Anybody have a hobby you like to do while preggo?

lalavvv · July 2011

I love cross-stitching. I always seem to start a project when preggo. Each baby gets framed art with their name and birthdate and some cute teddy bears, etc.
I find it a very soothing and stress-relieving craft. Plus its nice to make something for baby. I know a lot of people like crocheting or knitting but I never learned.

Anybody want to share a fun hobby you do while preggo or otherwise?

Does eating count? LOL.

When I was a kid, my grandma taught me to knit - just the basics, all we ever knit were scarves that we later donated to a church group. My recently, I went into the craft store bored, and came out with yarn and knitting needles. I've been watching some instructional you tube videos, and recently knit a hat! (We'll see if it fits!)

I have taken up sewing since I got pregnant. I have made DD 2 pillow case dresses and a dust ruffle for the crib. I am also going to make a curtain for the nursery, a cover for the changing pad, and a cover for the car seat. I find it rewarding that I can make things for Lo and DD. Not to mention, the money I save from making it myself and the choice to use a pattern I like instead of what I can find available at the stores.

Watching "questionable at best" TV. This includes Nora Roberts Lifetime movies (watching one right now), Toddlers and Tiaras, and just random crappy TV (as described by DH). I am super-lazy these days.

Scrapbooking!

I'm making a pregnancy scrapbook instead of a pregnancy journal. It has all the ultrasound pics, all the bump pics, we wrote down on one part all the names DH liked and all the names I liked and why we chose the names we did Then there are pics on a family tree in there and I have space saved for pics of the shower

Haha, this AND craft projects for the nursery. We're going with a nautical theme for our nursery, so there are all sorts of fun crafts that I'm working on (painting oars, building saillboats with quilted sails, etc.).

I wish I was crafty! My main hobbies have always been reading and writing, and that hasn't changed since I got pregnant.

I'd really like to be able to make something for the nursery, though. Maybe a collage?

I've been playing piano a lot more in hopes that my baby can hear me and will want to play when he gets older. Like 4 y/o, lol.

Knitting for other people's babies. I knit a blanket for my niece when I was pregnant with DS. I am working on hats for several babies right now. Hopefully I will also get around to making something for this baby.
