Be yourself. There's so much advice, but there's no perfect way to be pregnant, give birth, or care for your baby. It's up to what you’re comfortable with—if you want to go all-organic and ban makeup during your pregnancy, go for it! I actually felt most comfortable and most like myself in heels, so that's what I wore.
Take good care. I think it's a big accomplishment to get through these nine months and stay fairly healthy. Normally we work out for a while and then get sick of it after a few weeks. I realized that I was doing it for someone else, and so I stuck with it—I stayed off coffee, ate my veggies, drank a ton of water.
You don't have to 180 your whole life. You can still be your fabulous self when pregnant. I traveled and worked—I don't think you have to just stay home and put your feet up. You do get much more tired, of course, but I think staying active gives you more energy.
Have super-supportive people around you. It's been wonderful to be taken care of before the baby. My mom and my mother-in-law have been here, making home-cooked food, keeping the house clean, and just giving so much great support so that we can focus on the baby.
