Spring into Wellness — 6 Refreshing Activities for Expecting Moms

Posted May 14, 2025

Spring is the perfect reminder that growth, renewal, and beauty are all part of your journey—especially while growing new life.

As the flowers bloom and days get longer, it’s a great time to reconnect with your body and nature. 

Here are six fun, low-stress, and pregnancy-friendly wellness activities to help you embrace the season with joy and intention.

1. Take a Mindful Nature Walk

Walking in a local park or botanical garden isn’t just gentle exercise—it’s also calming for your nervous system. Try a “five senses” walk: what do you see, hear, feel, smell, and taste in the air?

2. Outdoor Prenatal Yoga

Find a local class that offers outdoor prenatal sessions or follow a YouTube video in your backyard. Focus on stretches that open the hips, relieve lower back tension, and encourage breathwork.

3. Visit a Farmer’s Market

Local markets are full of spring veggies and fresh fruit. Fill your basket with leafy greens, berries, asparagus, and herbs—and try something new each week! Eating seasonal foods supports digestion and keeps meals exciting.

4. Create a Spring Self-Care Box

Collect things that spark joy and soothe your senses: a floral-scented candle, pregnancy-safe essential oils, a journal, calming teas, or a soft blanket. This box becomes your go-to for rest and recharge moments.

5. Garden or Plant Something

You don’t need a big yard—try planting herbs, flowers, or succulents in small pots. The act of planting something and watching it grow mirrors your own journey and brings daily joy.

6. Spring Maternity Photos

Whether you’re early in your pregnancy or nearing the third trimester, spring is a magical time for maternity photos. Find a flower-filled spot, wear your favorite flowing dress, and celebrate your radiant glow.

You deserve to feel nourished, connected, and celebrated. Spring is a reminder that you, too, are blooming. Embrace it with activities that honor your body, your spirit, and the little one you’re growing inside.
