self care

I had a 75 minute pregnancy massage this evening, thanks to my SO! I encourage all you wonderful women to get to a massage at least once during your pregnancy. It was awesome. My body feels so good, I'm relaxed, and totally ready for the 3rd trimester!

Pregnancy yoga starts Saturday for me, so excited! I might start going to a weekly pregnancy suppory group with other preggo women, what are you all doing for self care?

    I get acupuncture regularly. I've also added chiro; which I hate, but oh well. I know I. Need it.

    Been sick with allergies/head cold all this week. So for me it was getting to the doctor for medications (approved by OB) and then lots of doctor ordered sleep. Then I got a mani/pedi so I can feel more like a normal human at a wedding this weekend.

    - prenatal massage: i got one in august and will get one each month through december
    - acupuncture: started this weekly when were TTC. i've been spreading treatments out a bit in the second tri, but will likely increase frequency to weekly around 35ish weeks
    - prenatal yoga: haven't started yet, but will be going weekly starting in september

    My version of self care is having my SO bring me extra ice iced tea and play with my hair while I lay my head in his lap and watch Friends reruns. I'm high maintenance.

    I have to add that I LOVE dancing, it is good for my soul. I've been dancing, belly and all, a handful of times in the last couple of months. I'm feeling the urge to move again soon. At some point I'll just move the dance party home, but it's not as fun!

    - Massage...once a month and then increase towards December, ideally weekly
    - Facials...goal is also once a month but i fail at scheduling
    - Prenatal yoga...it is awesome
    - My birth class is actually really fun, and the massages from hubby at the end of it are nice :)
    - sleep/quiet weekends...enjoying them now!

    Under my insurance I don't need an rx, I just go get them!

    I am going to start regular pedicures since I can't bend over any more. I have been having a lot of baths lately, but they are not so relaxing when your 3 y.o. barges in and wants in the tub with you, or wants to help you wash by dumping buckets of water on you.
