Event Schedule Hall: Third Trimester

During weeks 32 to 36 of pregnancy, your baby usually rotates so that their head points down, getting ready for birth. This important stage is called the cephalic or vertex presentation. It is the natural way for your baby to prepare, aiming for the best position to be born. Most babies move into this head-down spot by week 32, but it’s normal if it happens a little later-even just before labor starts. You and your baby will notice changes: your body readies itself and you might sense more pressure low in your pelvis as your baby's head settles in place.

As you reach weeks 28 to 32 of your pregnancy, you are now in the third trimester. This stage is marked by fast growth for your baby, new reactions to the world outside, and important final touches to their body systems. Your baby is not just growing passively anymore-they are starting to respond to light and sound from outside the womb and showing clearer patterns of being awake and asleep. Every movement you feel, no matter how small, is a sign of the amazing development happening inside you.

Between weeks 24 and 27 of pregnancy, your baby is getting ready for life outside the womb. This is when they start practicing breathing movements and continue to put on more weight. During this stretch of time, their organs are developing quickly, and their body is preparing for birth by building up fat and muscle.
