5.36 : Third Trimester, Hospital Bag & Labor Prep: What No One Actually Tells You Before

You're in the third trimester. You're uncomfortable. Someone keeps asking if you've packed your hospital bag and you want to throw something.

Same, honestly.

This week Amanda and Jessie are getting into the reality of the third trimester, no fluff, no perfectly curated bump photos, just the actual truth about what's happening to your body, your brain, and your to-do list before this baby arrives.

Amanda is 34 weeks pregnant with her third baby and sharing what feels completely different this time, how she's preparing for labor with two kids already running chaos at home, and what she's actually doing (and not doing) differently.

In this episode:

What to actually expect in the third trimester (the stuff nobody posts about)
34 weeks pregnant symptoms and the realities that hit different with each pregnancy
Hospital bag essentials vs. everything you'll never touch
What you actually need to know before labor and delivery
Preparing for baby #3 with two kids already at home
The things no one tells you before you give birth

Because the third trimester is overwhelming, uncomfortable, and full of unknowns — and you deserve someone to be honest with you about it.

You're not alone in this stage. Promise.

This episode is for moms navigating the third trimester, preparing for labor, and getting ready to meet their baby.
