In your third trimester, your baby is getting ready for his or her first glimpse of the world. Their body is laying down fat and their senses are becoming more finely tuned, which makes them more reactive. It’s so exciting to think that, very soon, you’ll see the result of all of this development for yourself when you get your very first cuddle! And if you have any questions or worries about the birth, we’re here to put your mind at rest.
