Reviving Romance: How to Keep the Sparks Flying While Awaiting Your Little One
Ah, the third trimester! That magical time when you realize you're not just carrying a child, but also doing an excellent impression of a beached whale. You're waddling like a penguin, emotions are swinging like a jazz club's double bass, and suddenly, bending down to tie your shoes is akin to an Olympic sport. But hey, it’s not all hemorrhoids and heartburn; there's still plenty of room for romance!
Let’s Talk About the Elephant in the Room… No, Not You!
Yes, we get it. It might feel like your sexiness has taken a nine-month sabbatical, but you haven't lost it, honey, it's just hiding under the layers of baby prep and belly lotion. Your partner sees you glow in ways that may make you doubt the need for your bathroom's dimmer lights. How do you rekindle that burning flame?
Easy. Pepper those days with cheekiness, sauciness, and a sprinkle of playful love. Here's how to turn those yawns into yawns of another kind (wink, wink).
1. Accessorize Your Assets
Who said maternity wear couldn’t be sexy? We suggest a break from the classic "potato sack" look with some chic maternity leggings. Think about it—comfort where you need it most, and a silhouette that says, "Yes, I'm pregnant and still fabulous!"<
“Embrace the journey, hug the curves!”
Speaking of fabulous, check out these leggings that embrace that beautiful bump whether you're expecting or already cuddling your bundle of joy. Perfect for both pregnancy and the "I just delivered a baby, but I’m still the queen" phase.
2. Flirting, Reimagined
Remember those days when you’d flirt over cleverly crafted text messages? Well, bring it back! Pregnancy is no reason to lose that art. Drop him a text that hints at dessert before dinner or a dance in the living room. Your bump is just one more reason for him to fall in love with you again.
“From pregnancy cravings to love cravings!”
3. Movie Night Makeover
Nix the Netflix reruns and pick a movie with a real romance factor. Think old 90’s RomComs, where grand gestures and awkward kisses are norm. Get the popcorn and blankets. Let your partner know that while baby waits, the love story continues.
Here's an idea, make it interactive—predict the cheesy lines, then reenact them as the credits roll. Laughter and eye-rolls are guaranteed. Plus, what’s funnier than gasping for air during a recited Shakespearean sonnet because someone’s sitting on your bladder?

4. Sensual Sessions Sans Expect...ations
Remember, it’s not always about sizzle and spark. Sometimes it's about those deeper connections, the knowing giggles and shared whispers. Consider a night of massage club (bonus: those prenatal backaches get a reprieve!). Set up a soft corner with plush pillows, aromatic candles, and let the touch do the talking.
“Because when hands speak, mouths aren’t far behind.”
5. Babymoon Hoedown
Don’t disregard the magic of a short getaway if you can swing it. A weekend babymoon can do wonders, even if your itinerary is a lazy brunch and a bed supposed to cater for royalty. It's all about disconnecting from the world and finding solace in each other’s presence.
“Pina coladas and mocktails—in paradise!”
Saucy Sign-Off
So, dear reader ready to pop, keep in mind that your belly isn’t the barrier to love—it’s an invitation. The laughs might be loud, the breaths a tad deeper with every waddle, but the love story is only just beginning. Revel in it. Romance thrives wherever you decide to nurture it.
Looking to add a bit of 'oomph' even when the baby pooch won’t budge? Dive into Emama Co and start your journey in a pair of leggings designed to help you hug that 'mum tum' in style.
Now, go on, bring that screen to a close and let your partner know you’re ready for romance, sans the sexy kilts. Until next time, motherhood maven, shine bright!
