Whether you’re planning a baby or expecting your first child there are definitely things I would say to take advantage of before you become parents…
Check out my list of things to do/take advantage of both before you fall pregnant and whilst your pregnant before your first baby arrives…
Pre/Whilst planning a baby
- Go out and party if that’s your thing or…
- Whatever your ‘thing’ is, be it days out, minis breaks, cinema trips etc do it.
- Enjoy wearing heals
- Travel
- Do whatever you want to… Before routines, bedtimes and before you’re ruled by a tiny version of yourself!
- Coffee coffee coffee… before you have to start limiting your intake and drinking decaf!
- Have and enjoy lazy days and me time – why not!!
- Embrace your mobility and agility… After conception the third trimester will creep up where you may not be as agile!

Whilst pregnant
- Sleep – and don’t feel guilty about it. Nap away till your hearts content
- Go to the cinema
- Be selfish – without the mum guilt.
- Go out for dinners/lunches and enjoy being able to eat/drink without attending to your soon new arrival
- Enjoy your me time!
- Lay in and have lazy days – don’t feel guilty about them!
- Embrace your bump… show it off if you want to.

- Do whatever you want… relax, go out or just stay in and watch Netflix. Enjoy you time!
- Join some Facebook forum groups for local mums in your area. Maternity leave can sometimes be lonely.
- Join an Nct group or similar.
- Go on a babymoon- staycation or abroad – just spend time together/with friends and family. Click here to see our babymoons.

- Nest – take time to prepare for your new arrival
- And most importantly… Enjoy peeing in privacy and having uninterrupted showers! 🤣
