Pregnancy is a beautiful experience, but it’s not always rainbows and butterflies. You may be stressed out, sleep-deprived, swollen and aching all over.
We’re not trying to scare you away! Despite all that, there are different things you can do to make these next nine months more enjoyable for expecting parents. Here are some ways to make you a happy pregnant mother:
#1 Keep a pregnancy journal
This can be in the form of a written diary or scrapbook with thoughts, notes and ramblings of your entire pregnancy, right from the moment you found out that you’re pregnant to the day you go into labour. You’ll cherish these memories forever.
#2 Take pictures of weird pregnancy cravings
One of the most unusual things a pregnant woman will experience is sudden cravings that she absolutely must have at that point in time, and the poor husband would have to go to the ends of the world to satisfy these cravings. Take pictures of these moments and add them into your journal as well!
#3 Document growing bump weekly
This is something that most pregnant mothers are already doing because, well, Instagram. One of the most creative ways to document your child’s growth is using fruits to describe the size. As common as it is, take this opportunity to admire the tiny being growing inside your belly!
#4 Make a list of names

Mark our words, there’ll be lots of debates about this with your partner and immediate family, but the earlier you start brainstorming, the better. There are millions of names to choose from so don’t do this last minute and give yourself unnecessary stress! As long as it’s not X Æ A-12…
#5 Get a prenatal massage

Pregnant women often feel nauseous, experience strain on the muscles and joints, and face difficulty sleeping. A gentle and soothing prenatal massage can help relieve muscle tension and boost circulation. So be sure to book an appointment with a trained therapist!
#6 Go for prep classes
