10 Things to Do For Yourself Before Baby Arrives

This past weekend I decided to treat myself to a pre-baby spa day! At 37 weeks pregnant, the discomfort is getting real, so I was definitely looking forward to this. 

I had the most amazing time unwinding at the Panacea Luxury Spa with one of my girlfriends! We booked a mani & pedi and were pampered with plush robes, slippers, non-alcoholic cocktails, and truly felt fancy for a day. 

This place has been on my radar for a while and it was honestly just what I needed before giving birth! 

I haven’t always been intentional about taking time for myself. In fact, I used to feel really guilty about spending any money for things outside of the needs of my house or children. 

But I’m much better now at making myself a priority so that I can be the wife and mom I want to be. 

Related: My Favorite Self-Care Essentials As A Busy Mom

It’s been three days since my spa day and I still feel so refreshed and ready to embrace this next chapter as a mom of five!

I highly recommend every mama-to-be do something for yourselves before your baby arrives! Life is about to get so busy with endless diaper changes, back-to-back feedings, and you’ll be running on absolutely no sleep. 

So while you’re busy trying to finish the nursery, pack your hospital bag, and make sure that your newborn has everything it needs, remember to take some time for you — because you deserve it, mama! 

10 Pre-Baby Self-Care Ideas
  1. Treat yourself to a mani/pedi
  2. Get your hair done 
  3. Catch some live music 
  4. Go out to eat with a friend 
  5. Run yourself a warm bath
  6. Take an art, cooking, or pottery class
  7. Book a prenatal massage
  8. Plan a romantic getaway with your partner — also known as a Babymoon!
  9. See a good movie 
  10. Go shopping for new skincare, makeup, or postpartum clothes.

How do you like to treat yourself?
