After the children have gone to bed that is when you're really tired.
De stressing is incredibly important and I need to take the time out now to do it but stuck for ideas.

A bath for me is painful 39 weeks pregnant.
As soon as I put the TV on I fall asleep :/

I play games on my phone or iPad. Or read a book or magazine. If you are falling asleep in front of the TV though, sounds like you are tired enough to be going to sleep. Sleep is the ultimate relaxation surely!

I don't know, I don't seem to have 5 minutes. I've been attempting last week's episode of benidorm every night but I just fall asleep half way through. I feel like I have no me time

Weed and sex. Wouldn't recommend the former whilst pregnant, I imagine you could have thought of the latter yourself should it work for you. Bit of online Scrabble is always nice, and if you've a spark of competitiveness in you you won't let yourself fall asleep.

Smoke a bowl, work on my sea glass, draw, read, knit, paint....hence my studio full if half done projects!Grin

Sorry, should also mention my kids are grown

I struggle to relax but I use music, chill out or classical. Meditation is good. I use teas. Pukka teas are good. I drink love and nighttime because they contain relaxing herbs.

If you’re falling asleep then tbh I’d just go to bed. I know it’s probsbly not the most comfortable at 39 weeks pregnant but it’s lovely to retire to bed with a kindle/book/podcast Smile

Spoog1971xx · 25/03/2018 23:01

Gin, weed, Valium

DarkStuff · 25/03/2018 23:07

Masturbation and knitting.
Not at the same time though!

Pixiedust1973 · 25/03/2018 23:11

I was going to say beer, then I saw that you're pregnant...

Mine is:
Someone else tidying the house and the bathrooms being cleaned, then having a bath with oils and smellies and candles. Full pamper, then retire to my bedroom with a brew, some nice supper and bbc iplayer / a good book. Always sleep well after that!
