My After-Work Routine: Unwinding During Pregnancy

What’s the first thing you do after work? For me, now that I’m pregnant, the first thing is definitely a hot shower and changing into my incredibly soft PJs.

My nighttime routine starts around five, and honestly, I love every second of it. It’s my time to unwind, relax, and take care of myself before the day ends. Here’s what a typical evening looks like for me:

1. Hot Shower & Cozy PJs

Nothing feels better after a long day than stepping into a warm shower. It instantly washes away the stress and helps me feel refreshed. And let’s talk about PJs—because comfort is everything when you’re pregnant! I’ve been loving these ones from Cozy Earth lately because they’re so soft and breathable. Plus, you can get 40% off with my code CE-BELEN at this link! You know those pajamas that stick to your skin and make you sweat at night? Yeah, these are the complete opposite. Cozy Earth has lots of amazing things… not just pajamas but home stuff too. I love them! 

2. Skincare & Relaxing Tea

Pregnancy has made me extra conscious about self-care, and skincare is a huge part of that. After my shower, I go through my nighttime skincare routine, making sure my skin stays hydrated and healthy. Then, I make myself a cup of relaxing tea, which has become one of my favorite rituals. There’s just something so soothing about sipping warm tea before bed!

3. Reading & Winding Down

Once I’m all bundled up in my cozy pajamas, it’s time to slow down even more. I’ve been reading a few pregnancy books lately, and they’ve been such a great way to prepare for what’s ahead while also helping me relax before bed. It’s my little moment of peace before I drift off to sleep.

And that’s pretty much my routine after work! It’s simple, but it makes such a difference in how I feel. What about you? What’s the first thing you do after work? Let me know in the comments—I’d love to hear about your routine!

Xo,
