To all those who are looking out for a pregnant lady, here are some quick ways to spoil her. The bottom line, help her de-stress and focus on growing baby!

1. help out with chores. my husband loves his morning sleep in time. he has given it up to help me unload the dishwasher in the morning. small, but meaningful way to give me more time to sleep in myself!

2. prepare a meal for her! my favorite. i LOVE eating and i know a lot of pregnant ladies who do. having good food ready for you is so nice! my sister-in-law fixed baked ziti last night that is AMAZING and my husband, who is aware i am now forgetful, packed it for my lunch today! yeah for two yummy meals!

3.  buy some bubble bath! this is oh so nice! after a day of back aches due to a growing belly, a little relief makes sleep come a lot easier.

4.  create a nap time or sleep in day for her. take care of the phone, deliveries, other kids, pets, etc and allow her to have one day a week where she can catch an extra hour of sleep!

These are simple, and don’t require anything that will break the bank. Other ideas, like a pregnancy massage, or pedicures are also nice gestures to get the mommy-to-be relaxed. The more de-stressed she is, the happier the growing baby is.
