The third trimester

My belly is really heavy, and I’m always short of breath when I move, is everything alright?

As you approach the birth of your child, you will notice that your pregnancy is becoming quite physically and emotionally demanding. Many women will feel uncomfortable due to their baby’s size and position, tending to cause shortness of breath or heartburn after eating. As you approach your due date, you may want to see your doctor more regularly to check on your baby’s health and for any signs of impending labor.

Remember that your due date is just an estimate and you may well go past it with no sign of your baby, but remember the wait is almost over!

The Role of Your Hormones in the Third Trimester

High progesterone levels help loosen the ligaments and joints throughout your body to allow your womb to expand to hold a full-term baby.

Hormones help in preparing your breasts to produce milk to feed your baby. You may find that your breasts will continue to grow and become more tender.

Some women will find they discharge small amounts of watery pre-milk called colostrum during the third trimester.

At the end of my third trimester, how big is my baby?
