What is the most fun to do when your best friend is pregnant

When your best friend is pregnant for the very first time, it's big and crazy and world-shattering. Because hello, it's your best friend and you've held each other's hair back after one too many shots that came back up. But above all, it's amazing and still big and crazier than you ever thought. You immediately feel like you're becoming an aunt and not just some random person in the life of the little sprout. The source of dark pregnancy secrets opens up and your life will never be the same again, because you hear things you would rather not have heard. I've had my fair share of pregnant friends, that much is clear.

Now you can of course endlessly talk about cramps, the turning circle of the Bugaboo (I'm still amazed at how maneuverable such a thing is) and whether ‘I Love Mama’ can or cannot be on a pacifier, but I also have some suggestions.

Ask the right questions

Make a list of questions you've never thought about, without first consulting a self-help book. For every question you answer correctly, you get a bottle of bubbles to pop open after the birth. Here are some suggestions... How warm should such a bottle actually be and what exactly is wrist temperature? Seriously, you just don't know that, do you? And how many hours a day does such a little one actually sleep? From what age can a child eat filet americain? Yes, that's what I mean. You have no idea how much you don't know.

Play a game of name scrabble

This is especially funny if you know whether it's a boy or a girl, otherwise the options are endless. But hey, you might just come up with a name they’ve never thought of. It still makes for a particularly good story.

Make and taste the best non-alcoholic version of every drink

And keep a secret bottle of gin or vodka on hand, it all has to remain fun, of course.

Go on a babymoon

I didn't even know such a thing existed, but couples seem to go on babymoons these days. In the past, this was just your annual vacation, only in pregnant mode. So a weekend out and about with the mother-to-be. This also suspiciously resembles the girlfriend weekend, but then you have a good excuse again.

Watch all the bad baby movies together

Especially start with Bad Moms. Mila Kunis rocks as a bad mother and it takes some of the panic off the pregnancy. It makes her much happier.

Give gifts

But not just for the baby, also for your friend. Especially if she just gave birth. I've never seen one of my friends look as blissful as when she told me someone smuggled a bottle of bubbles into the hospital. I still regret that it wasn't me. Since then, I continuously give bottles of drinks at inappropriate moments, because you never know. But a stack of books, that lovely cream, fragrant genius bath oil, and the like. She'll definitely get those hundred thousand baby outfits from the rest.
