From maternity leave to practice contractions, there’s a lot to remember in your third trimester! Take a look at our checklist…
“Nesting is usually something that only occurs towards the end of your pregnancy, and shows labour is imminent,” says doula Lucy Symons (www.lucysymons.squarespace.com).
“It’s a totally irresistible need to tidy, sort, clean and clear, and can be logical (painting the baby’s room) or bonkers (I had a client who insisted on getting her wedding dress out of the attic and ironing it). It’s always a good idea to indulge these urges as you may find you don’t relax fully until everything on your list of ‘things to do’ is done.”
