When we think of selfcare, it’s all about face masks, candles, and chocolate (don’t get us wrong - we love 'em). But real selflove? That goes a step further.
👉 It starts with discovering what you truly need - and making space for it.
If you’re pregnant or a new mom, that might sound like a luxury. But right now - while your body is working overtime and your days are packed with a hundred to-dos - it’s even more important to pause and think about what you need.
Time. Rest. Space.
Or a little treat - a small but original Valentine’s Day gift - that makes your life just a bit more comfortable.
Why asking for what you need can be hard
Let’s be honest: we rush from one thing to the next. Work, family, social obligations – all while growing or taking care of a tiny human.
Taking a moment to check in with yourself? That quickly gets pushed aside.
Sounds familiar?
You’re not alone. Especially with a baby on the way (or already in your arms), there’s always something that seems more urgent than your own needs.
But what if you just said what you need? No hints, no mom-guilt, just straightforward.
👉 Asking for help isn’t a weakness - it’s smart. And the more you do it, the easier it gets.
The best Valentine’s Day gift for moms (🎁 Selflove in practice)
1️⃣ Ask yourself: what do I need right now?
Not tomorrow, not later – right now.
An hour of rest? Scrolling your phone uninterrupted? A long shower? Or a bra that actually fits? Just grab it.
2️⃣ Start small and be specific
No vague hints or hopeful glances. Say exactly what you need.
👉 “Can you take over with the baby for a bit so I can shower in peace?”
The more specific your request, the easier it is for others to understand.
3️⃣ Take what you need – no permission required
Sometimes you don’t even have to ask.
📵 Put your phone on airplane mode.
☕ Pour yourself a cup of tea.
🛍️ Treat yourself to that gift you’ve been eyeing for weeks.
(Hint: the most comfortable bra you’ll ever need – grows with you, supports you, loves you back.)
4️⃣ Practice saying ‘no’
Selflove is also knowing when to say no. You don’t have to say yes to everything – especially if it drains your energy.
💌 Selflove = the best Valentine’s Day gift for a new mom
Selflove means putting yourself first. Taking a break, checking in with yourself, and being honest about what you need.
Whether you’re pregnant or a new mom - you deserve it, woman!
