For some of us who yearn to be parents, it’s difficult to get through the year without the hormonal roller coaster that is pregnancy. And with this being said, it seems like only yesterday we were in our first trimester and feeling the butterflies in our stomachs. As much as we love the idea of becoming parents and being a part of this special chapter in our lives, sometimes it’s hard to plan for everything. When you’re simultaneously entering your final months of pregnancy and worrying about what will happen when you finally have kids, it can be easy to overlook the small things that can make a big difference in how you go about getting through the year. Luckily, there are numerous ways that you can ensure that this season of parenthood doesn’t feel like an entire directory of planned activities—and not just another boring one-night stand or babysitting gig – by planning ahead for your next pregnancy. When you think about it, no one else is going to be able to share your adventure as closely as you can. So, how do you know when to plan ahead for your next pregnancy? Here are 5 tips!

Plan Without The Chant

Chants can be a great way to get through the paces when you’re pregnant. They can be used as a pre-planning tool to help you identify what activities you want to focus on during your pregnancy. If you’re planning to do an outdoor activity or have a passion for traveling, chanters can be a great way to visualize your activities during pregnancy. In fact, a study found that pregnant women who thought they could “see” their future child in their minds were more likely to visit their crib during the night than women who didn’t have this ability. If you’re not a fan of nature, you can certainly use channelling to your advantage. You can use your spiritual or mental health beliefs to help you feel calm and centered during your pregnancy. You can also use your artistic ability to help you visualize what your child will look like. If you have a natural tendency to overthink things and get bogged down in details, it can be helpful to write them all out on paper so that you have easy-to-digest information to keep in mind while you wait for your due date to come around.

Be Prepared

This might seem like an odd thing to say about an entire year of parenting, but when it comes to your baby’s arrival, you need to be ready. It’s a good idea to have a plan. If you’re trying to get through one month of pregnancy with a low-key and consistent schedule, then by all means go for it. But if you want to be prepared for the challenges that will come your way, then make a plan. If you want to be able to handle your natural tendency to overthink things, then make sure that you contain your energy and remain calm. If you want to stay physically and emotionally active, then find ways to keep yourself from getting too exhausted or too drained. Set healthy boundaries and take care of yourself. You’re never going to be able to do this all by yourself.

Do Something Different Each Day

If you’re feeling particularly overworked or stressed out during the month of pregnancy, you can try incorporating some extra activities. You can make time for hobbies that you feel like you could enjoy and that would keep your mind and body fresh. You can also try doing some creative writing or talking with a friend that you’d like to spend time with. You may find that talking with a friend can help you relax and think more freely. Talking with a professional can also be helpful in this regard. Some people find that talking with a friend can help them decompress from the emotions that they’re feeling while pregnant. So, if you’re looking for ways to relax and decompress from your pregnancy, speaking with a friend can be a great way to do it.

Take A Short Break

During your second trimester, you’re going to feel exhausted and unmotivated. You’re going to crave the activities that you love to do and you’re going to miss the social interaction that you had as a baby. Remember, too, that your cellphone is a passport that you’re going to use during your pregnancy. So, plan out at least a week so that you’re clear on who you can talk to and what you can do during this time. Take a quick break and clear your mind so that you have something else to focus on. Something like journaling or creative writing. Whatever creative outlet you decide to use, make sure that it’s something that you can stay focused on while you wait for your due date to come around.

Don’t Forget To Eat Nutrition

You’re going to have naps, you’re going to snack at various points during the day and you’re going to be dehydrated. So, make sure that you’re drinking plenty of water before you begin any physical activity. Water is great for all of the reasons that you mentioned above, so make sure that you’re drinking plenty of it during your pregnancy. And don’t forget to moisturize your skin too! Your skin will get so dry after your second pregnancy that it’ll feel like it’s being burned. So, moisturize and replace any lost moisture with extra water before you get started.

Have A Plan For Your Pregnancy Baggage

As your body prepares for pregnancy, you’re going to have a lot of free time. Your phone will be roaming the world and you’ll have the opportunity to spend as much time as you want with your friends or family. You might find that organizing and making a plan for this time is the most helpful thing that you can do. And you can do this by looking at your calendar to see what time of the day is best for you. For example, if you’re in the mood to relax and unwind after a hard day, you can plan a spacy during the day. Or you can choose to do something more focused like stretching or even some yoga. Whatever activity you choose, make sure that it’s something that you can put forward as a priority and make a real effort to do during your pregnancy.

Conclusion

Pregnancy is an exciting and exciting time for everyone. You’re going to be able to feel your best, you’re going to have new experiences and you’re going to have loads of fun with your kids. What you don’t know about is how much you’re going to enjoy it. You’re going to have mixed feelings about the whole thing, but you’re going to be okay with it because it’s a great experience. And your kids are going to love it, too. So, plan out your parenthood journey and get ready for a great year!
