Some women believe it's important to get married before they have a baby, even if it means they'll have to do it while they're pregnant. It can be an extremely romantic experience as you'll be taking your vows while you feel your little bundle of joy inside of you. 

Although, not everyone feels the same and a lot of other moms-to-be like Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jessica Simpson have chosen to wait to tie the knot until they've already become a mom. If you wait until the baby comes, he or she will be part of your day and be in the photos but it also means you'll have to plan the wedding with a newborn in the house. Meaning... no sleep, feedings every few hours, you barely have time to take a shower, let alone plan one of the most important days of your life. 

There's obviously no right answer for anyone and you have to decide what's most important to you and how you envision your wedding day, then go for it. 

If you decide to get married while pregnant, or you're still thinking about it. You can take a look at our Maternity Wedding Gowns that will hopefully convince you that you can look good while you're taking the next step while your pregnant. 

TELL US: Would you/Did you get married while pregnant? Or would you/Did you wait until after having the baby to get married? Share the pros and cons of your choice.

During your pregnancy, you should take care of yourself because in doing so, you are taking care of your baby and this is going to be your number one priority in your life. 

Make sure to be kind to yourself and follow these top 5 pregnancy tips: 

1. Rest. 

Listen to your body, nap if it asks you to do so because you are growing a human being. It's not an easy thing to do if you have a busy schedule but atleast try to make your night time sleep as comfortable as possible. For this, avoid eating right before bed, have water in your night stand and get a pregnancy pillow.

2. Stay Active. 

It is very important to stay active during pregnancy because it will help you with your energy levels and self-esteem. Plus, it'll make it easier to get back into shape afterwards! You can consider Yoga, walking or even swimming. Start with short periods of exercise, and gradually increase the amount of time you are exercising.

3.  Prenatal vitamins. 

It's almost impossible to give your baby all the nutrients it needs (and you need) during the pregnancy. That's why you can rely on the vitamins for this!

4. Eat well. 

Pregnancy is the perfect time to overcome all the issues you have with food for your child and his/her growth. You want to teach them self-love and a healthy relationship with food, so it's good to start when they're just a baby!

5. Keep your self-esteem high.

The new curves aren't welcomed by all mommys-to-be. It can be difficult to adapt to your changing body but you have to remember that these changes are for your baby's benefit and that you'll be able to get back into shape afterwards. It's important to always keep in mind why these changes are happening to keep your self-esteem high. 

If you fear stretch marks and sagging skin, you can take action with different kinds of creams. 

Remember, the better you treat yourself, the better you will feel and the pregnancy will be much easier! 

At first we were a bit skeptical when we first received our first stock of products. However, after trying it, we are now full on converts and recommend them to any and all expectant moms. Why? Because these tummy wraps really do make you feel and look good.

The elastic bands are created as binders to compress your abdominal area after delivery. It may sound uncomfortable, but in fact, they come in a variety of lightweight, comfortable, and even organic materials. In Ladymaternity.com we have the 12 Belly Band and the 9 Belly band. These bands help with your posture, takes pressure off your legs and back, and helps reduce that uncomfortable uterine swelling and bloating so many moms experience post delivery. 

They can also be used after a c-section. Most come with adjustable Velcro closures that can help you get back into your pre-pregnancy shape. But you know what's the best part? You can wear them underneathe your clothes and no one but you will even know its there. 

We can't promise that it'll make your extra pounds melt away but it'll help tighten your tummy post pregnancy.

For those expecting mommy's, it's important to start watching your language and trying to avoid swearing. Kids are like sponges and they will easily copy what they hear! So here are some tips to train yourself to stop swearing: 

1. Enlist the help of your partner/a friend. Sharing this task will make the whole experience more tolerable and even enjoyable. Having someone to hold you accountable for your swearing slip-ups will force you to stick to your guns and kick this bad habit once and for all. 

2. Use a swear jar. This method has helped a lot of people and it involves taking a large jar and adding a dollar every time you say a swear word. 

- It's a punishment because you have to pay a jar every time you slip. 

- It's also a reward because once the jar is full, you can spend the money on whatever you like!

3. Identify your triggers and learn to avoid them. Everyone gets stressed out in certain situations and tends to swear more when they occur. For example, traffic or when people walk really slow. If you can identify these triggers, remove yourself from any of those situations which cause negative emotions and you'll be able to control yourself more. 

4. Ping your wrist with a rubber band. All you need is to wear a rubber band or a hair tie around your wrist and give it a firm snap every time you swear. This way, your brain will come to associate swearing with pain and will eventually cause you to mentally shy away from using bad words. 

So what way do you think is perfect for you? Is there any method you've used that we haven't mentioned? Comment below and let us know! 

For now, we'll leave you with a video of some kids saying the worst things their mommy's have said. Enjoy!
