Congratulations if you have reached your final trimester of pregnancy (29 to 40 weeks) – you’re almost there and will soon get to meet your beautiful baby.

By now your baby will be about the size of a butternut squash and will look a lot like the baby you will meet in about 10 weeks’ time. Over the next few weeks your baby will be adding fat under their skin and will usually double in weight during this trimester.

During the cold winter months, it’s important to take care of our skin, and while pregnant it’s even more important. As your baby and bump grows, your skin will stretch leaving it more delicate and sensitive. Constantly changing temperatures from going inside (heated environment) and out (bracing the elements) can have a negative effect on your skin and so it is important to take a few extra precautions to make sure you are more comfortable and don’t suffer with common and irritable skin complaints.

Your long awaited baby has arrived, you’ve been inundated with cards, gifts and non-stop visitors and then things start to calm down. You start to adjust to life as a new mum, but things are very different to how they were. You’re most likely on maternity leave, your sleep has definitely been interupted and when you feel like a chat or a catch-up with your friends, they are either at work or can only meet in the evenings when all you want to do is grab an early night and hope you get a few hours sleep before the first feed – things have definitely changed!
