Before you reach the Terminator: Bed Rest Mode level, schedule regular check-ins with your inner circle. Whether it's a 'pickles and prenatal chat' over Zoom or a barefoot walk around the block (yes, shoes can be overrated), make time for your pals. It's a chance to vent about baby names or discuss which celebrity mum you'd let babysit if given the chance. (Beyoncé, if you're reading this, I have references!)
