7 Tips to Manage the Holidays while Pregnant

Pregnancy during the holidays can be such a special and joyful time, but, let’s be honest, it can also comes with some unique challenges and stresses. Here are a few tips to help you have a healthy and enjoyable holiday season while pregnant:

1. Stay Hydrated: Make sure to drink plenty of water, especially if you're in a warmer climate or if you're traveling. 

2. Say no. It’s ok to say no if you don’t feel like going to every outing, celebration etc. Give yourself some grace and time to recharge if needed. 

3. Layers: With pregnancy hormones, who knows when we’ll feel hot or not? Layers make it easy to get comfy quickly while you maintain the best dressed in the family. 😉Our membership gives you unlimited exchanges all month long so layers aren't a problem. 

4. Antacids: Just in case heartburn rears its head. In addition to antacids, there are other ways to help ease the burn. Milk +honey, almonds and pineapple are a few ways to ease the pain. For a list of even more ways to help: click here.

5. Compression socks: If you’re traveling especially on planes, consider compression socks for comfort and health. Cute ones here.

6. Avoid Stress: Easier said than done, huh? As much as we try to avoid it, the holidays are stressful. Practice self care  - whatever that may look like for you. Meditation, Bath, Reading a book etc. 

7. Gifts: Consider asking for or purchasing gifts that will make your pregnancy more comfortable. Gift cards for pregnancy or as a new mom are great so mama has one less thing to think about. 

Enjoy this special time in your life and in the year and make lasting holiday memories.
