How Your Besties Can Make This Journey Extra Special: The Power of Friendship

Oh, the glorious third trimester! That magical time when everyone you know has opinions about your belly button’s shape and whether it’s a sign of a baby boy or girl. It's also when you're counting down the days and trying to resist the urge to Google "eject button for babies." Yep, we see you! But let us not forget the unsung heroes of our pregnancy journey—our best friends. Because let's be honest, without them, who would laugh at your half-hearted attempts to shave your own legs?

Your BFFs Are Your Fairy Godmothers in Leggings

When you’re a walking, talking, pregnancy glow bomb, your friends are the ones who will tell you the truth (that pregnancy glow is actually because you're sweating). They’re the ones who will gladly be on food patrol and make sure that the takeout restaurant knows not to forget your extra pickles. Moreover, they are the keepers of all your pregnancy woes—balloon feet, fatigue, and that one time you cried because the squirrels outside seemed "really sad." They got your back, girl.

Warning: Friends May Help You Build a Crib or Rally for Team No Crib. Choose Wisely.

The Snack Heist: A Cautionary Tale

One of the more crucial roles your friends will play during your third trimester is that of the Snack Guardian—or perhaps, the Snack Bandit. Let’s face it, friends can be your partners in crime when it comes to indulging in those oh-so-necessary preg

nancy cravings. So, when you've got a craving for triple-layer chocolate cake, they're right there with a fork ready.

They can also be the fiends who finish the last granola bar when you’ve been dreaming about it all day. No worries, though, because they’ll make it up to you by buying that granola bar, plus several others, plus the ice cream sundae you didn’t need but absolutely wanted.

Third Trimester Adventures: DIY or Die Laughing

Your friends also make everything better when you're getting lost in the tangled jungle of "DIY nursery decor" videos or navigating the overwhelming world of onesies. They may not know a swaddle from a bib, but they’ll come equipped with half-baked crafts and ridiculous suggestions that turn ordinary baby showers into an epic extravaganza.

And let's not forget, these friends are perfectly fine with your idea of exercise: waddling to the nearest beanbag or making a valiant attempt to get out of a hammock. Trust me, your activewear leggings will never judge. Whether you’re already planning your postpartum fitness routine or simply lounging through every trimester, we’ve got you covered.

Hormonal Rages and Hilarious Outbursts

Ah, the emotional rollercoaster. One minute, you're head over heels in love with a

tiny onesie, and the next, you're openly weeping because the dog on TV found its bone. But fear not—in these moments of hormonal turmoil, your friends artfully morph into comedians or therapists. They will gladly calm you down with stories of their own awkward mishaps, or join you on your wild quest to mysteriously find every planned baby name suddenly inexplicably hideous.

And remember, your closest pals are the ones who will polish up your pregnancy brain blunders into comedy gold. No need to be mortified when you forget common words mid-sentence and start pointing at "the thingy"—they got your back and probably have already predicted what you're going to say next anyway!

Stay Cozy, and Plan Future Playdates

Let’s face it: your friends make everything better. With them, you can talk dreams, significant decisions, and worries about being a mumma without the judgment. They're your confidantes, sounding boards, and future playdate partners. And if a little retail therapy is in order, give each of them a task to track down the perfect maternity leggings.

Sure, your friends don’t have the most expansive knowledge of bringing humans into the world. But they do create an incredible web of support, love, and probably the occasional unsolicited advice. Take it in stride, mama, because in this adventure called pregnancy, your besties are the secret ingredient you've been looking for.
