Honestly im so stressed these days, work tension plus pregnancy hormones and i just cant calm down. 7 months running. How do u all relax yaar, anything that actually worked for you?
For me, relaxing always involves food! Grabbing my favorite mango milkshake or some hot samosas and watching a good show works wonders. Just pamper yourself with whatever you crave, it really lifts your mood.
Staying at my parents' house was the biggest blessing for me to relax. My mother would massage my hair with warm oil, and just chatting with her made all my worries disappear. Spend time with family if you can, it's so comforting.
I felt so overwhelmed with all the bodily changes and anxiety in my first pregnancy. I started taking deep breaths and sitting quietly for ten minutes every evening, and I felt it brought me so much peace. Be gentle with yourself, you are doing great.
Just hand over the TV remote to your husband and demand a foot massage, haha! Honestly, long warm baths and sleeping with a giant pregnancy pillow were my ultimate ways to survive the stress. Enjoy this lazy time before the baby takes over.
I personally found that listening to light instrumental music and reading books in the evening helped me wind down. Everyone has their own way, so just find what makes you feel peaceful and stick to it.
