Hygge + Pregnancy

Hygge (pronounced hue-guh not hoo-gah) is defined as a Danish word used when acknowledging a feeling or moment, whether alone or with friends, at home or out, ordinary or extraordinary as cosy, charming or special. This lifestyle does not really require any work, experience or expense. It literally is a mindset of slowing down and being intentional about what you do and how you do it, while creating calm and peace.

During pregnancy, mood and emotion can play a huge role in your level of comfort and happiness. Incorporating hygge behaviors can make the journey of pregnancy a more comfortable experience.

Here are a few hygge behaviors to get you started on YOUR VIBE.

  • have a cup of tea by the fireplace

  • read your favorite book on the couch

  • take a bubble bath

  • take a walk at sunrise or sunset

  • wear fuzzy socks

  • schedule a spa day

  • netflix and chill

You may be living the hygge lifestyle without even knowing it by creating a vibe in your home, bedroom or workspace. What about a morning or evening ritual? Things that may seem natural to you, the Danish culture has given a name. Use this lifestyle during pregnancy to stimulate those happy hormones and comfortable feelings.
