Fun Ideas for Romanticizing the Summer While Pregnant

Summer is well under way and we know you must be feeling the heat. Still, nobody wants to sit inside all day and let the precious sunshine and warm weather go to waste. If this is you, you’re in the right place! We’ve got some ideas for you on how to romanticize the summer with your loved ones while pregnant that you just have to try!

1. Outdoor movie night

We know that visiting the cinema may be more ideal during the summer with the guaranteed AC and plethora of yummy snack options. But think of how much comfort and lasting memories will come from hosting your own movie night at home? 

Whether you have a backyard or a balcony, being able to sit underneath the stars — we’re sure they're shining up there somewhere for those in the city — is a great way to entertain a small, intimate crowd from the comfort of your own home!

So grab some drinks and sweet or savoury treats from your local convenience store and have yourself an endless movie marathon!

2. Water gun fight 

If you’re a mama that loves excitement and competition, we highly suggest a water gun fight! It’s an affordable and fun option for staying cool and energized during the summer that everyone will love. 

Plan a weekend at the park or carve out some time on a weekday and let the games begin! We’re sure you’ll be happily soaked and smiling by the end of it. 

3. Ice cream tasting flight

A cold and refreshing treat is a must during the summer. That’s why we recommend creating your own ice cream tasting flight! With your friends or partner, come up with a list of three to eight flavours that you’d like to try and buy small tubs to portion out. You can also try your hand at making your own icy treats with frozen fruit or non-dairy alternatives depending on your preferences and dietary needs!

Once your list is decided, assemble your flights and get to tasting! And remember, there’s no shame in going for seconds. 

4. Take a drive out to see the stars 

If you live in the city and are tired of the constant light pollution, we hope you’ll take some time out to see the stars! Just imagine: driving out during sunset to a secluded spot where you and your loved ones can enjoy a starry night in peace. No honking cars, artificial lights or distractions — just you, your chosen few and an array of twinkling stars to keep you company. 

If this doesn’t sound like a dream, then we don’t know what is. 

We hope you’ve gained some inspiration for how to relish the summer when you’re expecting! The fun doesn’t stop when you’re pregnant; in fact, it only signals the start, so get out there and enjoy!
