The third trimester runs from week 28 through to birth (typically around week 40). This is the home stretch, where sleep gets harder, comfort gets harder to find, and most mums-to-be focus on birth prep and packing the hospital bag. The NHS recommends having your hospital bag ready by week 36 since around 1 in 20 babies arrive before 37 weeks.
BABYGO third trimester essentials focus on comfort, sleep, and birth prep. A pregnancy pillow becomes critical because side-sleeping is the only safe option from week 28. A birthing ball helps with pelvic positioning during the final weeks, and a properly-stocked hospital bag means one less thing to think about when contractions start.
