13 Ways to Pamper Your Pregnant
Self
  Consider
treating yourself to some of the following relaxing and fun
activities during the last weeks of your pregnancy. They’ll take
your mind off any discomforts or anxiety you may have and will
help you enjoy what remains of your pre-baby life.
1. Have your hair cut, colored or styled. (Make an appointment for
your due date so you’ll have something pleasant to do—and
something to show for it—if your baby shows no signs of
appearing.)
2. Treat yourself to a manicure, pedicure, facial, makeover or
massage. (Be sure your massage therapist is experienced with
prenatal massage.)
3. Go out for dinner with your partner or a close friend.
4. Plan a ceremony to celebrate your baby’s birth.
5. Be the guest of honor at a baby shower.
6. Go shopping.
7. Work on handicrafts for your baby.
8. Have friends in for a visit.
9. Take in a movie, concert or play. (Sit in an aisle seat toward
the back.)
10. Stage your own film festival with rented videos or DVDs.
11. Visit your local art museum or gallery. (It may be a while
before you get another opportunity.)
12. Read those new novels now, while you have the chance!
13. Enjoy a day trip or an overnight or weekend getaway with your
partner.
