Third trimester advice/tips?

Question

28 weeks today! I am a bundle of stress and back pain and have no clue what I’m doing because I can’t seem to get my doctor to communicate me with me 🙃
Had to reschedule my appointment because of Covid so I still haven’t gotten my RhoGam shot or done my glucose test and I don’t know what everyone means when they talk about counting kicks. 
What all had your doctor been telling you to do for the 3rd trimester?

Answer

I have bad back pain too! Just the fun things of the third trimester. Get you a maternity belt. It helps hold baby up and takes some pressure off of your back. Doesn’t work all the time, but it does help some!

Answer

Try epsom salt baths for your back pain! It’s been working wonders on my sciatica pain.

Answer

Here are the instructions my OB gave me on kick counts. I think it’s pretty standard. Hopefully it helps. I use this Glow app’s kick counter and it works perfect and keeps a log.

Answer

I’m 28 weeks as well, with baby number 2, there is honestly nothing that different with the third trimester except you get bigger. 
Counting kicks is only if you feel like the baby is moving less. You will keep track of kick for an hour then for a second hour to see if it’s the same or different then call the doctor. I have never counted kicks daily, as long as you feel them moving your okay 😁
Try not to stress and enjoy the last few months, they go by fast

Answer

You have time! It’s all very overwhelming, even for the fourth time around. Try to not let it cause too much stress. They must. It be concerned about you or baby if they are willing to push things back.
