Trimester 3
You are now on the final stretch and it is an exciting time when you finally reach the final trimester – each day bringing you closer to meeting your new baby
Trimester 2
Hopefully, if you did suffer from morning sickness, it will begin to pass now (for the vast majority it is confined to the first trimester). This is one of the reasons that the second trimester is often the time most enjoyed by mums-to-be. You can get back on track with a healthy diet full of the fresh food and important nutrients you and your baby need — to keep you going and to programme your baby for a future of good health.

Congratulations! You are setting out on the first steps of a very exciting road, and no doubt looking forward to meeting your baby at the end of these 40 weeks of pregnancy.
