Birth
A baby is considered to have been born full-term if it is
born in weeks 37 to 42 of pregnancy. A baby born before
week 37 is considered premature, and if your baby has not
been born by week 42, labour may be induced.

How to be prepared for giving birth

It’s important to eat healthy food –especially protein-, and
try to rest as much as possible.
Stay nourished, hydrated and rested also make sure you
eat well-balanced meals with proteins, vegetables and
whole grains so that you are nourished and ready to birth
your baby. Drinking 8 glasses of fresh water everyday is
important to help you labour efficiently.
How to stay healthy
To give your baby a healthy start, it’s important
to eat healthy foods throughout pregnancy.
Ensure your diet is varied and includes a range of
fresh fruit and vegetables as well as sources of
protein, iron and calcium. Don’t forget to drink
plenty of water too. Weight gain is a normal part
of pregnancy and most women can expect to gain
between 11 and 16kg. A pregnancy weight gain
calculator can be a handy tool to track your
weight gain through the third trimester. Try to
stay active throughout pregnancy, even in your
third trimester. While it's important to stick with
safe, gentle exercise as you get closer to your due
date
Things to consider
As you enter the third trimester don’t forget to:
• back a hospital bag.
• book a hospital/birthing centre tour.
• arrange a properly-fitted car seat (to bring
your baby home).
• consider what you will need when you
bring your baby home, what will you buy.
• if you have other children (or pets), plan for
their care while you are in hospital
• cook double portions through your third
trimester, and load your freezer for when
things get busy once the baby is born.
