3 amazing things…

That happen at the end of pregnancy & you didn’t even know about!

The last few weeks of pregnancy are the hardest… emotionally and physically.

You’ve been growing and nurturing your baby for 9 months and you are now ready to meet them! Your body may be aching and stretching a little bit more, the night time toilet trips etc… we’ve been there, we get it!

That unknown feeling of when you will go into labour and the never ending text messages asking if “you’re still pregnant” – gosh, we hate those!

Is this you? The good new is that you are not alone!

These are all common things to happen in the last few weeks before you get to meet your babba.

So let us help you take your mind off things …. Here are 3 AMAZING things your body is doing just before you go into labour:

#1 Getting Baby’s Lungs ready for the outside world!

Previously, it was believed that your baby’s lungs would be fully developed by 37 weeks gestation, but what we do know now is that their little lungs continue to develop and mature up until they are born! AMAZING!

#2 Developing Baby’s Brain!

Did you know that your baby’s brain almost DOUBLES in size between 35-39 weeks gestation? Oh yeh, no wonder they are such clever little things!

Come on little Einstens !!! Your family is ready to meet you!

#3 Liver Development

Very much like the lungs, the liver continues to develop until later on in pregnancy, which can help prevent your baby being jaundiced!

Mother nature is truly amazing! Be sure to know baby will come when baby is ready! You got this!
