I just love when great stuff happens!  It appears that this idea has taken on a life of its own and how cool is that?? 

So!  To answer your questions…


Yes!  You can repost this on your blog if you want!  You can blog about it whenever you like, but March 3rd might be a fun day for everyone to do it.  Of course, if you would rather just bless a pregnant friend privately, well, bless your heart!  I just love that.


I am loving reading through emails and comments about how this has touched you!  You are such a blessing to me!

Feel free to also join the new Facebook group!  March 3rd is right around the corner!

And thanks to Londa, here is a button for you!  Thank you so much Londa, this is beautiful!

So my hubbys cousin Leah emailed me and asked if we could watch her kids next Wed.  (She just happens to be almost nine months pregnant!)  I immediately said yes because I adore her kids and my kids adore her kids and its a fun time had by all!

But what struck me was her subject line.

"March 3rd is National Help a Pregnant Woman Day."

She informed me she was kidding but I got to thinking…wouldn't it be nice?

Well, yes Leah.  I think it would!

So, I have a little challenge for you!  Do you know someone who is expecting?  Are you expecting?

If you know someone…why not plan an act of kindness for them?

Stop by and fold some laundry.

Drop off baked goods.

Send flowers.

Hand write her a note of love and appreication

Babysit her other kids for an hour.

Send her a gift card to Starbucks. (for after the baby of course!)

If you are pregnant… just send a link of this post to everyone you know! 

Maybe someone will read it and snap up the opportunity to do something for you!

You can always email me or comment here and I will try to match you up or do something sweet for you myself!

I would love to be able to reach out and let all the pregnant mama's know how loved, special, and appreciated they are!

So what do you think?  Can we make March 3rd National Help a Pregnant Lady Day? 🙂

Share with your friends!

  1. I better still be pregnant on March 3rd! Well, I guess technically by that point, I could have him, but I am kind of not emotionally ready for him yet. Either way, if I have him that day or not, I better be home in time to get together with you! THAT’S my prayer!

  2. Can I just say, Thank you for posting this.
    Oh how I need even just my husband to read this. That would bless me 🙂

  3. I’m at the age where my friends and I are all about to be grandmothers (I kid! kind of) – but srsly there is nary a pregnant person around

  4. What a fun idea! And, though it is not public info yet and I haven’t announced it on my blog or elsewhere, I just might fit into that category that needs help.

  5. Wow, I was just trying to be less boring at 1am. Thanks! The follow-up could be “Help a Parent with Young Children Day” and then, “Help a Caregiver Day”…

  6. Hi Amanda 🙂 I think I already filled you in on the news that I’m pregnant. Will you make me some cookies??? Purdy please?! Just kidding. Sort of.
    Hugs to you. This is a sweet post. I’m all about encouraging and uplifting posts 🙂

  7. You are so sweet. Man, I wish I was pregnant…cause I would have you stop by and drop off some of your wonderful cookies. YUM!
    Hugs,
    Mimi
