My nesting instincts never happened. All those pregnancy books assured me in my third trimester that I’d feel an intense desire to get ready for the birth of my baby. I imagined I’d wake up with an uncontrollable urge to research the best Diaper Genies and baby socks.
But with only a handful of weeks left before my due date, all I felt inspired to do was nap and pee. Still, even without that intense hormonal drive, my first-time-mama nervousness was enough to motivate me to do all the things.
But I couldn’t escape the feeling that I was missing something
Taking time to enjoy the last months with my partner and with myself was the best advice I received while pregnant
It’s one of the only tips I’d pass on when given the opportunity. So, mamas take time for you in your last preggo months, because preparing yourself is also an excellent way to prepare for your baby. I promise the tiny nail clippers can wait.
