Some changes are creeping in, like feeling your body becoming out of balance, bumping accidentally to the shelves anything you stand close to, try to put up with it, each day now is taking your close to the finish line.

Reach this stage of pregnancy moving and sleeping are becoming more challenging than before,  of course due to you putting much weight and having a belly that’s growing at least 200 grams each week.

Try to sit and relax move the remaining weeks, even if you plan to attend fitness classes. Sit more and raise your feet on a coffee table or any short table. Swelling is your fatalist enemy the coming weeks, for your body is retaining body like never before. Also during your sleep try to rest your hands on two pillows next to you, this will remove the weight putting on your wrists due to water retention that’s pressuring specifically the carpal tunnel at your wrist causing much pain and numbness. You might need to wear a brace that will help giving your aching wrist some support and prevent it from much unwanted bending.
