Third Trimester Workouts & Birth Prep | How to Train, Breathe & Fuel for Labour (Science-Backed)
The third trimester is not the time to stop moving — it’s the most important phase of pregnancy training.
In this episode of Giggles & Glutes, Zoë and Donaé break down exactly how to train during the third trimester to prepare your body for labour, protect your core and pelvic floor, fuel your body properly, and support both physical and mental wellbeing in the final weeks of pregnancy.
We cover:
• How to train for labour like an athletic event
• The best exercises for endurance, strength, and pelvic mobility
• Core and pelvic floor support vs release
• Breathwork techniques that matter during labour
• Nutrition needs in the third trimester (including calories & quality)
• Sleep position safety after 28 weeks
• The emotional and psychological changes of late pregnancy
This is the final prep phase before birth, and every smart choice you make now sets you up for a smoother labour and better postpartum recovery.
👉 Subscribe so you don’t miss the final episode of this pregnancy training series — where we break down postpartum recovery and benefits for baby.
