It's important that you nurture your whole self during pregnancy; your physical, mental and spiritual self. Yoga is a great way to get in touch with yourself on a deeper level

while reducing any stress you might be experiencing. You can probably find yoga classes that focus on prenatal positions to benefit pregnant women.

When you're pregnant, you often experience aches and pains, especially towards the end of the pregnancy. One way to alleviate those ailments is by getting a prenatal massage. It's just

as wonderful as any massage, and it improves circulation and helps you sleep better.

You don't realize how amazing a smoothie is until you drink one as a pregnant lady. Little indulgences like a special drink taste ten times better when you're having pregnancy

cravings. Healthy smoothies and milkshakes provide essential nutrients that are good for you and baby, so don't feel guilty about ordering a large for the next few months.

Staying active during pregnancy is really important. You don't want to over-exercise, but you definitely want to take time everyday to walk, jog, swim or engage in light physical activity.

You might not consider this a form of pampering, but when the alternative is to sit and moan from fatigue, you'll feel pampered.

When you take prenatal vitamins, your hair and nails grow really fast. And just like you should get haircuts regularly when you're not pregnant, you should get them while you

are. It's even more crucial during pregnancy, since your hair is growing faster and you're more likely to enjoy any beauty treatment.

This one is a big one. Because once that baby comes along, you will never sleep again. But also, when you are well rested during pregnancy, you're healthier and stronger-

both mentally and physically. Those nights out with the girls will have to wait because you need to get some sleep, mama!

Here's another thing you'll get less of once that baby is born- nice long showers. Enjoy them while you can! Seek guidance from your doctor regarding the way hot showers

can affect the baby (some advise against taking them), but if you get the go ahead to steam up the bathroom, soak it up and take your time washing that

growing bump.

It can feel like throwing money away when you have to buy a new wardrobe for just 9 months. However, those 9 months are going to be one of the

most important, memorable times of your life. You deserve to look and feel great, and if that means splurging on maternity clothes, then go for it!
