As the Fourth of July approaches, i hope everyone in this nation knows and appreciates what the fourth stands for. I hope you are all spending it with loved ones and enjoying the freedom we all have.
I would like to give some tips and tricks for some mommas for the fourth! I unfortunately, was eight months pregnant when the Fourth rolled around last year. We were at a little local festival, and i had my baby sister with me letting her enjoy the games and rides. It was a struggle, haha. It was very hot and i was walking all over the place. But i had fun, and even though it wasn’t completely comfortable the whole time i’m so glad i went! So to all my pregnant mommas, don’t count yourself out! Go and have fun! But make sure you are prepared for the many things that will try to make you uncomfortable.
- Make sure you wear something comfortable and something that isn’t to hot. Because walking around super pregnant in the dead of the heat is no fun.
- Make sure you have comfortable shoes, and even if you don’t plan to be walking around being pregnant and having comfortable shoes on anyway is a must.
- Wear your hair up, or wear a hat! It’s so hot in July, and it’s better to be comfortable as possible.
- Stay hydrated, this one is very important. Being pregnant, you must drink plenty water. Even if you’re not outside. So make sure you and baby are cool and hydrated!
- Bring snacks or have money for food. You never wanna be stuck somewhere and pregnant hungry, it’s not good for anyone. Haha.
- Bring chairs or make sure you have somewhere to sit!
- And always be considerate of where you are, because the loud sounds of fireworks or music can damage babies ears even in the womb.
There’s probably plenty more tips or tricks, but these were just some i learned from my own experience. And either way it’s always good to be prepared when you go out. You can never be to prepared when pregnant or with babies. There’s nothing you won’t need, haha.
I hope everyone enjoys their 4th, and stays safe!
