Your body is ready for labor, and we're just sitting here waiting for the mysterious, miraculous process to officially begin. Baby will be here very soon!XO, TeamMotherlyP.S. If you want to learn and practice labor coping skills, it's not too late to take Motherly's on-demand video birth class, which comes with bonus mp3 birth meditations you can use during labor.

Rest up, mama —22 weeks pregnant

Being a sleepy girl with a busy life is hard. Sleep when the baby sleeps, they say. Well, are you lying down? Because now your sleepy little baby now has distinct periods of activity and rest, and may even react to loud sounds like your dog barking or fave workout music playing. (AWWW! ?) You may also be noticing your own body changing—stretch marks, weight gain and slightly swollen hands and feet. So take the break that you deserve from all this human-growing work, and schedule a Babymoon for the next 10 weeks. Rest and recharge, lady. Your baby will be here before you know it. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Worried about COVID? Here's everything we know so far.
