Most women like shopping. However, sometimes pregnant women reluctant to go because they are afraid might hurt them. That is not true! Go and have fun. You do not have to spend any money; just go out and shop windows. Try on shoes; Check out the new fall purses or sample a new cookie at the corner stand. Shopping is very therapeutic for women, and that gives you a chance to clear your mind.
If you are feeling ambitious, however, or can not justify taking an afternoon to shop, take a task, such as Children's room decide on colors or selecting a crib. Then, you will feel like you are accomplishing something as you go.
Do not get stressed, however, if you do not find what you want immediately. Remember, just looking now. There is no hurry to immediately find and buy everything, especially since friends and family want to help bring gifts to the baby shower.
If you have some dress shop, handbags and makeup, however, that's fine too. Sometimes it is good to step away from the world "mama" and remember that you are also a woman who has her own needs and wants. Do not feel guilty if you need some "me" time or if you need a little something to cheer his mood. A new maternity outfit or a sweet-scented lotion may be all you need for feeling stressed and revitalized. You might also feel good to try new perfumes and seeing those strappy sandals look like (even if you know it would kill your feet!).
Remember that while you are out shopping, you have to be relaxing. Enjoy an ice cream or watch a new movie if the center has a theater. Any of these activities will help you let go of the stress and renew your spirit. Then you will be fully prepared to be a mother again!
