A woman is capable of great things and giving birth is one of them. But having a child is a blessing given to two people who love each other: the mother and the father.
During pregnancy, a woman needs to be supported by her loved ones, she sees her body changing, she realizes that soon her world will revolve around her child, that her life will change and that a new daily routine will slowly take place. The father plays an important role during pregnancy; he must show that he is invested, happy with the arrival of the baby, support his dear and tender during the moments when nothing is going well to bring back the smile.
The Neuvième Ciel team then thought about it and came up with some attentions that women will appreciate during their pregnancy. Let's go!
Making breakfast in bed
If before pregnancy a woman was already crazy about breakfast in bed, then imagine during it! It's simple and super effective to put a smile on a woman's face in the morning.
Here's an example of what everyone loves: toast, a cup of tea/coffee, fresh orange juice, hard-boiled eggs and a bowl of cut and peeled fruit (even more important if you are not immunized against toxoplasmosis). Be careful with foods that are forbidden during pregnancy, we don't want this attention to turn into an intestinal disaster...
Romantic bonus: you can't say no to a fresh flower!
Suggest walks
Walking during pregnancy is one of the sports that represents the least risk of injury and has many benefits. Indeed, walking can relieve possible back pain caused by the weight of the belly that grows over the months. It also allows you to maintain your physical fitness since your muscles tone up, including the perineum which is a major player in childbirth. It is therefore essential to strengthen it in order to prepare yourself as well as possible for the big day.
During pregnancy, many women have unpleasant sensations of heavy legs and walking helps to combat this problem. By walking, you activate the venous pump located under the arch of the foot, which helps promote venous return and therefore limits this sensation as well as water retention problems.
Attending prenatal visits and ultrasounds
This is a bit of a basis for supporting a woman during her pregnancy, but it seemed unthinkable to us not to mention it! These are special moments that strengthen your relationship. For example, seeing your child's hand or heartbeat for the first time during an ultrasound is a moment that all women want to share with their loved one.
It is equally important that a pregnant woman is accompanied during prenatal visits. Childbirth is a time that many women dread, so accompanying her to these visits shows that the father will be there just as much to hold her hand and encourage her on the big day.
Giving your wife maternity clothes
When a woman is pregnant, she does not always find what she would like to wear in stores and ends up giving up the idea of dressing daily by wearing the same maternity leggings and t-shirts that are very comfortable but not very chic and sexy. It is to make pregnant women want to make themselves beautiful that Neuvième Ciel was born and offers dresses , some shirts , some high , some maternity pants … The brand wishes to continue supporting pregnant women until they start breastfeeding by also offering clothes designed for breastfeeding .
Preparing the baby's room
Thinking about decorating ideas, the theme of your future child's room, taking the initiative to go and compare furniture in a store are attentions that show a certain haste and impatience to welcome your baby home. It's a great activity to do together during Madame's nine months of pregnancy!
Doing massages
When a woman is pregnant her body changes a lot which can cause ligament and muscle tension. To relieve this stiffness, it is possible to massage the parts of the body under tension only if the pregnancy is without complications. You should always seek the advice of a health professional before practicing massages on a pregnant woman. We recommend reading This item to know how to massage a pregnant woman correctly.
Take care of administrative procedures
The administration… what a real chaos! And since doctors have recommended that a pregnant woman avoid any source of stress, it is preferable that it is the man who takes care of registering at the maternity ward, declaring the pregnancy to Social Security, finding a childcare option… And all the other administrative tasks related to pregnancy!
Preparing the maternity suitcase together
From the eighth month of pregnancy, it is advisable to prepare the maternity suitcase in case the baby decides to arrive earlier than expected.
It's the end of the pregnancy, the mother is tired and eager to meet the baby. The father can then take the initiative to start the maternity suitcase (we're telling you here what to put in this famous suitcase ). This will be a gesture 100% appreciated by the mother!
