Even though<\/span> t<\/span>here seems to be an endless list of don\u2019ts that <\/span>mothers an<\/span>d <\/span>mother-in-laws<\/span> like to impose,<\/span> <\/span>pregnant mums can still <\/span>afford to <\/span>have fun. <\/span>The following<\/span> <\/span>are<\/span> <\/span>some activities<\/span> that pregnant mums <\/span>can <\/span>do to<\/span> inj<\/span>ect some fun<\/span>. <\/span>With <\/span>engaging and uplifting<\/span> <\/span>activities<\/span> to occupy your time, you\u2019ll find your pregnancy <\/span>pass in a flash.<\/span><\/p>\n

Swimming<\/span><\/h2>\n

Swimming is one exercise that even obstet<\/span>r<\/span>icians encourage.<\/span> It is the one activity that allows you to move<\/span> about rather effortlessly wh<\/span>ile<\/span> you <\/span>actually<\/span> exercis<\/span>e<\/span>. <\/span>By the time you enter your second trimester, you\u2019ll probably fee<\/span>l<\/span> comfortable enough to include swimming in<\/span>to<\/span> your exercise regime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go <\/span>on a <\/span>babymoon<\/span><\/h2>\n

Once again, this is <\/span>something <\/span>endorsed by most obstet<\/span>r<\/span>icians. <\/span>Come the second trimester,<\/span> many couples <\/span>like to pack<\/span> their bags for a short trip. For many<\/span> mums- and dads-to-be<\/span>, this would be the<\/span>ir last shot at a fuss-free, kids-free holiday for several years at least<\/span>. <\/span>So make the best <\/span>of this time. Think a relaxing trip to a resort in one of the <\/span>neighbouring<\/span> countries.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Go on <\/span>a shopping spree<\/span><\/h2>\n

Being<\/span> pregnant<\/span> <\/span>gives you the right<\/span> to spend, <\/span>even if it\u2019s<\/span> mostly for <\/span>your <\/span>baby.<\/span> <\/span>While you should really focus on<\/span> shopping for needs, your spouse will certainly not say \u201cno\u201d <\/span>to wants just<\/span> to satisfy your retail desires.<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit the spa<\/span><\/h2>\n

These days, spas offer packages for pregnant mums <\/span>too<\/span>. <\/span>Be it<\/span> a pre-natal facial or <\/span>full-body massage<\/span>, a <\/span>li<\/span>t<\/span>tle <\/span>pampering is therapy for the body, mind and soul.<\/span> Having said that, avoid treatments like wraps or <\/span>saunas<\/span> as the rise in body temperature can be too much for some mums to take.<\/span> <\/span>Also<\/span> consider having a couple <\/span>massage<\/span> to give your husband <\/span>and you <\/span>an indulging<\/span> treat.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Capture <\/span>your <\/span>pregnancy with studio photography<\/span><\/h2>\n

Take professional studio photos of you with your baby bump. <\/span>Make it a fun affair by engaging your husband and even extended family if your budget allows<\/span>. They <\/span>make for<\/span> excellent keepsake that you will cherish and hand over to your child someday. <\/span>What can be more meaningful than that!<\/span><\/p>\n

Henna your belly<\/span><\/h2>\n

This trend is certainly catching on. Many pregnant mums are having fun with their full <\/span>pre-<\/span>labour<\/span> <\/span>belly by having henna artists decorate <\/span>on <\/span>it. <\/span>A form of tradition<\/span>al<\/span> Indian art, henna <\/span>is usually a safe art<\/span> form even for pregnant mums<\/span>. But do check with your obstetrician before getting one. Also ensure that the henna artist uses a mix that is safe for pregnant mums.<\/span><\/p>\n

Walk down memory<\/span> lane<\/span><\/h2>\n

Being pregnant can <\/span>make one especially sentiment. It <\/span>could<\/span> be something to do with entering an entirely new chapter <\/span>in life <\/span>that makes one look back at the past. Instead of shelving these emotions, take a walk down memory lane by visiting the schools you attende<\/span>d or the old <\/span>neighbourhood<\/span> <\/span>you grew up in. Tag your husband along and share special memories with him. <\/span><\/p>\n

Late-night coffee with girlfriends<\/span><\/h2>\n

Remember <\/span>celebrating<\/span> your impending wedding<\/span> by having a hen night<\/span> with your girlfriends<\/span>? This time around, celebrate your mother-to-be status by gathering close girlfriends for a late-night coffee. Unlike a baby shower, this would be an intimate gathering with close friends who know you best. After your baby is born, you may not have the <\/span>will nor desire<\/span> to <\/span>sneak out for late-night coffee. <\/span>Not in the <\/span>first few<\/span> months at least!<\/span><\/p>\n

Guess your baby\u2019s <\/span>birth date<\/span><\/h2>\n

Have a little bet with family and friends by making them predict your baby\u2019s birth date.<\/span> Prepare a present for the person who guesses it right<\/span>,.<\/span> <\/span>This adds to the anticipation of your newborn\u2019s arrival.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pregnant mothers have a lot to look forward<\/span> to<\/span>. The last thing you<\/span>\u2019ll<\/span> want on your mind is <\/span>worries that you <\/span>might not have <\/span>done enough for your baby<\/span>. <\/span>For peace of mind, s<\/span>peak with a professional to find out <\/span>more about suitable products<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
