Third Trimester: Week 32 Pregnancy Recap

Another week down and another week closer to meeting baby.

If there’s one word that can describe the third trimester so far, it would be…bittersweet.

I still can’t believe that it’s been 8 months already and how fast time has flown by. I still remember being in the first trimester and feeling like I’ve got a longgg way to go.

As the end of this pregnancy journey is nearing, I am focusing solely on labor preparation; physically in my body, positively in my mind and peacefully in my soul.

The countdown continues…8 more weeks to go!

Third Trimester: Week 32 Pregnancy Recap

Symptoms

Nausea

Felt a hint of this a few times this week. I’m actually very glad it’s not full blown like the first trimester.

I have heard that this symptom can come back in the third trimester stronger than ever and so far it’s been pretty good for me. Keeping my fingers crossed it stays this way!

Braxton Hicks

This symptom was intense this week. I definitely felt the contractions more than last week. I do notice it tends to happen more often if I’ve been on my feet too long or feeling a bit dehydrated.

Pause here and save this pin for later!

Mood & Energy

My mood was much better than last week. Felt like myself again with high energy levels and kept up with my gym routine of 4 days a week which was awesome!

I do think I will stop going to the gym in a few weeks though since it’s a bit far of a drive being preggos and all.

I had Braxton hicks one of the days at the gym. So I had to stop and sit on a mat for about 15 minutes to relax but definitely wasn’t able to drive until I felt better.

So I’ll be making the most out of my gym days the next few weeks!

Cravings

Had a sudden craving for tiramisu and chocolate lava cake this week! Sadly, when I finally got the dessert, it didn’t taste as good as I thought it would in my mind. Was a little disappointed but oh well…

Favorites This Week

IKEA LINDBYN Gold Mirror – I’ve always loved round mirrors and this one was perfect for the nursery. I love how large it is (31.5 inches in diameter) and the gold metal frame really makes it pop!

IKEA BEKVÄM Spice Rack – Got 3 of these for the nursery as well. Love how inexpensive ($8.99) they are compared to all the other floating shelves I’ve seen. They’re also not too big and bulky which is perfect for baby stuff!
