Hello everyone, welcome to my channel. I'm Davy Killian and I am sharing with you my third trimester recap and update. It's kind of strange we're filming this because I am about 37 and a half weeks pregnant right now and when this goes up I'll probably be about 38 and a half. Hopefully they can get that long but I just wanted to share with you what has been working well, what I've still been doing, how I've been feeling, all those things because if you're a pregnant mama like me I would love to give you just some tips and tricks of what I've been doing, things that I've had going on so that maybe they're helpful for you. Anyways don't forget to like this video if you enjoy these as well as subscribe if you're new I do videos on simple and thrifted living DIYs and home making. So I'm gonna jump right in. Alright so third trimester is a little more challenging than second in that we get a little bit more tired again not like first trimester I was exhausted first trimester so I was definitely not needing naps every day. I continued to drink my red raspberry leaf tea and I have upped it now in the last four weeks before I'm at 40 weeks so at about 36 weeks I started drinking two cups a day of that to help ease and make birth and labor a little easier. I started eating dates pretty daily as well to help with labor as well. Just all these little tricks and things that you can do to help ease your labor and I'm having a natural unmedicated birth a water birth actually so I'm really excited about that but even if you're planning on getting an epidural I would definitely recommend doing these things as well. I have not struggled with breathing a lot I know a lot of people on third trimester they start to get winded and raspy but I'm a music teacher so I'm singing all the time and I even carry extremely high like she just sit and up still really high she hasn't dropped much on me at all but I can I still feel like I can talk for a long periods of time and that get extremely out of breath of course like if I continue to talk here for 10 minutes I'm gonna be a little bit winded but going up and down steps I can still sing that doesn't bother me much so I pray so lower that that music teacher has helped. A few more things I've noticed she moves all the time in me. I know they sit tight say at about 36 weeks you feel more flutters and things my baby she's just going all over the place and definitely moving a lot which is so awesome and fun to feel see it we're even right now and sometimes you maybe if you watch closely you might see a little foot or something so that's just kind of fun. Also one thing I had an issue with was my baby was sunny side up for a while or OP so that means like if this is my pelvis her head and her eyeballs were facing out and they prefer to have the back of the head facing out of the belly so that it's easier going down the birth canal really and she I believe has flipped my last appointment at 37 weeks they said she was perfectly faced down how she's supposed to be so I was excited about that because they just said if she is sunny side up it's just a lot harder labor for the mom and I am very grateful that she has decided to flip or spin. I've been keeping up on a lot of stretches as well to help with easing my labor things like sitting on my medicine wall doing squats just stretching out to that area I don't want to stretch it so far like my legs would or anything that it hurts but just keeping up on that doing pelvic rocks things like that but just really help out with opening up because God made us to the deck and I'm just trying to help it out a little bit. I've also not had any stretch mark issues I still use my belly butter cream that I made handmade from beginning of first trimester until now I am no stretch mark showing up anywhere so I am very grateful I hope after birth they don't show up either but that cream that I made has been a lifesaver for that I just put it on very faithfully every night and that seems to be helping with that as well I have had some swelling in my legs a little bit so I do wear compression socks and try to keep this swelling down and I've always had veins on my legs not very close just a spider veins and they have intensified here in the last trimester as well and my midwife said that she thinks they go away so I'm just hoping they do after labor but we'll see you know everything can change and be different than what you expect I've also been making sure I eat regularly I notice I do get hungrier more often I have not gained much weight in this pregnancy about 25 pounds and like I said about 37 and a half weeks pregnant right now so not a whole lot and everybody gains so much differently as long as you're eating healthy and still being a little active I think that is what you need for a healthy baby and a healthy mom we did take a Bradley method birthing class my husband and I and we really enjoyed that here in this third trimester gives my husband just a sense of power and assistance in the birthing process as well but yeah that's kind of where we're at I'm gonna do what's in my hospital bag video as well that's more budget friendly because I think that's important I don't think you need to go out and buy a ton of brand new stuff to go give birthing that's just not something that I think you need so stay tuned for that coming up and hopefully I don't have a little baby before these get up as well but I'm kind of below some things that have been challenging for you if you're praying that in your third trimester or that things you've been doing to help ease your birth and it'd be kind of fun to know if you're praying it what type of birth you're gonna do is a water birth and in-home birth are you going to be medicated I just I'd be kind of fun to read and I'd like to know so anyways don't forget thumbs up subscribe if you're new and I'll do a little belly update I definitely have grown a lot I feel like my husband even said so in the last few days so there it is I do feel like I've dropped because I definitely carry very very high so yeah there's that my lovely belly shot so anyways have a great and wonderful day and I'll talk with you in the next one bye
