Ways to really soak in and appreciate your pregnancy?

Question

I am almost 25 weeks with baby number one. However my husband and I still haven’t decided if we want one or two children. If we choose one after a few years, this will obviously be my only pregnancy. I am wanting two children but my husband only one so we shall see. Anyways, I’m feeling a little down about the idea of this being my only pregnancy, and wondering what are ways you really took time to soak in and enjoy your pregnancy?

Answer

I honestly wouldn’t stress over it too much. Majority of the time, their mind will change after experiencing one.

Answer

Document everything!  My first sons baby book I wrote in weekly with belly pics and any dr notes.  
We weren’t sure we were going to be able to have another and so coming to terms with that was hard but a miracle happened in life and we’re due with our 2nd in 7 more weeks and I’ve been terrible this pregnancy with the pics and baby book but it’s been great to look back at my oldest a book for what I was going thru at this same stage.  Either way if you have 1 or 2 they’re great memories to have.

Answer

Buy or make a pregnancy journal and write everything down

Answer

Pics! Lots of maternity and belly pics. You’ll look back on it years from now and adore them. Also, pics of the nesting process, like stages of doing the nursery, virtual baby shower and a drive by baby shower, and maybe find a mommy to be group or a belly buddy to share your pregnancy experience and funny stories with. Also maybe a mini pregnancy diary (it’s not too late), meaning, every night before you go to bed, take 5 mins to jot down 1 thing that made you smile or laugh with your pregnancy. Just some suggestions of things I do 🤗

Answer

Pictures are a great way. You can always look back on them. A lot of women dont do bump pictures because of negative feelings about their bodies, but I think every should have some. I would have regretted not taking any pictures of my bump. A maternity shoot would be good too if this might be your last. 
Also just sitting back and enjoying the kicks. Take time to slow down, remember the funny pregnancy stories and feel your baby. 
Maybe travel a bit if possible. (Hard with a pandemic and if you dont have funds). But you could take your baby places while pregnant and tell them about visiting those places in the future.
