Cassie Taught Us 5 Lessons On Self-Care During Her Pregnancy

We're taking notes.
5 Lessons Cassie Taught Us About Self-Care During Her Pregnancy

By Jennifer Ford · Updated November 4, 2020

Congratulations are in order for Cassie and her celebrity fitness trainer husband, Alex Fine. Just a few weeks shy of their four-month wedding anniversary, the newlyweds welcomed their first child, Frankie Fine, on December 6, reports TMZ. And while we’re waiting for the new parents to share photos of their bundle of joy with the world, we’re reminded of all the lessons Cassie taught us throughout her pregnancy.

For the past nine months, the 33-year-old has remained pretty low-key. But through a series of Instagram posts, the singer indirectly taught us a few lessons about self-care and body positivity.

Here are the five lessons we learned from baby Frankie’s mama.

So pregnant 👀 – so ready, staying hydrated @hemphydrate

Lesson 1: Drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated is important for your overall health, but it’s also critical for keeping your skin supple and free of blemishes brought on by stress (e.g., pregnancy). As far as we’re concerned, Cassie never had a bad skin day while with child.

Lesson 2: Love your body. Throughout our lifetime, it will go through plenty of changes. It is to be celebrated and not covered, commended and not criticized.

In my final days of pregnancy (yes days! Finally! 😆), my mind has been all over the place with thoughts and questions on becoming a first time mom. I’ve personally found comfort in meeting and sharing my experiences with other moms which is why I’m so thankful to have discovered @peanut – it’s helped me see that I’m not alone in all of these wandering thoughts. The app introduces you to like-minded women nearby who are at a similar stage in life. It’s designed to help you find support in areas that you might be questioning and learn from one another. I love the sense of community that @Peanut provides for women and it is a reminder that we're not alone in this process. Be sure to check it out! #peanutapp #ad

Lesson 3: Make mental health a priority. It isn’t always easy to navigate your thoughts. That’s why women like Cassie turn to support groups to help make the task a little bit easier. “It’s a reminder that we’re not alone…,” shared Cassie in an Instagram post.

Who needs pants anyway?

Lesson 4: Relax. Whether it’s going pantless or cuddling up in your favorite sweater on self-care Sunday, determine what works for you and do that—a lot.

Lesson 5: Treat yourself. Or get some friends who will. Nothing makes a girl feel better than luxuriating in a rich body oil or penciling her thoughts into her favorite journal.
