Your third trimester
Are you getting excited to meet your new baby? There’s a lot to do during this final chapter of your pregnancy — some fun things, like decorating your baby’s room, and some not-so-fun things, like trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in. As you prepare for labor, childbirth, and life with your little one, we’re here to help ease the way.
Here are some things you’ll need to get ready:
- Packing your bag for delivery day: Download and print a checklist of what to bring to the hospital.
- Counting kicks: Learn more about using a kick card to track your baby’s activity.
- Making your birth plan: Help us make your labor experience as comfortable as we can.
- New baby essentials: Use our checklist to make sure you get everything your baby needs.
- What to do if your baby is overdue: After 40 weeks of pregnancy, we’ll help you explore your options.
