8 Ways to Strengthen Your Friendships Before Your Life Changes Forever

Oh, the glorious third trimester! That golden period where you're totally over the mornings (and afternoons, and evenings) sickness and you're not quite yet an emotional human land whale. While people keep asking you if you’re "ready," we're here to help you prepare for something equally important but less discussed: your friendships! Yup, it's time to lock in those bonds before you’re strapped into the rollercoaster of cheese tastings, diaper unraveling, and tax deductions.

1. Plan a “Baby Bucket List” with Friends

Remember when you had a social life that extended beyond bathroom trips in the middle of the night? It's time to bring that back, temporarily, with a pre-baby bucket list! Plan activities you’ve always wanted to do but never got around to. We're talking about cheese tasting—not baby ones—and wine tours (sip wisely) because soon you might convert any liquid tasting into a 401(k) conversation.

2. Weekly Catch-Ups with a Twist

Whether you’re sipping on chamomile or sneaking in mocktails, dedicate a day each week for friend catch-ups with a twist. Have a theme—80s hair, karaoke nights, or dress as your favorite fruit. Trust me, there’s nothing like seeing your best friend dressed as a ba

nana to understand why you love them. “When Life Gives You Lemons, Pretend to Be One!”

3. The “Call Instead of Text” Challenge

Your thumbs may be pros at emojis, but hearing your friend's voice adds that magical sautéed flavor text can never capture. Take on the challenge and call your friends instead of texting them. It's like telepathy, but with phone bills.

4. Schedule a Pamper Day (Because You Deserve It!)

Before your life turns into a whirlwind of wet wipes and bottles, a pamper day is non-negotiable. Invite your friends, order in some face masks that don’t make you look like a soggy raccoon, and channel your inner diva. Trust in the gospel: shared face mask selfies are stronger than any NDA.

5. Exercise Together

Tailor your friendship routine to your new lifestyle with some prenatal yoga or light exercise together. You’re basically sculpting future you, who will unironically prioritize walks over nachos (who are we kidding, it’s a both situation).
