My cousin just announced shes expecting and i want to surprise her with a nice bouquet. Confused which flowers are good to gift for this. Any suggestions?
I absolutely loved receiving pastel roses and carnations when I was pregnant. They looked so pretty in my room and didn't have a strong smell. Highly fragrant flowers like tube-roses (rajnigandha) can sometimes be too strong during pregnancy, in my experience.
I am currently pregnant and I would absolutely love getting tulips or roses! Strong smells make me throw up though, so mild ones are definitely better. Are there any other gifts like comfortable pillows that you guys would recommend alongside flowers?
Giving mild-scented flowers like roses or carnations is lovely, but avoid highly fragrant ones like lilies or jasmine as they can trigger nausea. While there's no medical restriction on flowers, checking if the mom-to-be has pollen allergies is always a good idea.
Simple local roses are the best and very budget-friendly too! No need to spend a bomb on expensive imported bouquets when that money can be saved for future baby expenses and diaper funds. A simple, sweet bunch is more than enough to make her smile.
I think gentle flowers like orchids or yellow roses are beautiful and positive. Since I had thyroid issues and had to visit the doctor frequently, carrying a small positive gesture like simple flowers really cheered me up. Just make sure they don't have too much pollen.
Oh, when my friend brought me bright yellow gerberas, I panicked thinking the smell would trigger my morning sickness! But actually, it was so beautiful and didn't bother me at all. Go ahead and give something simple and cheerful, it really lifts the mood!
