You are so fortunate to be pregnant in April and May, because pregnancy is a very snuggly time of life, and winter is the snuggle season, after all. Embrace it by spending more time on the couch, going to bed earlier, lying in on weekends and spoiling yourself with some soft new clothes and long, indulgent warm (not hot) baths. I also insist that you insist on being served tea at the TV or while you read this issue of Your Pregnancy. And how about a lovely sandwich with that? Be sure to show your partner the recipes on page 88. Lack of kitchen skills is no excuse – anyone can make a sandwich! Being a bit of a hermit while you grow your baby is perfectly fine. Some quiet time now will stand you in good stead for becoming a busy mom with a demanding newborn soon. Focus on being rested and relaxed so that you can use every ounce of your energy towards the birth. The only downside to winter is of course the greater likelihood of getting a cold or the flu. But, as always, we have your back with some great advice for how to deal with these nasties in a way that won’t put your baby at risk, on page 60 and 62. Stay warm and stay healthy and let us know how your winter pregnancy is going... Greetings,
