Autumn is a wonderful time to be pregnant. The weather is starting to cool down and is a welcome relief from the hot summer days.
With the change of season comes a change in our behavior. We generally participate in different activity and find ourselves in door more.
We think autumn is a great time of the year and here’s why.
1. Shopping Spree
Autumn is a perfect excuse to go on a shopping spree. Dress using layers. Use interesting textures, colours and prints to spice up your wardrobe.
Layers are perfect for this time of year as they can be removed easily with the change in weather.
2. Get active
With the change of season come plenty of falling leaves. Raking leaves is a wonderful low impact exercise that will keep you warm and get your heart rate pumping. It is ideal for pregnancy as it is gentle on your joints and low impact.
