8 things to do now that you’re on maternity leave before bub arrives
Most pregnant ladies finish up work a few weeks before starting maternity leave. This pocket of time between having no job stress and awaiting your bundle of love to arrive is blissful and exciting.
Here’s how I think every first time-mum-to-be should spend it, before a little someone arrives and rocks your whole world – in the best possible way!
2. Get a hair cut
I remember my hairdresser commenting on how greasy and unkept my mane was six months after having a baby. I hadn’t taken my mum-bun out much and to be honest. I’d stopped looking after it as I had something far more important consuming my attention. I needed hair SOS that day and had a big chop! Now is the time to make an appointment with your hairdresser because it may be a while before you get back into that seat (and have to arrange a babysitter to do so). If you do get a cut, make sure your hairdresser doesn’t chop too much off – you’ll still want to tie it back in a pony tail, especially if breastfeeding.
