As the holiday season approaches, many soon-to-be mothers might wonder how to fully enjoy this festive time while pregnant. The key? Take it easy while everyone else rushes around. Prioritize your well-being and let friends and family know that this year, you’ll be skipping the all-night parties, lengthy shopping sprees, and cross-country travels.
Here are some relaxed ways to celebrate during this special time for all expectant moms who will be pregnant during Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa.
Focus on Yourself
First, focus on yourself—a little self-care goes a long way, especially if it’s your first baby. After your little one arrives, they’ll take center stage during the holidays (and pretty much all the time!). So indulge yourself now: whether it’s cozying up with a good book or catching the latest blockbuster at the cinema, take the time to do what brings you joy. Remember, you’ll soon have someone else to cater to, at least for the first few months.
The Power of Sleep
Next, don’t underestimate the power of sleep. With the common pregnancy woes like heartburn and frequent bathroom trips, catching those Z’s can be a challenge. Use weekends and holidays to your advantage: sleep in, take those afternoon naps, or head to bed early without feeling guilty about missing out on festivities.
