    Actually one thing I'm super glad I did from the moment I got a BFP is walk heaps because I had no idea i would get to the third trimester and find walking so hard! For the first seven and a half months I walked at around 40 minutes a day. After that the baby got too low and heavy and I couldn't walk far without immense pelvic and abdominal pressure. Now baby is partially engaged it is super hard! But I've still been walking slowly and for shorter distances about every second day too. Plus my yoga as I mentioned in my first post.

    So I'd highly recommend being diligent with some sort of gentle exercise routine early on and for as long as possible because you never know what the body will do and feel like in the final weeks.

    i agree with the exercise.. i did alot of walking..
    I did have the respberry leaf tea from about 35-36 weeks.. dont know if it helped but it doesnt hurt and i def will be doing that again..
    Best of luck.. having a positive out look is awesome and the power of a positive mind is a very powerful thing
