TIPS ON HOW TO STAY RELAXED DURING THE HOLIDAYS WHILE ON YOUR THIRD TRIMESTER
When it comes to the holidays, there are a lot of things to think about:
Shopping for yourself and family
Shopping for holiday parties
Planning for holiday events/dinners
Traveling for the holidays
Planning for a vacation during the winter break
But what about planning for your baby on the way......
Preparing for a holiday baby can be stressful for these reasons:
Shopping for your baby and christmas shopping for your family can be stressful and EXPENSIVE. Your bank account may decrease significantly.
Planning a baby shower during the holidays can be very stressful and many people may have already made plans for the holidays.
Although most pregnant women are immuned to the cold, some pregnant women aren't as motivated to head out and about in the cold weather during their third trimester.
As many people are all about the holiday cheer, you're somewhat miserable.
As the baby is soon arriving, you are getting anxious.
By now, you may have gained about 60 pounds. (It's what we don't want to hear, but it's true)
Last but not least; there is always the "LAST minute shopping".
There is no need to be stressed out. Here are some tips on how to take it easy during the holidays:
Pray!!!!!! Seek God. Ask for peace, a healthy baby, and guidance.
Budget accordingly and find one day to shop for everything you need. You don't have to stop at several stores. Do most of your shopping online and use your coupons. It saves you money and fatigue.
You do not have to plan a huge baby shower or huge holiday party. Keep it simple and intimate.
Take time to just relax and let your significant other or family member take care of the last minute shopping.
Treat yourself before the baby arrives. Go to a spa or a salon. (You are about to get no sleep very soon).
Keep yourself healthy and happy.
Use the holiday spirit to give you peace of mind by attending holiday parties and spending time with loved ones.
KNOW THAT THE GREATEST GIFT YOU'LL GET TO RECEIVE IS YOUR BUNDLE OF JOY.
