5 . pamper yourself daily
Pampering yourself is an important role while pregnant. Taking care of your skin and body is so refreshing. Grab a mani-pedi when you can, especially during the last few months when you can't touch or even see your toes. A face mask routine every week is another great way to have a refreshing radiant mama glow. Big Fan of waxing? Book a bikini wax a week before your due date so there's one less detail to think about when it's time to meet your baby. Take yourself a warm bath or shower but avoid long, steamy ones. Warm baths while pregnant is not only relaxing, it soothes your tired, achy muscles and relieves pain. Furthermore, Make sure to Limit baths to 10 minutes or less. Sitting in hot water for an extended period of time may lead to hyperthermia. When this occurs, your body temperature becomes abnormally high.
