How to Be a Supportive Partner During the Third Trimester

Know your own stress triggers as your partner’s pregnancy progresses. Men gained an average of three to four pounds during their partners’ pregnancies, according to a recent study. Additionally, first-time fathers often overate and drank when stressed. Give your partner a listening ear so they can express any worries or worries they may be experiencing as your baby’s due date approaches.

Do some extra housework without being asked, prepare delectable meals that satisfy her cravings, and make sure you both eat well.

Be a helpful and engaged teammate by offering to accompany her to doctor’s appointments so you can both learn vital details about pregnancy and infant health.

Key Takeaways at 37 Weeks Pregnant

Some light spotting may occur at 37 weeks, and you might notice more vaginal discharge than usual. This is normal. However, if you lose your mucus plug or notice more than a little blood, call your doctor right away. It’s important to review the signs of labor (more below!).

Baby probably weighs a healthy 6 pounds—give or take. But that doesn’t mean they’re fully cooked yet. They could benefit from another two or three weeks in utero—even though you’ve got that “stick-a-fork-in-me” feeling.

Around week 37 of pregnancy, many moms-to-be find themselves organizing cupboards and scrubbing floors. That’s the phenomenon people lovingly refer to as “nesting.” It may be instinctual—your body senses baby will be here really soon. After all, you’re 37 weeks pregnant, which is considered “early term,” meaning baby is almost ready.

Baby is practicing some fun new abilities, including sucking, gripping, blinking, and inhaling and exhaling. Less endearing news is that the infant is preparing to poop their first meconium, or sticky poop, for their first diaper.

Symptoms at 37 weeks gestation can be mistaken for labor signs. Here’s what you might be feeling this week:

As your due date approaches, the baby continues to exert pressure on your digestive system. To avoid heartburn, stay away from spicy foods and consume lots of water.

Remember that your cervix is extra sensitive while you are pregnant, so having sex can irritate it and cause it to bleed, so a little bit of spotting at week 37 of pregnancy is normal. However, if there are more than a few drops of blood, call your doctor. It’s critical to seek treatment as soon as possible if you experience vaginal bleeding because it may indicate a placenta problem (such as placental abruption). Additionally, don’t confuse spotting or bleeding with the “bloody show,” a discharge that has a faint bloody tint and indicates that your cervix is changing in preparation for delivery.

Sorry, but your 37-week pregnant belly might start to develop new stretchies every week from now on. Always have body oil on hand, and apply it whenever you can. Additionally, even though you’re using the restroom, oh, every two minutes, keep drinking a lot of water.

Your abdomen is under more pressure if your baby has lowered into your pelvis in preparation for labor. As a result, you may experience some new pains and aches below, as well as a stronger urge to urinate.

Late in a pregnancy, it’s common to wake up in the middle of the night. Get plenty of light exercise throughout the day, drink lots of water (except right before bed), and cut back on caffeine intake are some methods for increasing your amount of ZZZs.

At 37 weeks, cramping or contractions are to be expected. Because your body is preparing for labor and delivery, you may find that contractions subside if you sit or lie down. That means they’re Braxton Hicks, not real labor contractions.

Almost always during pregnancy, an upset stomach is a given. However, given that you are so close to your due date, it might be a sign that you will soon go into labor. (Whoa!) Tell your OB if your nausea is severe—especially if you’re vomiting—so they can rule out an illness or a pregnancy complication like HELLP or preeclampsia.
