how do you destress?????
would love to get some tips from you ladies.
everything that usually helps me i cant do
cant work out like a beast.
walking only hurts my swollen feet more.
eating to excess is out lol
shopping....eh saving for baby stuff!
and sex...well its been 8 months without so lets not fix what aint broke lol jk
so what helps you when you get worked up?
i love my reading but when i am accutely anxious/or feeling stressed or sicky it aint cutting it anymore.

Re: how do you destress?????
Totally crashing, but here's some that might work...
go for a mani/pedi - extra foot massage 
put your feet up and Watch your fav shows... nothing like stupid reality shows to make yourself feel better about your life 
order in from your fav restaurant
massage... either from DH or go to a place
long shower (I remember not being allowed to bath)
in this weather just sit outside with a magazine and relax.
make yourself a virgin drink... Maybe a smoothy, I like sprite with a splash of cran juice. LOL

Re: how do you destress?????
I put my feet up and listen to music... I either listen to really nice classical music like mozart or beethovan OR just listen to some of my fave music... I close my eyes, control my breathing and just relax...
I also meditate when I get really bad anxiety or stress and its been amazingly helpful!

Re: how do you destress?????
just echoing what other posters have said. Music is what calms me down. I work long hours at a stressful job and commute 1.5 hours each way. The way I'm managing it all is to create a third trimester soundtrack on my ipod and listen to it during each leg of my commute.
I've chosen songs that remind me of my baby, and others that I just feel give me perspective. The playlist keeps expanding, but right now, it contains songs from people like the Foo Fighters, Colin Hay, even Bob Marley. On the way to work, it helps me feel like I can handle what's to come my way that day, and on the way home, it helps me to let everything go.
