Have a relaxing bath
I find it very relaxing and indulgent to lie in a bath for half an hour and close my eyes. Fill the bath. Make it as warm as you feel comfortable in. Add some bubbles if you like. Put in a few drops of your favorite essential oils. If you’re pregnant, you may need to check first with an Aromatherapist, as there are some oils that you shouldn’t use during relaxing bath pregnancy. In the first trimester, you shouldn’t be adding any essential oils at all as they may increase the likelihood of miscarriage!
An alternative is to sprinkle a handful of rose petals into the water. This makes you feel like a princess as it is very luxurious! You will then be able to indulge in the scent of the rose petals.
Take the phone off the hook, dim the lights or light some candles, put on your favorite relaxing music and settle into the bath. Take at least 30 minutes to drift off into a state of total relaxation, or use this time to really connect with your baby if you are pregnant.
