Make Time For Yourself

 

You matter – and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. If you’re not at your best during your pregnancy, you’ll just make it harder on yourself. So take time out to spoil yourself from time to time. Book a pregnancy massage, get a manicure, or simply go for a walk alone when the sun’s out.

 

Prepare

Rest
