Last Months of Pregnancy are Tough

Do you remember that last month of being pregnant? Are you in it?

I’m sure I wouldn’t have remembered it so well if it weren’t for my DD being there not so long ago.  From what I remember it was really rough. I couldn’t sit for long – too hard on the tailbone.  I couldn’t stand for long – too hard on the feet.  I couldn’t even lay down for long – too hard on everything!  That big belly just made everything I did feel uncomfortable.

DD was the same way. She hardly slept because she had to switch positions all of the time.  She had to pee every five minutes.  She never wanted to go anywhere because by the time she got there she was out of energy!

The last month of pregnancy (or more if you gain a lot of weight) is not a great time because your body just is not comfortable with that weight on your belly.

I found a cool site with some neat options for making it a little more comfortable in the last month of pregnancy.

Belevation.com focuses on maternity underwear that can give you more support.  They have some great options that will suit any woman’s lifestyle from the maternity briefs to the maternity belly band to maternity yoga pants.  The materials that are used are usually found in active wear and are made with seamless knitting.  They’ve been tested relentlessly be volunteers so pregnant women that buy them now can be sure that they are comfortable.

I wish that these had been around when I was having my kids!
