Hey, it's Mother's Day. Just because you're not a mommy yet doesn't mean you shouldn't take care of yourself like one. I can tell you from past experience, how you treat yourself while you're pregnant will very much impact how you take care of yourself (or don't) when you're a mom. And, take it from me, it's important to do both. It will make you a happier person and probably a better mom to do so.

MSN offers several keen suggestions for moms to be to make it through the day and keep on track. even if you're not a mom to be, and are already a mom (or not!) I think there is something in this list of suggestions that would benefit us all. So, if you have time after your Mother's Day brunch, check out these tips and see which ones you might like to give a whirl.

I myself am partial to the one regarding taking naps at lunch. I don't know how well this would fly at my office or anyone else's, but if you have the ability, I say go for it. Sleep during pregnancy is of the utmost importance. After you become a mom, it's downright essential. And it seems none of us parents ever gets enough. Heaven forbid those of us without TiVo stay up late enough to watch the latest episode of Lost!

I also appreciated the notion of shopping for an stocking up on pre-prepared foods. Even those of us not pregnant can get behind the idea of meal-planning for easy dinners during the week when we've already got a full plate of life, work, parenthood and heaven knows what else.

My favorite suggestion, though, which should go for all moms (especially on Mother's Day), is to let it all out. Feeling hormonal, pre-menstrual or menopausal? Share. Go 'head. Be sad or happy or both or whatever you feel. Just roll with it, and you'll feel better. Of course, best to mention you're about to do so to those around you so they're (better) prepared!!!

So, new mom to be, or already a mom, take a look at these suggestions and see if there isn't something nice you can do for yourself this Mother's Day, or any day!
