Keeping the Spark Alive: Romantic Ideas for Expectant Moms
You’ve hit the third trimester—congratulations! You’re 90% human, 10% melon-shaped miracle factory. At this point, bending over is a Herculean task, and seeing your own feet feels like a distant memory. But guess what? Romance isn't dead! It’s just reclining with a tub of ice cream, waiting for a foot rub.
Pregnant Pause? How to Romance Your Baby Bump Without Breaking a Sweat - or a Water!
Let’s be real; romance takes a different spin when you’re lugging around a small planet. Date nights in stuffy restaurants are out; Netflix marathons and foot massages on the couch are in. But fear not! Being pregnant means rethinking romance, not retiring it. Let’s turn those swollen feet into a night on the glam!
Remember: You’re not just carrying a baby; you’re carrying the hottest accessory of the season.
1. The Great Outdoors: Backyard Edition
Transform your backyard into Chez Vous (that’s French for Your House). Imagine: fairy lights, your favorite tunes, and the gentle buzz of mosquitoes in the distance. Pretend you've booked the hippest pop-up restaurant in town, complete with seasonal cravings. Yes, pickles and ice cream count as appetizers.
Pro tip: Have your partner handle the heavy lifting. You’re busy pro
2. The Spa Night IN
Cancel your spa appointment and bring the zen home. This is not just any foot rub; think of it as a full-blown siren song of seduction. Break out the candles and lotions—finding one that doesn’t send you sprinting to the bathroom with nausea is imperative. Spoiler: lavender works wonders.
If your partner is feeling bold, scalp massages could be on the table, too. But be wary of introducing oils that make you smell like you bathed in cooking grease!
A cheeky note: A couples massage is just foreplay for nursery decorating.
3. Movie Night with a Twist
Movies are a classic go-to. Pick your flicks wisely! Comedies that make you giggle or old-school romances that make you swoon. Don’t forget a mountain of pillows for optimum support and, naturally, pregnancy-approved snacks. Allocate a bathroom break every 20 minutes.
For added spice, theme your movie night around naughty but nice concepts. Hugh Grant could be your new best friend, leading you into a world of rom-coms that won't fail to lift those hormone-driven spirits.

4. Cook Up Romance
Let’s leverage the cravings. Cook up a feast without stepping into a Michelin star sweat fest. Better yet, make it a culinary duo activity. A chef’s hat could easily disguise your baby bun, and whilst your partner sautés, you steer clear of handling food-gone-awry scenarios. Cravings as unexpected as they are culinary? Make it an experience!
Insider wisdom: Food in the lap is due to your growing front lap, not a lack of finesse.
5. Write Love Notes
Revive the art of composition in your third trimester. Love notes turn everyday routine into warm, loving gestures. Scrabble scores can double as love declarations when you spell out "LOVE YOU" with expired coupons.
Jot down quirky messages for your partner; they can leave cute notes around the house. Turn the everyday mundane into messages worth a thousand words and a gazillion kisses.
Oh, Baby! The Future of Romance
As you await your bundle of joy, keep in mind that this slight pregnancy intermission is merely a new setting in the romance playbook. Inflate the air mattress of love as hormones inflate your bosoms. Remember, the most exhilarating love story of all is yet to come, with you and your precious bundle as the stars.
So slip into those comfy maternity leggings from EmamaCo, bask in the glow of your third trimester, and keep the romance alive one cheeky smile at a time.
Glam goodbye: Here’s to love as vast as your cravings, and passion as endless as midnight bathroom trips. 😘💖
