One of the things I like most about being pregnant is the amount of pampering and attention I receive... Of course, in my case it is our first offspring and the first grandson that comes to the family, so apart from my already prominent gut, there are plenty of reasons to be like this.
From the first moment I have received some gifts and I have realized how much they comfort in this hormone dance, because, although those that we began to receive for our babies are very excited, believe me, a detail for the mother will always be appreciated. Today I tell you about some of the ones I've received and that have definitely been a success.
A beauty treatment
I guess not all pregnant women will happen, but my skin has undergone a complete revolution following pregnancy: I can perfectly spend a week with the skin like that of a teenage girl (full of annoying pimples and glitters), to look older thanks to extreme dryness and more marked lines of expression than ever.
If this is the case of the recipient of the gift, I recommend that you look for a good aesthetic center that has a dermatology service where they can do a custom treatment. The skin usually becomes very sensitive, so the protocol must be basically soothing and balancing.
A photo shoot
When I tell my friends to show me their pregnant photos, I can count on the fingers of those who have one that has not been improvised and without any hint of artistic photo.
I think the only way to have a really beautiful and 'teachable' memory is to hire the services of a professional who knows about this and who manages to print this beautiful moment in photos. If it's a gift I don't even tell you… it will be definitely unforgettable.
A maternity pillow
At this point I return to my own experience; It's hard for me, or well, there was a point where I had trouble sleeping. The weight of my baby, having been accustomed to sleeping on my stomach for a lifetime and some discomfort in the lower part of the gut added up and resulted in the nights becoming a not very pleasant moment for me,
Fortunately, a friend of mine showed up with that wonderful invention called "maternity pillow", a gadget that I had seen in my life (although sometimes it seems that it was the only one, because when I have talked about it it seems that it is very popular), and that It marked a before and after in my night rest.
Mine is not the same as in the photo, since it has a "C" shape, it is very fluffy and quite large, so that it envelops you as if it were a nest help you find the perfect posture and be very comfortable. When I go on a trip it is the first thing I pack in the car, even before the suitcase and with that I tell you everything.
A shirt with a message
Although it is not a practical gift, it is very exciting. Many of us like to look gut and spread to the four winds that there is a baby inside that belly, so those garments with a message are perfect for those moments when we want to exalt our maternal pride. The one in the photo is from Women Secret Maternity, a super complete collection that the brand has just launched for future mothers.
Book
I think it is one of the most common but they always come in handy to learn things. This time I will not propose the typical book that tells you what happens to your baby month by month, but "The album of my pregnancy", a kind of diary in which you can write down many beautiful things that are usually forgotten as time goes by. In addition it also serves as an agenda, so it is also practical enough.
Surely you have more ideas, but for now I assure you that these have come to me like fallen from the sky, although if I could only stay with a couple I would not hesitate: lto pillow and facial treatment. Tell me! ... Have you received any gifts during your pregnancy that you remember in a special way?
