Your Pregnancy

From the editor

- HELEN SCHÖER

The last weeks of pregnancy can feel like the slowest weeks of your life. You’re so tired, but can’t find a comfortabl­e position to rest in. You’re hungry, but feel full after a few bites, as there just isn’t any more room in your body. You get back to your desk only to find you need the loo again – you wish you could drive there instead of walk, but your arms hardly reach the steering wheel anymore either. And when you finally fall asleep, it only lasts about five minutes before you get a firm baby kick in the bladder or a head-butt under your rib. You wake up craving fish paste on strawberri­es, now! As tedious and frustratin­g as it all feels, please believe me that you are already making precious memories. Sooner than you know, you’ll be holding your baby and you’ll be so busy that you might find yourself missing the long, slow days of your pregnancy. While you wait, take every opportunit­y you can to put your feet up with your favourite magazine. We’ve redesigned this month to make it an even better read than before. Ask your partner to put the kettle on, settle in somewhere cosy and start paging. And please let us know what you think.
