So, we’re at week 26 and my heartburn is beginning to irritate me, every meal and sometimes just drinking can set me off! I have tried to avoid spicy foods and carbonated drinks, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference, I mean, even eating cereal leaves me in pain! I have a huge bottle of heartburn relief liquid that is kept
with me at all times.
Speaking of medication, I have started to moisturise everyday to try and avoid the stretch marks, Asda have their own brand of stretch mark oil which is loads cheaper than other brands that are on offer and leaves your skin feeling lovely and soft. I have even been using it on my hands now the winter is here!
When (like me) you get into your third trimester it is time you started to relax, although the nesting instinct kicks in and you want to clean everything! All I can say is, make sure you take heed and relax because swollen ankles and aching joints are not much fun when you are carrying the extra weight.
