With our recent heat wave and amazing weather on the West Coast, I’ve come to realize why women don’t love being pregnant over the Summer. I’m not going to complain about our beautiful sunshine, but hot nights and swollen feet result in some restless nights of tossing and turning. To help battle the heat and my aches and pains, I’m taking a proactive approach (with a bit of whining to my husband thrown in). My musts right now include….
1) loose cotton night gowns to sleep in
2) fresh brewed decaf iced tea
3) pregnancy yoga in my living room to stretch and move in the morning
4) LOTS of fresh watermelon, cantaloupe, cherries, strawberries, and any other fruit I can get my hands on
5) a weekly pre-natal massage
6) my full body pillow, the Snoogle
With all that said, being a bit on the uncomfortable side is so worth the ultimate reward. Baby’s little kicks are a reminder of all the wonderful things happening in my body. My favorite part of pregnancy so far.
