Good Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy

You may have felt a few contractions already and wondered if this is it. Try not to worry, as you are very unlikely to miss the start of labour.

You have reached 40 weeks, your estimated due date. It is worth remembering that this date is an average rather than a deadline.

As your due date gets closer, your body is quietly gearing up for breastfeeding while your baby works on gaining weight and getting into position.

With six weeks or so left to go, your body and your baby are both getting ready for the big day in their own ways.

With your bump at its biggest yet, even everyday tasks can feel like a workout this week.

You might suddenly find yourself breathing more easily this week, and that's not a coincidence.

With just a few weeks to go, you're likely feeling a mix of excitement and nerves, and that's completely normal.

You're in the final week of your second trimester, and there's a lot happening for your baby, from opening her eyes for the first time to reacting to sounds from outside the womb.
