I overall really enjoyed my pregnancy after the morning sickness resolved at 17 weeks. These are some of my suggestions for all you pregnant mommies!!!

*stay ACTIVE
I worked out the entire pregnancy at least 3-4 days a week. Towards the end it was mostly walking and yes I may have taken a week off here and there, but overall I kept moving.
Benefits: healthy weight gain, higher self-esteem, great for you and the baby, and this may not be true, but I feel like it may have helped me go into labor naturally.
*Dress fabulous
I was very excited about getting a new wardrobe! Honestly with fashion trends these days I was able to incorporate lots of things I already had. I probably bought no more than 15 items, but they were all things that could make different looks. Accessories are key!! I also wore heels until the very end. You already feel stumpy, so if you are brave enough go for it. I knew I would not feel good about myself, if for 10 months I wore sloppy clothing. Once again this does not mean that I never did, but majority of the time I still tried to look nice.
Benefits: higher self-esteem, date nights, happy mom = happy husband = happy baby
*Pregnant Diet
I never had the urge to eat everything in site, but maybe a day or two the entire pregnancy. I am not really sure if women really have it the entire time. I feel some women use I am pregnant as an excuse to eat everything. With my pregnancy I ate what I wanted which was the typical amount I would normally eat. My indulging was if I wanted a cookie everyday with every meal I ate it and did NOT feel guilty.
Benefits: healthy weight gain (less stretch marks), less to lose later, and higher self esteem
Good luck to all you hot pregnant Mommas!!!
