Keep goin’, you #fitmom, you! Just remember to be aware of how everything feels. If you’re still able to exercise, there’s no reason to stop. If it’s cold outside, go to a mall and do laps. It doesn’t have to be intense to be beneficial! Keep moving in whatever way works for you. This may not be what you want to hear but I’m going to say it anyways: stay on your feet as much as you can! Stay active to keep your body loose (as opposed to tight). All that aside, don’t give in to the urge to spend the next 4 weeks (or so) horizontal. Your hormones are working overtime as your body prepares for birth which means you’re exhausted, irritable and maybe even nauseous. Things are, like, unnaturally heavy which causes a strain on the rest of your body. I know that the last month of pregnancy is a doozy. Visualize your entire face drooping as a result of being soooo relaxed. Loosen your jaw and let your mouth gently hang. Let your arms hang like spaghetti noodles. Several times a day, roll your shoulders back and pull your shoulder blades down and back. Why? Because coaxing your body into a state of relaxation is KEY to labour efficiently. Training your body to release and relax will benefit you big time when you’ve started the birth process. Do me a favour and actually do this, okay? Then it won’t feel so foreign when you’re doing it IRL. Channel your inner horse (now that’s a strange phrase) and let your lips flap together.
Breath in through your nose until you feel your belly rise and back out through your mouth. Inhale for four counts exhale for four counts. Hopefully you’ve been doing this for several weeks already but, if you haven’t, it’s time to get started!Ĭoncentrate on taking slow, deep breaths. and none of them have anything to do with packing a hospital bag. If the month of your due date has finally arrived, these are a few things to start doing in order to get yourself ready for B-Day. Excitement, nerves, anxiety all kick into high gear with the realization that, after all these months of waiting, your baby will be here pretty darn soon. Hitting that final month in your pregnancy is a milestone.
