Thanksgiving While Pregnant

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to get together with loved ones, have a lovely meal, and be thankful for that little one growing inside you!! It can also get a little stressful if you're hosting the dinner or driving/flying to see relatives. Here are a few tips to make your Thanksgiving enjoyable while pregnant!

• Take every opportunity you can to put your feet up and relax! Let others do the work and you get some rest! After all, you have a good excuse :)
• If the smell of Thanksgiving food makes you queazy, opt to eat out instead, or go out for a walk while the food is being prepared.
• Don't feel guilty if you over indulge a bit, just don't overdo it! Enjoy this stage of your life and the savory holiday treats!
• Be prepared to hear lots of "advice" from friends and relatives! It can get a little annoying, but be open minded about it and take them with a smile :)
• Don't feel insulted by comments about your body image. You may hear things like: "you're so big," or "you're about to pop soon!" Every woman carries their baby and weight differently. I know it may be hard, but try to ignore it.
• If you are traveling, make sure you get the ok from your dr.
• Keep a positive attitude!! Your little one will thank you!!

Have a happy Thanksgiving ladies!!
