What to Do in Your Last Trimester?

The long stretch of 9 months journey has begun. After the first six months comes the last trimester, it extends from week 28 to week 40. It is a long time for a pregnant woman. It is during this period that a woman undergoes many body changes that take place to create an ecosystem for life growing inside her.

What are the steps and measures that are needed to be performed and preserved during the last trimester (28-40 weeks)?

The last trimester is important as labor closes in. It is the most vital period when one should be prepared to rush to the hospital anytime and thus should communicate well with the doctor accordingly throughout the whole period.

  • In this particular period, the pregnant prospect needs to be intimated and knowledgeable about any or all kinds of delivery options, for instance, drug-free vaginal delivery, vaginal delivery with pain relief, and caesarean section.
  • A fully packed bag of assortments and utilities need to be kept ready for any case of emergency or labor.
  • Due to the presence of prolactin, the tendency to sleep might even be more significant than what was during the first trimester.
  • Maintaining the diet and taking small meals throughout the day is essential to have a healthy last trimester.
  • Just like the first two trimesters, it is essential to stay away from alcohol intake, smoking and drugs to ensure that the baby remains healthy.
