You have little left: 11 things to enjoy in your last weeks of pregnancy

Pregnancy is a stage that although each woman lives differently, it is one in which we can enjoy many different things throughout each trimester. During the third trimester, thanks to our belly some activities become real challenges and we can feel anxious because the day comes when we will meet our baby.

But do not hurry and take the opportunity to enjoy the final stretch of pregnancy. We share you 11 things to enjoy in the last weeks of your pregnancy.

Let you pamper

One of the things we notice most when we are pregnant is how some people's treatment of us changes. It is common that those around us, be they family, friends or even strangers with whom we interact in public places, are friendlier to us and help us with some things, so that we do not strive or fight.

Take advantage and let yourself be pampered in recent weeks, which will surely be a bit more exhausting due to the size of your belly and all the changes that your body continues to go through.

Enjoy your belly

Yes, perhaps at this point your belly rather than being something that inspires you tenderness is something that prevents you from sleeping comfortably or putting on clothes that do not squeeze you. But it is in these weeks when you can enjoy it and play it at its best.

Admire it, caress it and thank the ability of your body to create and host a new life during those nine months.

Feel your baby's kicks

Your baby's kicks are definitely one of the most beautiful sensations we can feel in pregnancy. And while now our baby does not have much space to move and perhaps more than kicks we feel like pushing, enjoy that beautiful feeling of having our baby stuck to us.

Eat calmly

Motherhood is very beautiful, but it is also true that once the baby is born, our schedules and routines go crazy, making us have very strange food schedules and sometimes we can not even eat calmly. If you are a first-time mother, take advantage and eat at your own pace. If you already have children, enjoy eating with them, explaining the importance of having a good diet now that you expect a baby.

Cravings

A healthy diet is basic in pregnancy, but it is also fun to give in to the cravings that our body is asking for. Take advantage of those last days to give yourself a taste, say "yes" to that craving - normal or rare - and enjoy it without guilt.

Spend an afternoon in a spa

Take advantage that you still have your hands free and visit a spa to let you pamper a little. It can be from manicure to make a facial, just remember to check with your doctor before doing so, and thus recommend the best options for you.

Go out with your friends or partner

Take advantage that your baby remains safe and secure inside your belly to enjoy a meal with your friends or a dinner with your partner. Even many couples decide to make a "baby moon", which is a kind of second honeymoon before the baby is born.

Prepare everything for your baby

One of the most beautiful parts of pregnancy is when you prepare everything you need for the arrival of your baby. From buying and organizing your clothes, to preparing your room in case you do not sleep with you, it is certainly something that fills us with enthusiasm and that you can enjoy doing calmly in those last weeks.

Get a massage

One of the things you can do for yourself during pregnancy to feel better and help you be more relaxed, is assist with a certified massage therapist or therapist to receive a prenatal massage. Make sure you have your doctor's approval and that the place you go is handled by professionals.

The tranquility

We do not want to scare you, but when the baby arrives, tranquility and silence are two things that shine through his absence. From the nights when he wakes up every certain hours to eat, until the first years of childhood where that little voice is laughing and screaming, tranquility becomes something weird. Enjoy it and relax.

Sleep and rest

Last but not least: rest and sleep as much as you can. In the last weeks our body gets more tired and it is very important to have a good rest in pregnancy. This was something I did during the last month of my pregnancy and it was certainly the best decision.

During the third quarter we may have some discomfort, but also remember that we can always resort to these suggestions of things you can enjoy in the last weeks of your pregnancy. Would you add others to the list?
