Pregnancy Pampering – 12 Things To Do for the Pregnant Mom in your Life

I’m all about pregnancy pampering. One of the most important things to do is pamper the pregnant lady in your life. I was pregnant 5 times and it was incredible to be pampered by my husband, my kids and my family and friends. There are just some really nice things you can do to help out someone who is pregnant and make them feel good.

When was the last time you were pampered? I know with 4 teen sons and a 6 year old daughter, pampering comes in the form of just crashing on the couch at night sometimes! When I was pregnant, the pampering sessions were so needed. They were much more needed than I need them now. Pregnancy pampering is the best gift you could give someone in your life.

What are some ways you can do some pregnancy pampering?

I’m sharing 12 Pregnant Pampering Ideas for you to do for a pregnant mom in your life.

1. Prenatal Massage – If you’re able to gift to someone a pregnant massage, do it! I had a massage weekly when I was pregnant with my first son. It was heaven. I loved going and just being able to have someone work on me for 45 minutes. Every ache and pain was massaged and I felt as good as new when I left.

2. Pedicure/Manicure – It’s one of those little perks that you just look forward to doing. This way of pregnancy pampering is wonderful because you can go 2 times a month! You’re able to just do a little something special and fun for yourself. It’s amazing how good it feels to put your feet up and just let someone do all the work for you! Not to mention – you can’t see your toes when you’re really pregnant!

3. Nap Time – It’s one of those things you don’t realize you will miss until you actually have your baby or babies. I haven’t napped in years! This is such a great time and opportunity to lay down and let your body catch up on sleep. The best is when the people in your life let you take a nap, this is key.

4. Head to the Movies – When it comes to pregnancy pampering, an afternoon or night out to the movies is a really big deal. I love going to the movies, but when you have little kids it can be tough to do. Embrace the time now with a little pampering and get yourself to the movies to see a show!

5. Eating Dinner Out – This might not seem like the biggest deal, but it is! Enjoy a long and beautiful time eating out. You won’t have to rush out or worry about eating quickly so your kids won’t have a meltdown. I love eating out and this is such a wonderful way to pamper yourself. Even when you have kids and are pregnant again, make sure you enjoy a night out to dinner!

6. Walk on the Beach – Pamper yourself with a nice walk on the beach. Feet in the sand. Listen to the waves. Enjoy some beautiful time for yourself. I know when I head to the beach with my kids, I’m always on alert. Allow some time for yourself to just relax and take in the beauty that the beach has to offer.

7. Prenatal Exercise – Make sure you consult with a doctor before you do any exercise, but this is totally classifies as pregnancy pampering! I loved talking walks during my pregnancies. It was such a nice treat to be able to get outside and get my body moving. I just love being able to enjoy some time taking care of my body, too. This will be helpful during childbirth.

8. Yoga – Such a wonderful way to pamper yourself. I never did this during my pregnancies and I wish I had! This is a great way to center yourself and really give yourself the time to relax. I know that yoga works miracles on so many people and during pregnancy it’s a great time to start it or continue it.

9. SHOPPING TIME – Don’t laugh at this one because I’m serious! How can shopping help or contribute to pregnancy pampering? Easy! Indulge and get some items that you need for YOU! Maybe it’s some clothes. Maybe it’s some books. Maybe it’s some shoes. Whatever it is that you need, stock UP!

10. Girl’s Day or Afternoon OUT – There’s nothing like some laughter! I’m all about a girl’s ANYTHING! Grab your girls and head out for a lunch or a dinner. Just sit back and be with the people who love you and want the best for you. You can laugh and gossip and just chat all night! This is so good for the soul!

11. Meditation – I love to meditate. I think people sometimes think you need an hour to meditate. I just love to lay in bed either to start the day or end the day and just “zone” out. I do some meditation exercises and it works like a charm to calm me down.

12. TV and/or Movie Day – Have you ever dreamed of having a movie day? Just sitting down with your feet up, enjoying the remote all day long? I would watch HALLMARK all day! This is a dream for so many women and when you’re pregnant, this is just a great thing to do! Let the pregnant mama in your life pamper herself this way!

    These are all great ideas. I would add that offering to pay for a housecleaning service would also pamper a pregnant mom.
