What else should i be doing?

[maritimemum]

to prep myself for this uc.. we are at 33.5-32.5ish weeks now.. i am drinking RRL tea and started mixing chamomile with it to help me sleep hopefully at night.. EPO shouldn't be started till 35 weeks right? What else do you ladies start doing and when?

at that point if you feel like you need to do something you can start feeding the freezer and nesting

haha, i think you meant things you can do directly to yourself/your baby but i can't think of anything.

drinking the RRL tea is good. i have read conflicting info about chamomille in pregnancy. but maybe you are only drinking it at night. surely that would be fine. i have been avoiding it cause i read something somewhere that said i should but i love chamomille and would really like to drink it so i am interested to hear other's thoughts on it

i wish i had the energy to feed the freezer lol i keep trying but HG makes it really hard with food aversion and nausea i am doing other nesting as i have energy and hope DH can get some painting done while i go out this weekend and get the bathroom and living room painted! I have this weird obsession with what the wall are like (we just bought this place in june) and i want not ugly walls with wallpaper i hate in my birth pictures : how crazy pregnant lady is that! I stripped both rooms of the wall paper yesterday in this crazed nesting fit Now to make dh get them pretty then the kitchen it getting hit! I have like 7-8weeksish i figure i gotta get this house so i dont glare at the walls :

Mostly i was thinking to prep my body for labour in the best way I thought things i had read said chamomile was fine for helping with sleeping and digestion issues... this seems to sound like it is okay? http://www.thelaboroflove.com/articl...ing-pregnancy/ i will be doing more reading.. i only put one bag in a big pot of water mixed with RRL it seems to be helping with the sleep some.. i just started that two days ago

i am going to add some chamomille into my diet now then cause i really like it and i make it for dd alot. i just sit there and smell it and have been wanting to drink some. don't know what i read that got it in my head that i couldn't drink it but actually, maybe it was something about not drinking it in early pregnancy and i just forgot

i am with you on the nesting thing. i have painted walls but i have been cleaning them the last couple days. i love nesting cause i get so much done. sometimes i wish i could just relax and next at a reasonable pace but as i get close to the end of pregnancy i feel the urgent need to get it all done.

i hope to have all things i consider most important completed by Sunday. then i'm sure i'll find more detailed stuff to do.

i am trying to take it easy on dh this time. last time i drove him crazy. i was posting signs in every room of the house telling him what i needed him to do and there was a sign on the outside door asking him to clean his tools in the garage. we like to look back on that and laugh...so, this time i am making the lists but just keeping them on my desk rather than posting them....makes it less stressful for him.

oh, and i didn't start feeding the freezer until i was like 36-37 weeks. i made mostly soup. also, alot of stuff i just stocked up on at the store. that was the one thing i didn't do with dd. i regretted not freezing more and stocking up more. it all worked out but it was the one thing i wanted to do this time so even though we don't have a ton stockpiled it should help out.

all this nesting talk...i better get back to my projects...
