The Preg Veg: Must Remember to Relax

10/9/09
Many of us barrel into our third trimester like we’re Lynda Carter with a magic lasso and a pair of deflecting bracelets, but now, more than ever, is the time we should be slowing down to smell the roses.
Rather than getting caught up in the approaching deadline or the ever-growing discomforts, let me suggest taking a moment each day to contemplate the amazing occurrence happening right under your nose.
And as those pleasing thoughts calm your mind, why not lengthen that moment into a restful retreat. Consider taking a warm bath, getting a massage, or just kicking up your feet to read a favorite poem or book, or listen to your favorite music.
