Week 37: Understanding Interventions And Managing Birth Anxiety

Welcome to Hello Bump, a podcast about what you’re not expecting when you’re expecting.

In this episode, hosts Jana Pittman and Grace Rouvray discover your baby is around the length of a leek or the size of a watermelon! At week 37, you’re officially full term and your baby will be around 2.9–3kg in size. Jana explains the things your body will start to do as you approach birth. Plus, Grace asks about managing anxiety around birth interventions including epidurals, inductions, forceps and C-sections.
