Gone are the days when sitting on the couch and reading a book was considered enjoyable. You've got an active little bundle growing inside you that needs stimulation in every way possible, both mentally and physically! Plus, most pregnant women don't want to spend their pregnancy on the couch anyway. However, there are so many exciting things you can do during your pregnancy, whether they're indoors or outdoors. Here are a couple for you to try.

Go for a Photoshoot

You've probably been taking a lot of photos for your baby book. That's all well and good, but what about some professional photos? You can go to a studio for maternity photography which the professional can edit for quality. Don't forget to include that bump! You can do so many things here, such as wearing different color combinations (to represent the season) and having props.

Join a Prenatal Class

This is an interesting thing to do during pregnancy when you start to show just a little bit. Most women don't start showing until halfway through their pregnancies anyway unless they carry very little. 

Another reason why taking these prenatal classes can be fun is because there are usually pregnant women around you with different stories and backgrounds. So, if you're feeling bored, they might give you an enjoyable time.

Go on a Baby Shopping Spree

When you start to show, it's time to start thinking about what the baby will need before they arrive in the world. You can take this opportunity to go on a bit of a shopping spree (but not too big). 

There are so many brands that make maternity clothes nowadays, whether it's from department stores or specialty shops. And most of them offer discounts when you buy more than one item at a time. So what better excuse do you need?

Go on a Girl's Trip in the First Trimester

Many women can get nauseous during their first trimester, which is understandable if you think about it. So what do you do to make yourself feel better? First, take a trip with your friends! Go on a short road trip where you visit different places and go shopping. 

You can even stop at certain hiking trails (with the approval of your doctor), lie down in the grass, and take photos of yourself. Remember to keep up with taking those prenatal vitamins and drinking lots of liquids.

Besides, a trip in your first trimester means more fun for you before you’re too occupied with the baby to have as much fun. It’s also a time to bond with your loved ones before the life-changing moment of being a parent arrives, so don’t take it for granted.

Conclusion

You can do these fun activities for pregnant women throughout your pregnancy, depending on what you're comfortable with and how much time you have. They're all inexpensive and will end up providing hours of entertainment for both you and your unborn baby. Who knows, maybe one day you can show them to your kids when they’re expecting.
