Some Funny Things to do in Pregnancy

When you are pregnant, you spend most of your waking moments thinking about your baby and preparing for the new arrival in your home. The excitement and anxiety that accompanies pregnancy can leave you with little time for yourself. But this is precisely the time to steal some fun moments from your busy schedule and enjoy. Rest assured, once your baby comes, you’ll regret not having done these things when they were still in your womb.Click here for more Details : Pregnancy Tips


1. Indulge in your favourite hobby or pastime - Spend time doing things you enjoy. Read a book, listen to music, join a painting or yoga & meditation class or simply meet friends and enjoy their company.

2. Pamper yourself- Go to a spa for a relaxing and therapeutic body massage. Very soon, it’s going to be just your baby who’ll be enjoying these massages everyday!

3. Go for regular pedicures - With your growing belly, very soon you will be barely able to see your feet and give them the required attention. So now is the time to focus on them. It might be just what you need after being up on your feet all day, carrying that extra weight!

4. Have a makeover - The rate, at which you expand in pregnancy, can leave you depressed and disinterested in dressing up. So draw attention to your face by sporting a new, no-fuss haircut. Try new shades of make-up. Paint your nails to add a flash of colour to your appearance. Use fancy accessories to enhance your look. These small changes will not only give you a new look, but would also keep you self-motivated.

5. Have fun with ‘retail therapy’- Don’t put off shopping for maternity wear and accessories till the last trimester. Not all maternity clothes are dull and drab. Nowadays, many designers have come up with special maternity clothing lines which are functional yet smart and chic. So go on, enjoy shopping for this new phase of your life.

6. Go for a romantic, ‘baby-free’ holiday with your husband, even if all that you can manage is a weekend. Trust us, it will never be the same again once your baby comes along. So enjoy each other’s exclusive company, go for walks together, laze around the beach, dress up for a candle light dinner…anything. Just soak in the leisure time that you have with each other-NOW!

7. Make love- Don’t give in to myths about dangers of sex during pregnancy unless of course, your doctor has specified it. It may take some effort and creativity, but it will be well-worth it! Once the baby arrives, you’ll be more inclined towards catching some sleep rather than sex!

8. Get a photo-shoot during pregnancy! It will be fun to pose with your over-grown belly and imagine the fun you can all have sharing those photos with your child when they grow up. You can even make an album of yourself in every trimester as a lovely keepsake of your pregnancy.

9. If you are a movie enthusiast, go to the theatre to watch movies every now and then. It may be quite a while before you can start taking your baby along to the theatres or even leaving them behind. So make the most of it now!

10. Sleep - Yes, you got it right! Enjoy sleeping late on weekends and take naps during the day if you can. Once the baby arrives, you will not get a good night’s sleep for a long -long time.
