Your first birthday as a mum - plans?!
Show your support
What do you like to do? I have always adjusted what I like to do so that my kids can be apart of it. Instead of going out for dinner with my husband, we all went out for lunch. Instead of going to the cinema, we watched a family movie with lots of popcorn and candy at home. My birthday is in September and this year we planned to be on holiday for the day.
My birthday was 10 days after my baby girl was born, I did nothing, just had cake 🤣
A lovely special lunch could be great with baby along for the ride. Celebrate your new way of doing things 😊
My first mum birthday was my last day of maternity leave 😢 I took my little girl to the zoo, was a lovely day out ❤️ she was 9 months and she loved looking at the animals
My eldest was born 4 days after my birthday, which is a week before Christmas, so she was almost a year old for my first birthday as a mum. But we went to a Christmassy event at a local farm/cafe that had a Christmas trail and you could meet Santa at the end. It was quite sweet but my daughter was terrified of Santa! 😂 I’m guessing your birthday is fairly soon, so one of the light events is lovely with babies 🥰
My fiance took me out for dinner to Ivy, obviously with baby and she cried the whole time pretty much 😂😭
My birthday is at the beginning of December and we are going to a Christmas light trail and then home for a takeaway afterwards. My husband’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago and we went to the zoo, then had a takeout. We would have usually gone out for dinner and cocktails or away for a few nights but decided to do something that is predominantly for LO but we will enjoy too.
Mine was 1 week after I had a baby..My partner cooked a nice dinner, bought me flowers and a cake and the next day sent me for a facial It was so nice and needed after a sleepless week😁🙏🥰
Will deffo take some of these suggestions on board, thanks ladies 🤗 I'm also debating (not everyones cuppa tea I know but I heard someone do this) on one of the days of my birthday weekend possibly either checking into either a spa hotel/regular hotel and either getting my partner to book me some treatments or if all booked up by now, literally just having one night to myself to watch tv, order room service and get a good night's sleep. Would never ever usually do anything like that but I am absolutely pooped and it's appealing a little atm.
If you can have some time for yourself why not! If EBF I feel it might be more stressful than relaxing, but if you are able to then why not have some time to chill and just breathe! You could just have a really lovely long interrupted sleep, bliss!
Honestly I just ordered a fat takeaway, watched some films with my partner and went to bed 😭 my birthday is mid august and LG was born beginning of July so she was only just over 2 months, I’m an exclusive pumper too so planning was hard. My partner took some time with baby by themselves and I ran a bath, had some me time too but we couldn’t do a lot! I think it’s hard when the babies are young because you can’t do a whole lot, but genuinely just having some peace was lovely!
