Trust your intuition

Maternal intuition already tells you a lot during pregnancy, when you are deeply connected to the baby growing inside you every day. Be receptive to the signals your body and head send you. For many people, a pregnant belly is a signal to start engaging you with unsolicited advice, their own knowledge, and all kinds of stories that you definitely don’t care about. Listen (when there is no quick fix), don’t comment, don’t argue and do as you see fit. Only you know when strawberry ice cream, toast with Nutella or delicious coffee “sparks” you the most. No regrets!

Plan a party with your girlfriends on time

The so-called baby shower, that is, the celebration of pregnancy and the birth of a baby, is mainly known from American films and series, but has also become increasingly popular in our region in recent years. In any case, it is a pleasant distraction and an excuse to get together with close friends and look forward to the arrival of the baby with them. Moreover, it has become a tradition to bring souvenirs to pregnant women, which is certainly very pleasant, isn’t it? Before giving birth and the merry-go-round that awaits you after, you definitely deserve a little rest and fun. Let yourself be pampered and surrounded by the attention of “your” woman, enjoy your “uniqueness” to the fullest.

Put yourself first

Take care of yourself, take care of your body and soul so that they are fine. Get enough rest, that’s the mantra you’ve heard everywhere, from doctors and mothers… But what does it mean specifically? A new person is growing inside you, which means a lot of demanding work and a huge burden on the organism. It is therefore clear that you may often feel a lack of energy and strength. Be kind to yourself, don’t try to fight fatigue, listen to your body that is working a lot of overtime, and rest as much as you can.

Listen to your wants and needs. Treat yourself to a delicious meal, take a relaxing bath that smells good, go to bed early, take a dip in the pool, do yoga or take a walk in the forest and take a deep breath of fresh air. But you can also lie on the sofa for half the day watching your favorite series if you don’t want to do anything else.

Take pictures and be photographed

Yes, even if you feel like a dog, the occasional hormonal storm makes you bloated and has greasy hair, don’t give up on making memories and taking photos or pictures. Believe me, later you will really regret it if you don’t have memories. Yes, even one that over time will make you laugh out loud or maybe even scare you a little. Swollen legs, age spots on the face, tangled hair and 20 kilograms of excess weight, all of this is related to the amazing miracle that you have brought a beloved living creature into the world. It’s not for nothing that they say that every pregnant woman is like a goddess. Even if you don’t like it. It’s amazing what your body can do.
