The best thing about being pregnant the second time around is that I feel more able to prepare. This time I am trying to make my recovery and the first 2 weeks as comfortable as possible. As a new mum you totally forget about yourself in those first couple of weeks and my goal is to not do that! I know, I sound crazy - a one year old, a new born and time to think about yourself, I am dreaming. Time might not be something I will be able to find to spoil myself with so instead I am indulging in a few luxuries to help make my recovery easier.
1. Body Salt Scrub. I can not tell you how much I love salt scrubs. If you have never tried one please go buy one right now and get straight into the shower. So relaxing and you feel amazing after.
This is my favourite one.
2. Body Lotion. Specifically something with lavender scent to help induce relaxation.
3. PJs. I love wearing a brand new pair of PJs for the first time.
4. New Bed Sheets. I am going to be honest with you, I will be buying 1000TC because if I have just laboured and given birth I deserve every one of those threads.
And that is my spoil yourself in an attempt to make you forget how much sleep you are not getting so you can feel slightly like a normal person list.
What is on your post pregnancy essential list? I would love suggestions, this list needs additions.
I've been dying to try some Lush products, but every time I go I can never decide what I want to get. I'm going to have to try these ones!
ReplyDeleteSeriously the Salt Scrub is AMAZING. You will not regret it.
