond to each trimester and also includes postpartum clothing. You can order on demand, or get a monthly box. You can find everything on the Stitch Fix site.
Price: Clothing items range from $25-$500, but you can cater your style profile to create a pricing window you’re comfortable sticking to. If you decide to buy everything in your delivery, you get 25% off the entire purchase. If you'd like pieces selected by your style expert, there's a $20 styling fee up front—and that fee gets credited toward anything you keep.
Shipping: Shipping and returns are free in the US.
Ships to Canada: No.
Gift Giving Available: Yes, but it's in the form of a gift card vs. a direct box.
Can you buy one box only? Yes. You can order a Fix delivery whenever you’d like. There’s no subscription required.
Best if: You want to buy and keep your maternity clothes.
What is the cheapest pregnancy subscription box?
The Mama Bird Box is the least expensive box that still has a nice variety of 4-6 pampering items that can be used during pregnancy and beyond. The price of each box drops even more if you order a longer subscription and they often have an additional discount on CrateJoy.
What’s the verdict on Pregnancy Subscription Boxes?
It’s pretty easy to get caught up in the busyness of growing a human and preparing for the big life changes that come along with their arrival. A pregnancy subscription box can be a fun way to take care of some of the little things (like skincare and journaling) and one pretty big thing (that’s you!) in the midst of the chaos.
With so many different pregnancy and postpartum products out there, subscription boxes can also help give you a sneak peek into favorites that have been tested and loved by fellow parents. Trying out a single box, or signing up for a “cancel whenever” subscription can be a great way to dip your toes into the subscription box world.
