The Tdap vaccine is recommended during pregnancy, ideally between weeks 27 and 36, so protective antibodies pass to your baby before birth — protecting them in their first fragile weeks.

From 28 weeks, going to sleep on your side is safer for the baby than lying flat on your back, according to UK guidance. A pillow between the knees makes it comfortable.

This is a good time to discuss birth preferences, pain relief options and who will be with you. A flexible written plan helps your care team support what matters to you.
