Baby mooning and How

 If you’re wondering what a ‘babymoon’ means, it is a honeymoon but before the baby arrives. It gives time to the couple to pace themselves between the nervousness, excitement and running around for the baby. The vacation is a step back and also a celebration in honour of the new addition to the family. 

It is a trend that is gaining attention rapidly, and rightly so; all mothers deserve some time to pamper themselves. A babymoon can also be a mom’s getaway with her friends, family, but it’s essentially the couple squeezing in some me-time before the chaos. 

Here’s how you can babymoon and some important pointers that can help in planning the pre-baby vacation. 

 

• When to Do It 

It is advised that the parents should wait till after 12 weeks, if you’re planning a long-haul flight or if the drive to your babymoon destination is quite long. If you plan to visit a local spa or resort, a visit before the 12-week scan is permittable. 

Travelling in the third trimester is usually avoided as it is usually when the mother is likely to feel tired and uncomfortable. Plus, there is an added risk of the early delivery.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Pay Heed to the Atmosphere 

The last thing you want on your babymoon is that the atmosphere is stressful. Take into account the situation of the area you are visiting and stray away from anything that might worry or induce anxiety in the mother. A property that offers seclusion and to unwind would be a good direction to step in.  

 

• Get Moving 

Although you’re on a vacation, ensure that you’re moving around. It is advised that the mother walks around for atleast 10 minutes, every hour. It helps in the body’s blood circulation. If your property has a beautiful beachfront, easy access to a hike, or even a picturesque scenery around, the walk in a different environment will do wonders for your mental and physical well-being.

How to Be Stylishly Comfortable During Your Pregnancy

 Pregnancy is the most beautiful experience in a woman's life. If so, the expecting mother deserves to look and feel beautiful. As the baby grows, the mother goes through numerous physical changes and the closeted treasure of loved clothes, will reduce in utility.

Here are some clothing items that are a good investment, to ace your pregnancy style game; 

 

1. Maternity Pants 

Maternity pants have been a mass-favourite. The waistline of the pair of jeans, can expand to fit the growing belly. You can pair this up with any top of your choice, kurtis for maximum comfort, or even a stolen shirt from your significant other’s closet.   

They not only look great, but also help in providing support to the belly, that almost feels like a tight hug. Can these pants be used after the nine months? Of course! After the delivery, your stomach doesn’t bounce back to what it used to be and needs a little help. The waistband of the jeans, act like a maternity belly band that is great for post-partum. You can find these in leading clothing brands or even maternity boutiques. 

 

2. Maxi Dresses

The statement piece yet simple flowy dress will guarantee you comfort and style. It's hassle-free, and many pregnant women swear on it being a boon. When you need frequent bathroom breaks, because of the fetus pushing on your bladder, you’ll thank the clothing gods for this invention. 

  

Maxi dresses can be worn even after your pregnancy when you'll be running behind your toddler. They are widely available in every store; you need not visit maternity shops specifically. Getting them stitched is a valid option too, so you can alter them going forward.

You can adjust these to your growing tummy, and you’ll be maxed out on comfort.
