The Ultimate Life Hacks For Mommies-To-Be

Having a baby can be one of the most beautiful experiences a mother can go through. And it can be brutal as well, with everything that needs to be dealt with, and taken care of—baby things, hospital visits, maternal and infant care, along with bills.

There's so much attention on the expectant mother that it's both a lovely and stressful time for the mom-to-be. Good thing there are plenty of ways that moms-to-be can do to reduce and even chase the stress away. Here are a few life hacks for expecting mommies:

Liquid Dispensing Hack

Tired of all the toothpaste remains you have to deal with on the sink on a daily basis? Here’s an easy liquid dispensing hack for you and your family. Get a soap pump, fill it with toothpaste and you have your brand new toothpaste dispenser. This way, expectant mommies can start the day off without the stress of cleaning the bathroom sink—again and again and again.

Having a baby can cost a lot of money so every bit of saving helps. One way for you to pull this off is to find ways to wear your jeans for as long as you can. Just put a rubber band around the button on your jeans then insert it through the buttonhole and then when the fit is comfortable enough, when it’s loose enough, then just slip the rubber band over the button again. Voila! It’s an instant fix that allows you to wear your old jeans so you won’t have to pay for too many new ones.

Of course, most of the time, your stomach will make it a bit difficult for you to reach out for things, especially those from the top shelf or cupboard. Or, make it hard for you to reach under the sink for the special pack of dishwashing liquid you kept there. No worries. Put that kitchen tong to good use. You'll find it easy to reach for most things, with this trusty sidekick by your side.

Breath Minds All the Way

Many pregnant mommies deal with nausea and barfing is an unfortunate result. So if the dizzies hit you whenever and wherever, just try to lie down until the spell passes. If that doesn't work and you do end up barfing, at least you'll have your handy breath mints to take the yuck off your breath.
