Plan a Party

Pregnancy is an exciting time for moms to be, especially if it is their first pregnancy or if they have been trying to get pregnant for a long period of time.  This time in their lives is definitely a time for celebration.  So, what can you do as a friend of a “mom to be” to make this time super special for them?

Throw them a baby shower. Baby showers are wonderful, especially for first time parents who need every single possible item for their baby.  They allow them to receive the many necessities from gift givers and ease the burden of getting all these items themselves. 

Plan a day of pampering for them. If you’ve ever been pregnant you know the aches and pains that go along with the 9 months of carrying your precious bundle.  This is a perfect time to treat your mom to be pal with a trip to the spa, a makeover, or a manicure and pedicure.  After all, they deserve it right?

Help them set up their nursery. Many times this is one of the most looked forward to events, but at the same time it is one that they may not be able to tackle on their own because they can barely walk or bend over.  So, having a helping hand will most likely be welcomed.

These are just a few of the fun ideas that you can do for the mom to be in your life.
