is going on with you during week 30? |

Your breasts now contain colostrum - the
sweet, yellowish, nutrient and antibody
rich fluid which is your baby's first food.
It plays a vital role in providing your
baby nourishment while your body prepares
to switch into breast milk production mode.
Colostrum production stops after 3-5 days
after your baby is born and is replaced
with breast milk. If you are beginning to
feel tired or listless, it might be worth
cutting back your work hours or stopping
work altogether sooner rather than later.
Discuss these options with your partner,
doctor and your employer. |

It is not unusual to have a sudden burst
of energy during the final trimester; many
women start to clean up or do up baby's
room. This is referred to as the 'nesting'
instinct and the plus side is you feel better
about your surroundings and have more time
to spend with your baby once it arrives.
On the downside, you end up tiring yourself.
You are going to need all the energy once
your labor starts so if cleaning or decorating
is necessary, enlist help of others. |
