📍 You are here — Week 38

Third Trimester

Week 38

Baby's gut is preparing for its greatest colonisation event: birth. Your microbiome quality directly influences your baby's first bacterial community.

Your gut slows significantly under progesterone. Constipation peaks, hemorrhoids are common. Leaky gut slightly increases — probiotics help maintain gut barrier integrity before birth.

PregBiotics Essentials + Omega. Continue 1 capsule + 1 softgel daily. Key support: Omega-3 DHA/EPA for fetal brain development, magnesium (300mg) for muscle cramps and sleep, Lactobacillus rhamnosus for GBS prevention.

💡 Always take your PregBiotics with your main meal for optimal nutrient absorption and reduced nausea.

Constipation tip: Drink 2–3 litres of water daily. Gentle walking, magnesium (in your PregBiotics), and fibre-rich foods like prunes and flaxseeds can offer relief without stimulant laxatives.
