Me-time
When you have a baby it can be hard to find 'me-time', so take some now. Whatever you enjoy, a manicure, a day at the spa, or reading a trashy novel. Anything that makes you happy and relaxed is good for you when you are trying to conceive.

Sauna
Good for you if you are attending a gym to prepare your body for pregnancy! Remember that you can only enjoy your relaxing post-workout sauna before you start trying to conceive. Pregnant ladies have to stay out in case they overheat and faint.

Aromatherapy
Many women find that aromatherapy helps them to feel calmer and healthier. Mention to your aromatherapist if you are hoping to become pregnant as some essential oils shouldn't be used during the first trimester and others not at all during pregnancy.

Banned foods
There are a few foods that you must avoid when you are with child. If you really love soft boiled eggs, or think you will miss the occasional rare steak, make sure you have one before you stop using contraceptives.

Romance
Ok, so sex is necessary to get pregnant, but you might not feel up to much more than a cuddle during the last few weeks of pregnancy, so make the most of your intimate time now with your partner and enjoy yourselves!

Sports
If you love sports, getting pregnant needn't mean that you have to give it up. Some activities are unsafe, such as contact sports or anything where there's a risk of falling. So, for example, if you are a keen climber, maybe try a few gentler activities now to find one you like.

Girls night out
Stay out all night with your girlfriends without having to organise a babysitter. Go dancing, have a flirt and a giggle. A wakeful baby might keep you up until dawn in the future which probably won't be quite as much fun (but at least there will be no hangover).

Weekend away
Flying isn't recommended towards the end of pregnancy, and holidays require a lot more thought and luggage once you have a baby. Now may be your last chance to go away on a complete whim, are there any good deals out there?

Dress up
If things go to plan, in less than a year you could be a mum! Picture it - it's all great, but you are in your pajamas at noon with baby sick on your shoulder. We think that now is the time to glam up! Do your face, put your hair up, and dig out your best dress!

Waxing
Waxing is not unsafe if you are expecting a baby, however when you are pregnant your skin becomes more sensitive. Many women report that waxing is more painful than usual. Ouch!
