Can I wear sunscreen? ✅>
Yes mummy please wear sunscreen! Just make sure that it is safe to use for pregnant women, and that it doesn't corrode the corals, if you're planning to swim in the ocean. Also don't get those that have whitening ingredients in them as they may be harmful to the baby.
Can I wear plastic jewelry? ✅>
Yes mum-to-be, but keep in mind that pregnancy is likely to make your skin more sensitive. If you feel any discomfort, taking out your jewelry may be your best option.
Can I have a bubble bath? ✅>

Activities you should avoid in third trimester

Can I play flag football? ❌>
For expecting mums like yourself, exercising during pregnancy is safe. However, Flag Football and other high-impact sports are not recommended. Be sure to check with your doctor if they will give you the go-signal.
Can I skip rope? ❌>
Don't do it, mummy! This may be too rigorous an exercise for this time. Though exercise is good for you during your pregnancy, the jumping up and down may be detrimental to your baby, and may even induce a miscarriage, YIKES!
Can I play football? ❌>
Hi, mummy! Football is a rough game that involves endurance, stamina, and physical contact. This may not be the best trifecta to pregnant mummies. If you really do play, maybe you should ask your doctor first before continuing to do so. But if you are in your last trimester, this sport may tire you out more than give you a good exercise, so maybe it would be good to sit on the sidelines, just for now.
