Things to Do When You are Overdue
The last few weeks of pregnancy seem to drag on for many mothers. It is hard to wait for the baby when that is the one thing you are hoping for, and is made even worse when your due date comes and goes and no baby arrives. Here are a few activities you can do to keep yourself busy while you wait for baby to finally arrive:
1. Clean your home. The nesting instinct may already have set in. Usually, if that is the case, cleaning your home will not only make you feel happier, but it will be a fun activity for you to help keep your mind off your baby that has not decided to come yet.
2. Go baby shopping. Get out of the house and buy something fun for the baby. A good choice is to buy a baby sling or baby carrier. Baby slings are a good choice to have before the baby comes because you will be able to use them when the baby is a newborn. Baby slings are very convenient too when you have another child at home. Your hands will be full taking care of two or more children, and a baby sling can be help keep your hands free while you get meals ready or get children out the door for school.
3. Take the opportunity to go out with your husband. Spend some quality time with him while you have the chance. Things get pretty exhausting and busy once the baby arrives, so spending quality time with your husband, and children if you already have some, is a good idea.
4. Take time to pamper yourself. Your new baby is going to be demanding a lot from you, especially in the first few months of his life. Go to a salon and get your nails and hair done. Many day spas offer great prenatal massages too.
5. Write down your feelings. Waiting for your baby to arrive is one emotional journey. Keep a journal about your pregnancy and share how you spent your last days before becoming a mother.
6. Read a good book. Great books are a great way to keep your mind off of dealing with the “waiting” game that comes the last few weeks of pregnancy. Books offer you hours of entertainment and distraction, rather than a good movie. Ask friends or family members to recommend good books that you might enjoy to read.
7. Exercise. Exercise is good for the baby and good for you. It also releases natural endorphins in your body, which can help with the late-pregnancy moodiness.
