Pregnancy – The Third Trimester

During the third trimester of pregnancy you will continue to experience many physical and emotional changes. As your pregnancy draws to a close the last few months can feel like an eternity. Make sure you are taking care of yourself and getting plenty of rest.

The third trimester will bring many challenges due to the increasing size of your belly. It may be difficult to sleep as you can not get comfortable you will also be making numerous trips the bathroom as the baby presses on your bladder. This seems to be exaggerated when you lie down and thus presents a greater problem when you try to sleep as opposed to during the day.

Other symptoms of the third trimester you may experience are headaches and back pain, excessive gas and heartburn, constipation and other digestive problems. Try not to get overwhelmed you will not necessarily experience each and every symptom; even if you do you will get through it.
