Childbirth

Childbirth

Preparation for child birth

Diet

The size of your baby makes digestion difficult for you. Eat several small meals consisting mainly of stewed fruit, cereals and dairy products instead of big lunches or dinners.

Medical examination

Regular visits to the doctor are recommended during the last month until the baby is born. Your doctor should review with you labour and delivery, answer any questions, and reassure you about any concerns

Common disturbances

During the final weeks, the increasing size of your abdomen may intensify any discomforts you may experience, such as breathlessness, insomnia, involuntary urinary incontinence, varicose veins and hemorrhoids.

Exceeding the normal term

If the date of your scheduled delivery passes, be patient because this date falls within a range of 38 to 42 weeks. But, beginning with the 41st week, it is in your best interest to be monitored every other day, preferably in the hospital.
