Spark the Flame: Intimate Ways to Keep Romance Alive in Expectant Times


Prepare for Love's Labor with Less Pushing: Hilarious Tips to Kindling Romance While Awaiting the Stork's Arrival! Stroll into this Guide Where Expectant Parents Rekindle the Spark Between Diaper Drills and Cravings!

Ah, the third trimester—where you're so close yet so far from sleeping through the night again! While your feet have disappeared under a bump the size of a small planet and strangers feel strangely entitled to touch said bump, romance might not be top of your priority list. But hey, you're not all about diaper drills and bizarre cravings, are you? Reconnect with your partner and make these last few weeks before baby as steamy—and fun—as possible.

Forget "Netflix and Chill"—It's Time for "Netflix and Nest!"

You might be stuck on the couch, living in maternity wear (comfort over fashion, always), but that doesn't mean movie night can't be just as romantic as it was pre-pregnancy. Pick a classic you both love, throw some dim lights and fairy lights into the mix, and wrap up under a blanket with some popcorn. Sure, you'll fall asleep in the first 20 minutes, but it's the thought—and snuggle—that counts!

HOT TIP: Swap out those saggy pajamas for elegant maternity leggings and a chic top to surprise your partner. Feeling fabulous could lead to other "cozy" activities. If you're still pre-baby,

Just because your balance is less-than-perfect doesn't mean you can’t sway to your favorite tunes! Push the coffee table aside—carefully—and dance like it's your first wedding dance again, even if it now involves a baby bump doing the Macarena. Keep it spicey, keep it fun, and before you know it, those late nights baby-feeding might look a bit less daunting.

BOOM: No one said dirty dancing wasn’t allowed. Let the salsa fumes fly!

Spicing things up is not only a laugh riot, but it’s important for maintaining intimacy. Try whispered pillow talk, a cheeky foot rub (note: wash those feet first!), or a scandalous game of "two truths and a lie" over mocktails. Seriously, when was the last time you played a game as adults? Probably more challenging now with baby brain in full gear!

Spoil Your Senses with a Sinful Spa Night

Set up an in-home spa night, complete with a warm oil massage, skin masks, and candles that mask any takeout-fried aromas. Not only does this put you in a relaxed mood, but it also gives you those precious few minutes where you're the only thing your partner is focused on. You can throw in some pregnancy-safe bath bombs for a luxurious touch—just make sure you both avoid getting stuck in a water-log

BAM: Indulge yourself, because you DESERVE it. Who even needs a manual for relaxation?

Remember your favorite pre-bump date night spots? No one said you can't enjoy those at home! Cook together (or at least order in), splash on a bit of cologne or perfume, and act like you're seeing each other for the first time. Who would have thought? Romance is just an apron and a pretend-chef hat away!

Forecasting Future Fun—Dreamy Daydreams!

While your little gymnast keeps stretch-testing their in-utero living space, daydream about post-baby adventures. Envision those family vacations, hilarious parenting mishaps, and yes—even rainy days spent cuddling in your perfect cocoon. Visualizing the future can be an incredible bonding experience—and a good reminder that you’re still more than just “mum and dad.”

QUICK FACT: Daydreaming together elevates your oxytocin—it’s like a mini love booster!


Pregnancy isn’t just about baby prep; it’s about YOU TOO. Havalotion hauling, foot swelling, and outfit failings aside, this trimester should mean YOU get your groove back, bebe! Whether you're going for the glamorous Netflix evening or proving your Dirty Dancing skills haven't dulled, reignite that fire because it’s a relief from the constant countdown.

Oh, my dear expectant vixens and dashing partners, don’t let the lullaby stage cramp your style. Of course, sneak in a wink, a laugh, an unexpected blowout! After all, the only labor of love you need right now is rekindling your spark. if you're post-bump already, slip into those trusty Mum Tum leggings—they’ll hug you better than any ex you regret. So go on, take these joyful moments and turn them into lasting memories before the grand finale of parenthood takes center stage!

Stay cheeky, stay fabulous, because honey, you're procreating!
