Faites les bons choix pour votre préparation à l'accouchement

Week 37. Your pregnancy is now considered early term. Your baby weighs about 2.9kg and is essentially fully developed. Birth could happen any time in the next few weeks — and your perineal massage routine is paying off.

You have made it to week 34. Your baby is about the size of a cantaloupe, your belly is definitely in the way, and birth is roughly 6 weeks away. This is the week most healthcare professionals recommend starting perineal massage — and it is also a great time to start pulling together the rest of your birth preparation.

Week 38. You are full term. Your baby weighs about 3.1kg and could arrive any day. If you have been doing perineal massage since week 34, you have had 4+ weeks of consistent practice. 

Week 33. Your baby weighs about 1.9kg, and you are entering the home stretch. Birth is about 7 weeks away, and this is the perfect week to prepare for starting perineal massage next week.

Welcome to week 35. Your baby weighs about 2.4kg, and you are now roughly 5 weeks from your due date. If you started perineal massage last week, this week is about building consistency. If your have a normal pregnancy and your healthcare provider approves it, start. It is not too late.

Week 36. You are officially one month from your due date. Your baby weighs about 2.7kg, and if you have been doing perineal massage since week 34, you are now 2-3 weeks into your routine.
