13 Ways to Pamper Your Pregnant Self
By Christine Zuchora-Walske
- Consider treating yourself
to some of the following relaxing and fun activities during
the last weeks of your pregnancy. They’ll take your
mind off any discomforts or anxiety you may have and will
help you enjoy what remains of your pre-baby life.
- Have your hair cut, colored or
styled. (Make an appointment for your due date so you’ll
have something pleasant to do—and something to show
for it—if your baby shows no signs of appearing.)
- Treat yourself to a manicure, pedicure,
facial, makeover or massage. (Be sure your massage therapist
is experienced with prenatal massage.)
- Go out for dinner with your partner
or a close friend.
- Plan a ceremony to celebrate your
baby’s birth.
- Be the guest of honor at a baby
shower.
- Work on handicrafts for your baby.
- Have friends in for a visit.
- Take in a movie, concert or play.
(Sit in an aisle seat toward the back.)
- Stage your own film festival with
rented videos or DVDs.
- Visit your local art museum or
gallery. (It may be a while before you get another opportunity.)
- Read those new novels now, while
you have the chance!
- Enjoy a day trip or an overnight
or weekend getaway with your partner.
