As you excitedly await the arrival of your LO, you may also be experiencing some unexpected concerns. How can you practice preventative measures to stay healthy? Will your baby shower happen as planned? Will your family be there for the birth? These stresses can start to impact your emotional and physical well-being, making the need for self-care even more important in the days ahead.
If you’ve ever flown on an airplane, you may remember the flight attendant instructing you to “put your oxygen mask on first” before helping others. This is because if you run out of oxygen yourself, you can’t help anyone else. This is a great lesson to keep in mind as an expectant mama. When your LO arrives, you will likely find yourself focusing time and energy outside of yourself, helping others. Maintaining your own wellness will become more important than ever, but it can be easy to overlook. Use this time before your LO’s arrival to build habits of self-care. Here are 6 things you can do to take care of yourself, while still practicing responsible social distancing.
