8 Simple Ways to Enjoy Being

Making the most of your journey to motherhood with Solayo.

Pregnancy is a beautiful and life-changing journey — but let’s be honest, it can also feel overwhelming at times. From morning sickness to endless advice from family and friends, it’s easy to lose sight of the joy in the process.

The good news? You can take simple, intentional steps to make your pregnancy a more positive and memorable experience. At Solayo, we’re here to walk with you every step of the way — and our WhatsApp assistant is ready to remind you about self-care moments whenever you need them.

1. Start Each Day with Gratitude

Before you get busy, take a moment to appreciate the miracle growing inside you. This positive mindset can help you feel calmer and more connected to your baby.

2. Eat Nourishing Foods You Actually Enjoy

Pregnancy isn’t about eating “perfectly” — it’s about eating well and loving what’s on your plate. Aim for balanced meals rich in fruits, vegetables, and protein, but allow yourself occasional treats. Solayo can connect you with nutrition experts who understand local diets and budgets.

3. Move Your Body Safely

Light walks, stretching, or prenatal yoga can boost your mood, reduce discomfort, and prepare your body for labor. Always check with your healthcare provider before starting any new routine.

4. Create a Birth Plan

Having a birth plan gives you confidence and helps your care team understand your preferences. Not sure where to start? Solayo’s WhatsApp assistant can guide you step-by-step and send reminders when it’s time for scans or check-ups.

“Making a baby is one of the greatest experiences of life.

5. Celebrate the Milestones

From hearing your baby’s heartbeat to feeling the first kick, take time to celebrate these precious moments. You might even keep a pregnancy journal or share updates with close family and friends.

6. Surround Yourself with Positive Support

Pregnancy can be emotional. Spend more time with people who encourage you and less time with those who bring stress. Solayo’s online community is a safe space where you can connect with other mums-to-be across Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana.

7. Pamper Yourself

A gentle massage, a relaxing bath, or simply reading a book you love can work wonders for your mood. Self-care isn’t selfish — it’s part of staying healthy for you and your baby.

8. Stay Informed, Not Overwhelmed

With so much pregnancy advice online, it’s easy to feel confused. Stick to trusted sources. Solayo offers reliable, easy-to-understand maternal health tips right on WhatsApp so you can get answers without the noise.


Pregnancy is a unique season in life — one that deserves to be embraced with joy and confidence. With Solayo’s support, you can focus on what truly matters: your well-being and the safe arrival of your little one.
