Third Trimester of Pregnancy

Focus on:

• Continue eating a balanced, nutritious diet
• Eat small, frequent meals to avoid heartburn
• Stay hydrated to prevent swelling and constipation
• Foods rich in vitamin K for blood clotting
• Avoid lying down immediately after eating

Preparing for labor: Some women eat dates in the final weeks as studies suggest they may help with cervical ripening and labor progression. Always consult your healthcare provider before making dietary changes.
