Make sure you remember to make time for your spouse while you are pregnant too. They are probably nervous like you and they will need reassurance, too. Spend some time with him by going walking or to the movies. Enjoy this one-on-one time as much as possible before it is no more!
It is a good idea to start massaging your pregnant belly at the end of your second trimester. Lay with a couple pillows behind you so that you don’t lay flat on a bed or couch. Use oil instead of lotion, and with light pressure, massage your stomach. While you do this, play some relaxing music and take deep breaths. This will help you to be able to relax and will be soothing to the baby.
Pelvic tilts can help to ease the strain in your back during pregnancy. One position, the cat, is achieved by getting down on all fours and raising your back. The cow, by contrast, requires lowering your back. Tilting your back in this manner can provide great relief! Your baby will also be in the position for birthing.
It is very important for a woman in her third trimester to sleep on her left side. Sleeping this way gives your fetus the best blood supply, and also allows blood to easily flow to your kidneys and uterus. Do not sleep your your back, as it’s not a good way to get blood flowing.
You should inform your doctor if you are having a lot of discharge during your pregnancy. You could have an infection, which is common, or you could be leaking fluid from your uterus. It is always best to have a doctor determine the cause to prevent any harm to you or your baby.
