Rediscovering Romance: Keeping the Spark Alive During Big Life Changes

Rediscovering Romance or How to Keep Your Relationship Hotter Than Your Morning Coffee!

Hey, you there! Yes, you—glowing goddess in her third trimester, struggling to see her toes, and contemplating if maternity tights count as formal wear. Spoiler alert: they totally do. Welcome to the chaotic yet hilarious realm you're about to fully immerse in as you’re finish lining this pregnancy journey. Hold on to your hospital bag; we're about to get real about how to maintain or probably find that romantic spark amidst more significant life changes than your current favorite snack combo.

So, You've Entered the Galaxy of Belly and Belly Laughs!

The third trimester is your VIP pass to the arena of "Am I carrying twin elephants?" and "When did my ankles become cankles?" Heaven knows, while your body is busy playing host to the most incredible miracle, your mind might be wandering back to those sizzling date nights sans Braxton Hicks or 3 a.m. bathroom escapades.

Spoiler: Your Partner Thinks You're Sexy... Go With It!

Suddenly, the idea of romance feels like a distant galaxy, replaced by nursery themes and societal advice that often sounds like it's from your grandma and the '50s. But, gorgeous, here's your daily affirmation: it's more than okay to want to rekindle the sparks that fly far beyond the realms of Netflix's suggestions. The goal here? To make sure your relationship grows as you prepare to meet your new family member, not to mention surviving on the most sleep you'll NOT be getting. And yes, you've still got it!

Turning Tender Moments into the New "Hot"

Let's dream up this scenario: You, a candlelit dinner, holding hands while avoiding spilled food on your ever-growing belly like Olympic pros. How did you even get here? Let's make this real world-friendly. You know—terms you can manage without sitting down (and eventually needing assistance to get up).

First, nudge your partner before the 8t

h glass of kale smoothie-induced pee break and say, "How about a luscious bath together?" Of course, 'luscious' is debatable when you need an actual crane to lift you out, but still—intimacy is not out the window. Just maybe avoid any sudden splashing motions.

No, You Don't Have to Sacrifice Rom-Com Moments for Reality

Rediscover your relationship dynamics by laughing together. There's humor in awkward scenarios, like you trying to shimmy into new maternity leggings (Embrace Emamaco's heavenly soft maternity leggings—flexible and fabulous). Even if it ends with giggling fits over Amazon cart reminders, enjoy each quirky moment. These might be your "remember when" anecdotes during future anecdotes over mushy pea puree splatter battles.

The Art of Subtle Romance in a Home That Now Smells Like the Pastry You Don't Remember Baking

Okay, casanova momma, remember the subtlety of romance? Small, yet significant gestures. Binge-watch your fave rom-com, cuddle in a sea of pillows. They're versatile, doubling as both neck support and crumb catchers.

Hugs, Kisses, and Chocolate Ice Cream... This Is a Presidents' Choice Night!

Find new ways to say "I love you," whether it's a note snuck into your love's work bag or just a heartfelt compliment during breastfeeding classes. After all, love languages are adaptable, like your ever-expanding wardrobe. (Post-pregnancy, you're eyeing Mum Tum leggings? Yes? Own it!)

Sex Appeal: More Beauty Wash, Less Birthing Class

Do not underestimate the allure of refreshing that 'do, experimenting with new lipstick shades, or even draping oneself in a soft robe that feels like a gentle 'you got this.' Glamour is subjective, darling; it's all in the attitude.

Think bold yet comfortable. And speaking of which, remember to sprinkle in flirtation that's unfiltered by any pregnancy manual. Tease your partner during

mundane tasks, remind them of the after-hours glow-time plans, and do it while sporting a smirk of mischievous delight. You want them to see both the playfulness and depth in your connection, aside from the baby monitors and swell schedules.

Countdown to Holding Your Baby: Don't Forget to Hold Each Other

As you glide or maybe waddle through this rollercoaster of change, remember to nurture the one journeying alongside you. The rites of passage go beyond baby showers and Lamaze classes. Journey within each other as well.

When Baby Arrives, and You Feel the "Tsunami" of Change, Embrace It—One Date Night at a Time

Change can be daunting, yes, but it also paves the way for innovation in historic proportions. Reflect love through spontaneous date nights—you could even call 'em "nap date nights" (totally legit). Ensuring you've kept space aligned for you both is invaluable. Ultimate relationship hacks? They get formed here.

Your romance doesn't necessarily need evenings under the stars. Even a shared silent lunch at 3 p.m. on your day's to-do list can dazzle. Your #relationshipgoals just switched to "survival of the wittiest."

Pregnant or post-partum, you deserve that sense of glam comfort with confidence boosts. Switch up your pregnancy wear with Emamaco's comforting maternity or Mum Tum leggings. Because let's face it, rocket science only slightly surpasses rocket-blasting nap-time coordination.

Remember, iconic mama: navigating love, life, and laughter as you prepare to welcome a mini-comedian to this stage of life is a journey. Take in these life-altering weeks with boldness, a partnered heart, and an immeasurable charm that is so very you!

If Mom-brand romance becomes tipsy toddler relationships, you're doing it right. Hold those reins with grace, humor, and a wardrobe that preferably adjusts itself.

Let's face it, dancing barefoot through so much chaos counts as one heck of a victory lap. Your existing superpower? Making love bloom in laughter, and literally anything in between.

Now, go knock 'em out with your glow, composure, and innate knack for rocking both nursery sing-alongs and evenings with the love of your life. Whether it's working on outstanding tight-leggings coordination or adding dramatic pauses to your storytelling, you've got this.
