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. For the first time in about five years, I don’t actually know anyone pregnant right now. How weird is that? But it’s a fantastic idea, and I will pass it on when I do know someone that is. However, I think that we need more than just one day a year to be nice to pregnant ladies. I’ve been pregnant twice, but only once on March 3. Just sayin!

  2. What a clever idea! I’m due in 9 weeks and think that a national help a pregnant woman day would be amazing 🙂 I might just have to post your link on my blog! And way to go to you for helping out Leah. I know she’ll appreciate it!

  3. I am not due until the 27th of March but will likely deliver in the next week or so … not sure if I would be the pregnant one on the 3rd or the one that should be helping a pregnant one. 🙂 Guess we will have to wait and see. After 6 weeks (so far) of bedrest I am all about someone saying “what do you need”, but I also would love to help someone in a similar situation. God Bless you Amanda.

  4. Do you think I could convince my husband to make me a pregnant lady (again) that day in honor of it? I doubt it too.. I guess helping out all my friends with child will have to do. 😉

  5. I had no idea about this awesome day of the year! It’s too bad…maybe I could have used it myself before now? ;-D I know some preggos right now and am definitely gonna use this as an excuse to do something nice for ’em. Thanks!!

  6. Amanda, this is so funny. I just put up a pregnancy post (I am 32 weeks which is AMAZING seems how it seems like I just found out). I have a friend who is pregnant and I will try to help her March 3…she is our assistant pastor’s wife and I see her on Wednesdays so that is perfect! Thanks for this post!

  7. Great idea, wish you had thought of it several years ago. 🙂 Found you from Lynette’s blog and she is correct, you are funny!
    Have a great day.
    Amy

  8. I’m not sure if we can just call it a “national” holiday ourselves, but why not! Hmmmm…. Do I even know anyone who’s prenant though?
