Top 10 Things To Do During Maternity Leave
Most working women look forward to their maternity leave in the third trimester of their pregnancy. But once they go on leave, they are at loss on what to do. You need to plan the things to do during your maternity leave. If you don't have a workable plan, you will probably waste all the free time wondering what to do.
You cannot do a lot of things when you are 9 months pregnant. But there are a few things that you can do only during this time. The things to do in your maternity leave should help you keep depression at bay and prepare your new baby. Once your baby comes, you can hardly get any work done. So try to enjoy the third trimester of your pregnancy as much as you can.
It is common for working women to feel depressed while they sit at home. But remember that this free time will never come back to you. So plan ahead for all the things you would like to do and then make good use of your time.These some of the best things to do during your maternity leave.
Sleep As Much You Can
Sleep soundly during these last few weeks. After your baby comes, you will be sleep deprived for months. So catch your last quota of peaceful sleep.
Go Baby Shopping
You will hardly get any time to buy baby clothes, wrappers, bottles etc. after your baby is born. So, shop for all these baby things while you still have time.
Catch Up With Friends
Due to our tight work schedules, we often lose touch with friends. One of the best things to do during maternity leave is to catch up with old friends.
Read Books
Reading books is a leisure we usually have in our student days. Once you start working, the work pressure doesn't leave scope to read for pleasure. But when you are pregnant, you have all the time to read.
Prepare Your Home For The Baby
You need to baby proof your home before your little one comes home. Hide all sharp objects. Place the crib where you want it. Keep everything ready for your baby.
Change Your Wardrobe
A breastfeeding mother needs a new wardrobe. You have to buy special maternity clothes that have buttons or zips in the front. These clothes keep your breasts accessible for feeding.
Listen To Music
Listening to music is one of the best ways to cool you hormones. You will be suffering from extreme mood swings in your third trimester of pregnancy. Control hormonal outbursts by listening to music.
Last Round Of Binge Eating
These are the last few weeks when you can eat without guilt. So binge on your favourite foods. Muffins, chocolate cakes, doughnut etc.
Get Foot Massages
Many women have swollen feet during the last phase of their pregnancy. So getting a foot massage at a spa really helps.
Attend A ‘New Parent’ Course
There are many ‘parenting' courses that prepare expectant parents to care for their newborn baby. You can consider joining one of these to get some hands on experience.
