What can I do for her when these things happen?

posted 1st Jan
Now that Caitlyn is getting further along in the pregnany (36 and a half weeks) she experiences different things and I dont know how to make her feel better or more comfortable or how to support her any more than I am. What did you ladies prefer or want when these things happen/ed?

The muscles around your womb get tired and sore (heat pack doesnt work so well because its the middle of summer here)
Baby jumps on your organs or bladder
Baby makes a movement that feels weird or not nice
You can feel baby moving near your cervix
You get frustrated with your emotions

I realise that there probably isnt much you can do for any but I just want to see if there are any I havent thought of.

Also is there anything that she may start experience?

a warm bubble bath can help relax you and take away some aches & pains. Just be there and listen when she gets emotional, even if its about something crazy

I have no problems listening and cuddling her when she gets emotional. Its more she gets frustrated cos she will just leak tears easily.

I didnt think of baths.

Foot rubs have been amazing, Emma (posted this thread) gives the best foot rubs haha

As for the Geocaching; Basically, you get coordinates, and these coordinates lead you to a place where there is something called a "cache" hidden. So you've got to look around for this cache and it's usually a little container, box, anything weatherproof, really. Inside these little things, are like, log books, so you can log your name and the date you found it. It's like a giant treasure hunt   Some even have things called "trades" in them, which can be little toys or anything, and you swap them for something of equal or greater value, so if you find one with something you really like, and would like a memento, then you can swap it with something you don't want anymore. It's pretty cool.
The site is here.

Lots of baths!
My boyfriend doesn't exactly know how to help me a lot of the time either, and it doesn't help that half the time i'm not even sure what will help lol. He just always makes it a point to ask if there's anything he can do, help with, or etc. That's a big stress reliever.

The key is just to keep her as relaxed as possible. Cuddle, rub her down with lotion, massage her, etc.
