Im on leave from work and mostly ghar pe these days, second tri so feeling okay energy wise. Honestly getting a bit bored sitting whole day. How did you all keep yourself busy and happy during pregnancy?
Honestly, in my 3rd trimester, I spend 90% of my time trying to find a comfortable sleeping position or searching for baby clothes online! The exhaustion is real, so just binge-watch your favorite shows and sleep as much as you can before the baby arrives.
Beta, this is the time to read good spiritual books and keep your mind peaceful, as it directly affects the baby. You can also do light knitting or make small things for the home. Drink warm saffron milk at night and rest well.
Because of my high-risk complications, I was on strict bed rest and could only spend my time listening to podcasts or reading. If your pregnancy is smooth, you can be active, but do consult your doctor about what level of activity is safe for you.
I used to spend my time walking daily and preparing healthy, low-carb snacks like roasted makhana to keep my sugar levels in check. Staying active and focusing on a clean diet is a great way to use your time. Avoid just sitting and eating sweets, keep yourself productively active!
I felt so connected to my baby when I spent my time writing a daily pregnancy journal and talking to my belly. I felt it was the most beautiful, slow phase of my life, so I just focused on resting and enjoying the quiet moments.
I attended all the prenatal yoga and childbirth preparation classes hosted by my hospital. Asking the hospital staff for recommended activities and reading their parenting brochures kept me very busy and well-prepared. It was a great way to spend my days.
You can read good books, listen to soft music, or do very light exercises, but always check with your gynac before starting any physical hobby. Every pregnancy is different, so safety should always be your main priority. Don't push your body too much.
