What I Did During Maternity Leave👶🏻

\ What are you planning to do during maternity leave? 👀 / [@ machan _ maternity 01] ◀ ︎ Follow here

June 2026.

I'm expecting my second baby girl.

It's Machan

This time before giving birth is

You can spend it without worrying about anything

Last chance 🥰

Life with a baby is happy.

Can you drink milk properly?

"Are you breathing?"

There are more things to worry about

Take care of yourself 🥺💦

In this light time

Do a lot of things you like 🫶🏼

When I was pregnant, Yuuchan

Do what I introduced,

before the baby was born.

did you enjoy your last time with dad 🤍

Because I have an older child now,

While leaving it with my parents

Put together what you want to do

We both had fun 🥰

For example, going to the movies,

In a nice shop

I went to the morning 🥂✨

Life after the baby is born

Of course I love you, but...

There is only now before that,

Enjoy your pregnant time to the fullest

Take good care of your newborn ☺️✊🏼

If you are worried about pregnancy or postpartum

If you have any questions, feel free to ask 🤍

... Read more産休中の過ごし方は、これから始まる育児生活を円滑にする準備期間としてとても重要です。私も妊娠後期は、体調と相談しながら無理なくリラックスする時間を大切にしました。例えば、紫外線対策は妊娠中の肌が敏感になるため、日焼け止めや帽子、日傘の使用でしっかりケアしました。妊娠線対策もお腹だけでなくお尻や二の腕まで念入りに保湿を続けたことで、自信を持てる肌をキープできました。 また、映画館デートやお気に入りのカフェでのモーニングなど、夫婦2人の時間を楽しむことも心身のリフレッシュにおすすめです。私はパートナーと過ごすことで不安も和らぎ、産後の生活への前向きな気持ちが生まれました。美容室も産後すぐの訪問が難しいため、タイミングを見て快適に過ごせるようにお願いしました。 さらに、マタニティフォトを撮ることで、今しかない妊婦の姿を記念に残せたのは、我が家にとって宝物になっています。何年か経ってから見返すと、我が子との絆をより深く感じられると思います。 一番大切なのは、身軽なこの時期を利用して、やりたいことを無理なく詰め込むこと。産後の慌ただしさを思うと今だけの貴重な時間を満喫し、心身の準備を整えておくことが、後悔のないマタニティライフにつながると実感しています。妊娠中や産後の不安も、信頼できる情報や経験者の声を参考にしながら解消していきましょう。
