Hey there, glowing mama-to-be! First trimester's got you doing the two-step between nausea and nap time? We feel you! It’s a delicate dance, but just because you’ve got a baby on board doesn’t mean you’ve lost your mojo. In fact, this is the perfect time for you and your boo to rekindle the romance. So, drop that saltine, pay homage to the stretch pants, and let’s get saucy!
1. The Culinary Capade: Avoiding the 'Burnt Toast' Syndrome
Remember your last date night? You, bae, burnt spaghetti, and some lame reality TV show? Been there! Let’s take it up a notch. You don’t have to be Gordon Ramsay to impress your love. Cooking together can be hotter than the oven you’re using. Throw on some comfy maternity leggings and crank up the music. Create a killer playlist to boost those chef skills!
Just like garlic in a recipe, the key to romance is a little spice!
Pro Tip: Pick a simple dish neither of you have tried before. It’s a great way to ignite teamwork and share a laugh when things don’t go according to plan. Bonus point: chocolate fondue for dessert. Just don’t drop the strawberries!
2. The Adventure Du J
our: Pregnancy-Friendly Fun
Feeling like a human roly-poly isn’t the most glamorous, but hey, the adventure isn’t over. Go treasure hunting at a local market or hit the nearest planetarium for some dreamy stargazing. Remember, it’s about the experience, not the extravagant cost.
Want a guaranteed good time? Game night! Think Twister is out? Think again! Just imagine those new moves, and thank gravity for taking the wheel.
Life’s an adventure! Go conquer those five blocks to the nearest gelato shop like an epic romance novel!
3. Pampering Perfection: The Art of Doing ‘Nothing’
Growing a tiny human is hard work. Both of you could use some TLC. Spa night? Yes, please! Grab some face masks, essential oils, and enjoy an evening of steamy relaxation without the need for translation. Try a soothing foot rub – if nothing else, you’ll bond over ticklish toes.
A stay-at-home pampering sesh is also great post-bub. A bit postpartum and feeling fab? Slip into ultra-bendy Mum Tum leggings for perfect comfort while keeping the glam on.
A little pamper party at home is truly the pinnacle of woo-sah wooing!

5. Dance Party for Two: No Judging!
Have an impromptu dance party in your living room. Dancing is both fabulous for the soul and that little bean baking inside! Clear the furniture, put on your favorite tunes, and just dance like no one's watching… except maybe the neighbors, but who cares?
This shared hilarity turns mundane nights into memories worth talking about when you're both 85 and rocking in those mismatched armchairs.
Turn the living room floor into the hottest club in town—it's called Chez You Two!
Get Ready to Show Some Love!
Remember, these romantic ideas aren't just nifty ways to keep the spice alive; they're building blocks of a solid partnership. Preggy or post-baby, kindness, fun, and love make everything a bit more magical. Whether you're putting the preg in pregnant or the 'mum' in 'wondermum,' embrace every moment and every misstep. You’ve got this!
Still got that sauce making your heart race? Why not check out some sassy maternity or Mum Tum leggings to complete your glam look for the ultimate date night. A comfortable mum is a happy mum!
Cheers to love, giggles, and that tiny human high-fiving your insides at 2 AM. Here’s to keeping it glamorous and full of zest, just like your favorite Cosmo article. Now, go impress that S.O. of yours and rock that growing belly like the chic queen you are!
