Reviving Romance: Tips for Keeping the Spark Alive During Life's New Chapters
Congratulations! If you're reading this, I assume you're in the 1st trimester. That magical time when your body is doing all sorts of Cirque du Soleil-level acrobatics on the inside, while you try to keep the outside looking somewhat composed. Let's face it, hormones are the new headliner in this circus, and they don't care about your nightly plans or your need to feel like an irresistible super being. But worry not, dear reader! I’m here to make sure your love life doesn’t end up being as predictable as a nature documentary. Oh yes, we're going to keep the sizzle alive!
Before Netflix and Chill was Literal: How to Stay Romantic While Tired
By now, you've crafted a symbiotic relationship with your couch akin to a David Attenborough voiceover. "Watch as the pregnant human lounges, conserving energy while Netflix buffers another episode of reality TV..." But let’s shake things up a bit!
“Romantic equals effort, even if that effort is swapping the remote for some good old-fashioned eye contact.”
Start by scheduling at-home date nights. It doesn’t need to be fancy. A simple dinner that doesn’t include pickles and ice cream followed by a foot rub sounds just about perfect. Put those PJ's on but make them cute! Set a fancy table, dim the lights, and maybe—even if just for kicks—turn off the TV. Shock the system!

“When your legs scream comfort, but your heart says romance, cue in the maternity leggings!”
The elasticity of these leggings could probably hold a relationship together. They aren't just clothing—they're an experience! Put them on, and I promise you’ll feel more ready than ever to take on romance, or at the very least the commute from sofa to fridge.
Whisper Sweet Nothings, Even if They're Just Grocery Lists
Pillow talk doesn't have to be reminiscent of a Sex and the City episode—real life isn't scripted, and it certainly isn't filmed with soft lighting and a dozen roses in the background. However, keeping the lines of communication open is key. Share your dreams, your fears, and yes, your weird cravings. Fun fact: Nothing says 'I love you' quite like, "I picked up extra gherkins for you today."

Love Isn’t a To-Do List, but It Helps to Plan
Organization might not scream romance, but it surprisingly makes for a smoother ride on the love train! Make a habit of sharing scheduler insights. Aligning your plans helps keep alive not only the passion but the feeling that you two are a rock-solid unit against the world—or at least against the demands of an impending baby.
Record small goals together. Like, "plan a no-TV night" or "re-create a scene from our favorite movie." These aren’t challenges—they're opportunities to put some impromptu sizzle back into your love life.

“When the credits roll, may the adventures in romance continue, even post-bump!”
And that’s a wrap, darling! Here’s to revving the romance like the absolute love guru you are 🌟! Remember, warm cuddles, soft whispers and those amazing leggings are the way forward.
