First Pregnancy: 9 Essential Tips for Navigating Your Journey

1. Take Prenatal Vitamins This one is basic, and probably the first thing anyone will tell you to do, and for good reason.

2. Pregnancy Safe Skincare When you’re pregnant, your skin becomes way more sensitive than normal, which is why experts advice against using harsh ingredients on your skin.

3. Don’t Forget Your Makeup One of the things that instantly makes me feel better

4. Maternity Dresses …Or maternity clothing in particular, whichever makes you most comfortable. I generally prefer dresses over pants—something about a flowy or fitted dress

5. Prenatal Yoga As many will tell you, it is so important to keep moving during pregnancy.

6. Relax Rest. Take a nap. Watch TV. Do what you need to do to feel rested and relaxed. Being pregnant is no joke.

7. Comfortable Shoes Not all women increase in shoe size during pregnancy, but many of us do.

8. Celebrate Every Milestone Being pregnant is a beautiful thing! Your body is changing daily, and there may be days that you feel way too tired to show up.

9. Listen to Advice, But Don’t Get Too Hung Up! Yes, I get it. Every mom, aunt, cousin and stranger on the street has an opinion on your growing belly. From what to eat, and what to wear, and how to walk up and down stairs.
