What not to do in your third trimester of pregnancy?
Im 30 weeks now and getting cautious about everything, dont want to do anything that could be risky this close. The belly is heavy and i feel slower too. Pls share what u avoided in the last trimester.
No heavy lifting, no long travel close to due date, and dont skip your check ups now as they get more frequent. Avoid lying flat on back, sleep on your side. And dont ignore reduced baby movements, call doc immediately if that happens.
Currently living this stage and let me tell you, dont try to bend down for anything, just ask someone lol. Avoid long standing, heavy lifting and lying flat on your back. Also dont ignore your body when it screams rest.
This is the time to slow down and listen to your body. Dont stress yourself, dont strain, and dont hesitate to call your doctor for anything that feels off. You're almost there, be gentle with yourself.
My MIL kept telling me dont do jhatka movements or climb stairs fast in the last months, and she was right honestly. Avoid heavy chores, let family help. But for any real symptom always go by doctor not just family advice.
Dont overpack your schedule now, i made the mistake of working too hard. Avoid long commutes and standing in queues. Keep your hospital bag ready and dont travel far from your delivery hospital.
Please dont brush off warning signs in third trimester, things like bleeding, severe headache, swelling, blurry vision or less baby movement need a doctor call right away. I learnt this the hard way. Rest and stay close to your hospital.
