Valentine’s Day is meant to be a day of romance and plenty of pampering with various gifts and quality time together. For those who are expecting or have just welcomed a new baby, it can sometimes prove a bit challenging to balance baby and romance but it’s not impossible! There are still a number of great ways to show her that you love her and make her feel special!
First things first, you should certainly not skip on the flowers! Fresh Valentine’s Day flowers are a must and, since her hormones might be leading her emotions to spike, you want to make sure that you live up to her expectations! Red roses are an excellent choice but if she has other preferences, make sure that you keep this in mind. Flowers are great for boosting the mood and she could use a bit of a pick-me-up if she has or is about to welcome a little girl or boy.
The next thing you need to understand is that your Valentine could be on a specific diet. So, before you rush of to buy the biggest box of chocolates, think about her health and that of the baby. Too much sugar might not be the best idea and you won’t want her gift to include any alcoholic beverages either. Pay attention to the things she is eating and particularly anything she is avoiding at this time and it will help you choose the best types of foods and snacks. One great idea is a fresh fruit hamper. Not only does it look great, but it also offers mum those extra vitamins she and the baby need.
Another great idea is to choose a pamper hamper. Pamper hampers are great because they include bath and body products to help her relax and make her feel great. Remember, when she puts these products to use, you will need to step up and take care of the baby so that she can really enjoy a long soak and time for herself. Once baby arrives, she won’t put too much time or effort into caring for herself. Her focus will be on the baby which means that it’s up to you to take care of her!
If you are able to get a baby sitter or if she is up for a night out even though she is pregnant, you could go out for an early dinner. The emphasis being on early since she will most likely want to return to your little one sooner rather than late If she is still pregnant, she might be feeling tired and want to get to bed earlier than usual.
If you are not able to get out for the evening or if she is not comfortable leaving a young baby with anyone, you could plan a romantic night in. You should be prepared to be interrupted at least a couple of times.
