What should I eat in my third trimester for normal delivery?

I am a 28 year old pregnant woman. What should I eat in my third trimester for normal delivery?

5 Answers

A healthy diet like you have hopefully been eating during pregnancy. Normal delivery is NOT equated with the third trimester diet.
Lots of fruits and vegetables. If you have questions about specific food talk to your MD.
You have no restrictions in the third trimester unless you are a gestational diabetic.

Food does not influence your mode of delivery. Stay active, exercise, and eat healthy. There is no way you can control your mode of delivery due to multiple factors like shape and diameters of your pelvis, size of your baby, etc. Discuss further with your OBGyn.
Take care and stay healthy!
Nothing that you eat in your 3rd trimester will guarantee a normal delivery.
