While pregnancy is an exciting time for couples, it can also be extremely exhausting for the mum-to-be. In the beginning, she might feel particularly unwell and, toward the end of her pregnancy, she will certainly feel the effect of baby’s weight on her body. This is just the tip of the iceberg and, once baby arrives, it’s all hands on deck and sleep is a luxury. Many mothers agree that while caring for a newborn, they became a cross between a mom and a zombie….also known as a ‘mombie’. You somehow manage to function regardless of the fact that you have not slept and baby gets all of your care and attention.
New mothers can become particularly exhausted as a result of the extra demands of the baby and the various life changes. Which is why it’s so important to pamper mum too. New baby hampers are excellent for showing your support but they usually contain goodies for baby rather than things to help mum get back to her old self.
Pamper hampers full of bath and body products are an excellent choice. When you buy a pamper hamper, you will notice that it contains the very best products. The luxurious nature of these products are perfect for helping mum relax without leaving the comfort of her home. New mothers might not have anyone who can take care of their newborn. Which is why some home spa treatments are just what the doctor ordered!
If the baby is a few months old already, mum might like the idea of getting out of the house and taking some time out for herself. Book a spa day and be prepared to join the new mum so that she has somebody to keep her company all day too. Many people don’t realise just how important it is for mothers to get out and about.
Fresh flowers are also an excellent gift to lift her spirits. Flowers are known for improving the recipient’s mood and this is also extremely important since mothers can experience severe emotional ups and downs. Remember to include a personal message of love and encouragement.
