Hello everybody. It's Kathy Fray here. Welcome to another webinar or podcast today and our topic is going to be the gestation of being around 34-35 weeks and what you should be doing on your to-do list at this stage. This is a little mini webinar or podcast that you're listening to, and I go into a lot more detail in the Members only MasterClass.
Aroudn 34-35 weeks, it becomes an in your face feeling that this baby is going to be born. If you're still thinking you've got another 5-6 weeks to go, maybe not. Don't get too fixated on the Estimated due date. You are due to give birth to this baby anytime between 37 weeks and 42 weeks. Anything before 37 weeks is premature and anything after 42 weeks is post date.
Make sure you know who you want there for labor support. Make sure those people know they need to start to be on call. You could go into labor at any point. Cultural issues at your birth. Make sure if you have any cultural religious things that you want as part of your process make sure you make your mid wife or obstrician know that. There are some beautiful traditions I have witnessed over a long time of helping babies arrive in this world and they are wonderful traditions that should continue. Make sure everybody knows.
Any other parts of your birth, make sure you've made firm decisions about. Decisions such as Vitamin-K or vaccines. Vitamin K I have a great podcast on that if you're still not sure. You' postnatal care once you get home. You do need home health once you get home. If you have a bunch of people that can be available, spread the load. Make sure they aren't all there at the same time. Spread it out over the first 4 weeks. It's nice to have somebody around all the time int hat first week or so but after that especially by the end of the 2nd week, most moms want to have some time alone. You may only want home help there 3 days a week.
Other things is make sure you're aware of the symptoms of postnatal infections, depressive disorders, make sure you're already lined up with your homeopathic, naturopathic as to your prelabor and that your cervix is ripe and ready for labor.
