Oh, the third trimester – that magical time when tying your own shoelaces becomes an Olympic sport, you develop a profound love for pickles and ice cream, and your belly has officially been promoted to CEO of your entire existence. As you wobble closer to that grand "I-just-created-a-human-being" moment, here are the top 10 tips that keep everything (including your sanity) in check.
1. The Art of Sleep (Or Attempting It)
Ah, sleep. The elusive old friend who keeps curiously canceling dinner plans. In the same breath as you google "is pregnancy insomnia a thing?" you'll find yourself searching for comfortable sleep positions that don't require three Oxford dictionaries worth of props.
Don't worry! Sleep is only a myth in your third trimester.2. Practice Baby Calm!
Do a Bey and practice bouncing! Labor positions aren't just for delivery day. Getting your bounce on with a pregnancy ball can ease back pains, improve posture, and prepare your body for D-day, a.k.a delivery day. It's like your own, private, baby-inclusive dance party.
