Third Trimester of Pregnancy Nutrition Guide

The third trimester is when your baby gains the most weight, builds vital nutrient stores, and prepares for life outside the womb and your nutrition plays a direct role in all of it!

That’s why I developed the Third Trimester Pregnancy Nutrition Guide.

I’m Liz, a Registered Nurse and Kinesiologist, certified as a Birth & Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Breastfeeding Specialist, and the founder of Komphort Maternity. This guide was created alongside a Registered Nutritionist and Dietitian with both clinical and one-on-one coaching experience to ensure it’s evidence-based and practical.

This guide goes beyond general pregnancy nutrition advice. It’s a research-informed resource designed for the unique demands of late pregnancy, when energy needs increase, digestion slows, and your body is preparing for labor, birth, and recovery.

Inside the guide, you’ll get:

• Which nutrients are most important in the final weeks of pregnancy and how they support baby’s growth and maternal reserves
• How to build balanced third trimester meals without overeating or under-fueling
• Easy, nourishing recipes that support digestion, energy levels, and blood sugar balance
• A streamlined grocery list to make shopping simple and stress-free
• Guidance on foods to limit or avoid as you approach birth
• Practical nutrition strategies to support common third trimester discomforts and help prepare your body for postpartum healing
