Pregnancy changes a woman's body in different ways, from skin glow (caused by blood flow and increased sebum production) to weight gain, changes in skin and hair condition. However, all women want to look beautiful during pregnancy. Pregnancy is not a reason to give up your habits of looking good and taking care of yourself. There are many ways to highlight the changes taking place in your figure and feel beautiful at the same time at all stages of pregnancy.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

1. 1 Pay attention to your diet. You need to put on the right amount of weight in order for the fetus to develop normally. Pregnant women should get 2000-2500 calories daily, breaking this amount into 4 meals. Keeping track of your total calorie intake can help you avoid weight gain, which can lead to health problems. You should gain the weight you need to keep your baby healthy and healthy, but you should keep a close eye on your overall body weight to stay beautiful throughout all three trimesters of pregnancy.
   • You may need to lose weight if you gain more than you planned (or more than your doctor thinks is acceptable). It is important to be very careful when trying to lose weight during pregnancy to make sure the weight loss is not reflected in the baby.
2. 2 Exercise regularly. If you regularly played sports and felt attractive prior to pregnancy, there is no reason to stop exercising (although you will have to change your exercise routines). Feeling lean and fit will give you confidence and help your body recover faster after childbirth. Exercising during pregnancy can help maintain weight, improve mood, energize, and increase stamina and physical strength. All of these will help you feel beautiful during pregnancy.
   • You should set aside 30 minutes of exercise several times a week. Low-intensity activities are suitable for pregnant women: walking, aerobics, swimming. These activities will help you stay fit and feel beautiful.
   • Consult your doctor before starting any exercise routine during pregnancy. There are certain contraindications, such as high blood pressure, that your doctor may recommend that you avoid physical activity.
3. 3 Drink plenty of water. Dehydration is a significant health risk during pregnancy, and getting enough water will help you feel and look good. A person needs to drink 15 to 30 ml of water for every 450 grams of weight, and pregnant women need to drink even more. Water helps with the formation of the placenta and is good for the amniotic sac. In addition, a lack of water in the body negatively affects your appearance.Dehydration makes the skin look dull and lacks the glow that is usually found in pregnant women. In addition, dehydration can lead to lethargy and poor health.
   • Pregnant women are advised to drink 10 glasses (about 2.3 liters) of liquid daily. To avoid consuming the extra sugar found in fruit and sodas, try to drink plain water.

1. 1 Buy beautiful maternity clothes. Many shops and designers sell maternity clothes. Some women may not find it necessary to spend money on things that will only be worn for a few months, but you should wear clothes that will fit your changing figure and will make you feel comfortable and beautiful.
   • If you don't have enough money to buy maternity clothes, contact a friend who already has children and ask her to lend you some of her belongings. Plus, second-hand stores can be a great place to shop for inexpensive maternity items.
   • Try to find a few basic pieces that can be combined and worn in different ways in a variety of situations. Buy some comfortable jeans, some leggings, tops and cardigans, and you can come up with many combinations and wear them over and over again.
   • Choose solid colors that look more sophisticated and suitable for a variety of situations. Darker colors will make you look slimmer.
2. 2 Go to a spa or pregnancy massage. During pregnancy, pamper yourself with treatments that make you feel beautiful. Whether it's a manicure, pedicure or facial, sign up for a procedure (or several!) That will allow you to relax for a few hours and feel prettier. Alternatively, you can pamper yourself with a maternity massage. Studies have shown that massage during pregnancy can help reduce anxiety, relieve muscle and joint pain, and make labor easier.
   • Book a massage service only with a specialist who knows massage techniques for pregnant women.
   • Perhaps you should go to a doctor's consultation before signing up for a massage course. Be sure to talk to your doctor if there is any threat of miscarriage.
3. 3 Pamper yourself. Your body is going through many dramatic changes now, and besides, having a baby will change your life forever. Therefore, you can pamper yourself during pregnancy. If you want to look attractive, give yourself a generous gift and feel more beautiful than ever.
   • Get a trendy haircut at the new beauty salon. Get a new haircut that enhances your facial features (size and shape can also change during pregnancy). However, if you want to shade individual strands, wait until at least the second trimester, as chemical staining can negatively affect the health of the unborn child.
   • After all, buy the new earrings you've been looking at for a long time. Use pregnancy as an excuse to buy something nice. Let a new purchase associate you with a sense of external and internal beauty and remind you that you look great whenever you need such a reminder.

Part 3 of 3: Maintain Confidence in Your Beauty

1. 1 Take pride in your rounded tummy. It is important to remember how your body behaves during pregnancy. It grows by feeding and protecting the other person. There are reasons for all the changes that happen to you.
   • Try to communicate with other pregnant women. Try to surround yourself with women who are going through the same physical changes associated with having a baby, as this can boost your self-confidence and make you feel beautiful. It also helps you make new friends who will be your support as soon as you have your baby.
2. 2 Showcase your changed body. Besides glowing skin, your body will change in many other ways. For example, you may notice that the breasts have increased by 1-2 sizes and the waist has disappeared, as the tummy has grown. Also, your feet may swell or your fingernails may grow back quickly. Treat these changes positively: accept and emphasize them. By accepting the changes in your body, you will feel beautiful.
   • Show off your figure to make you feel beautiful. Choose one or more features of your figure that you are sure of attractiveness and focus on them. For example, wear shirts with short sleeves if you have nicely muscled arms, V-neck sweaters to accentuate your enlarged breasts, or long, flowy dresses that show off your rounded tummy.
   • If you find it difficult to think positively, remember that your pregnancy is not forever. If you felt beautiful before pregnancy, you will feel so after.
   • If you don't want to draw attention to your pregnancy, try not to accentuate your belly and wear loose, solid colors, preferring layering (for example, wear a loose denim jacket over a button-down shirt). You can also highlight other areas of your body, such as wearing a colored headband, a fancy scarf, or colorful tights.
3. 3 Don't try to look perfect. Don't try to look and live like a maternity magazine model. Instead, focus on just being healthy and happy. You don't know how your body will react to pregnancy until you actually get pregnant. Try to give up the idealized picture in your imagination and love your body as it is. A positive attitude will help you feel beautiful all the time.
   • Focus on the global. Your body is changing not because you have ceased to take care of yourself, but because you are helping the child to come into this world healthy and prepared.
