Drink plenty of water
Keep a bottle next to your bed because you'll wake up parched.
And also Vaseline for your lips.
Talcum powder is a girl's best friend!
I suffered terrible chafed thighs in the heat.
It was unbearably painful, so Baby Powder talcum powder became my best friend.
I had to wear a pair of cut-down tights under my maxi dress just so I could walk!
I carry the talc in my handbag at all times.
Big knickers!
My mum Kathy bought them for me from Primark - they're really cheap and comfortable.
I could have kissed her when I wore them.
So throw out the thong asap and while you’re at it, invest in a good comfortable maternity bra.
Moisturise every day
My obstetrician bought me Clarins Huile oil to prevent stretch marks and I haven't got a single one.
I slather my body in it now because it smells so nice.
Ditch the heavy baggage
Mum is always telling me off for carrying a heavy bag, so I now keep them really light or I get back and shoulder pain.
And relax!
Don't feel guilty for putting your feet up and watching daytime telly.
I love watching ‘Judge Rinder’ as I would never have been home otherwise. Sitting there and watching daytime telly is new for me.
In the past I'd feel I should be doing something.
