Parent Pod from BabyCentre - 28 weeks pregnant

You’ll be saying hello to the third trimester this week. Listen to find out how your baby is developing as you hit this exciting milestone. There are some reasons that you may need another scan – we talk to a sonographer about why this could be. Also this week, you could be experiencing itchy skin – try not to scratch! We have the tips you need to cope. Plus, we help you to reassure your partner that it’s still okay to have sex if everything’s going well. And hear about additions to your hospital bag that you may not have thought of.

The Parent Pod is hosted by Lucy Toseland-Bolton and Claire Mutimer, both mums to young children and both BabyCentre parents. It is produced by BabyCentre UK and Tin Shed Productions. Download all 48 episodes now.
