For many women, being pregnant is an incredible and straightforward process. They have few complications and can continue to work up until their due date. However, for some expectant mothers being pregnant is more difficult. The side effects can make them feel tired and ill on a regular basis. This can result in them having to take time off frequently or quit their job altogether. Some pregnant women are also advised to stop working due to their pregnancy being high-risk. If you fall into either of these categories, money is bound to be a huge concern.

But just because you aren’t able to do your day job doesn’t mean that you can’t make money. Take a look at these stress-free money-making ideas which are perfect for expectant mothers.

Dress-making

If you have a knack for sewing, dress-making could be the money-making option for you. You can create clothing for adults or children in an array of different styles. These can then be sold online on sites such as Etsy or in local boutiques. You might even want to sell them to friends and family. There’s also the option of making housewares such as curtains, throws, and pillowcases. These are desirable items, particularly when people want to spruce up their homes. Sewing is considered one of the best ways of relieving stress which can be beneficial to both you and your baby. So as well as making money from home, this idea can also improve your health.

Write ebooks

Writing and selling e-books is an excellent non-strenuous way for expectant mothers to make some extra money. You can write about your pregnancy experience or offer parenting tips to help other expectant mothers. You can write an e-book about your interests or create fictional stories for adults. The possibilities are endless. You just need to spend a few hours writing each day, which won’t cause too much additional strain during your pregnancy.

Once you have created your e-book, you can then sell it on tradebit marketplace and other e-book sites. You’ll then earn royalties every time your e-book is bought. The more quality e-books you create, the more money you are likely to generate. But don’t push yourself to write more than you are able to finish without stress to yourself or the baby.

House sitting

When people go on vacation, they want to know that their homes are going to be safe. This is why house sitting has become so popular. It provides peace of mind to the homeowners and can help to deter thieves too. But more importantly, it’s another fantastic way of making money. You can spend a weekend or a few weeks living in another person’s home and get paid stay there. It’s likely that you will have to do some minor household task such as watering plants and feeding pets. But overall, this can be a relaxing and easy source of income. Look for reputable house sitting agencies online to find out more.

So even if you’ve had to give up your day job, there is no reason for you to worry about how you are going to support yourself and your child or help contribute to the family income.
