The Third Trimester of Pregnancy

The Third Trimester of Pregnancy

The pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks. Weeks are divided into three trimesters. The third trimester covers 28 to 40 weeks of pregnancy.

The third trimester can be physically and emotionally challenging for a pregnant woman. The baby is considered a complete fetal at the end of week 37 and is only a matter of time before the baby is born. Researching and understanding what to expect during the third trimester can help alleviate any anxiety you may have during the final stages of your pregnancy.

Woman’s body during the third trimester:

In the third trimester a woman may experience more pain, pain, and swelling as she continues to cycle around her baby. A pregnant woman may begin to worry about her delivery.

Other events that take place during the third period include:

• Many movements made by the child

• A severe cervical abnormality called Braxton-Hick contractions, which is completely random and often painful

• go to the toilet often

• Heartbeat

• Swollen joints, fingers, or face

• Hemorrhoids

• Soft breasts may leak skim milk

Call your doctor immediately if you encounter:

• Critical contracts for increased stability and frequency

A fetus during the third trimester:

At about 32 weeks, your baby's bones are completely formed. The baby is now able to open and close the eyes and bright light. The baby's body will start to store minerals like iron and calcium.

By week 36, the baby should be at a low level of headache. If the baby does not fit into this position, your doctor may try to move the baby's place or recommend that you have a cesarean section. This is when the doctor performs cuts on the mother's belly and uterus to deliver the baby.

After 37 weeks, your baby is considered to be a complete tablet and their organs are ready to work on their own. According to the Office of Women's Health, the baby is now around 19 to 21 inches and probably weighs between 6 and 9 pounds.

What is expected of a doctor?

You will meet with your doctor every third time. At approximately the 36th week, your doctor can do a B strep test to test a potential bacterium for a baby. Your doctor will prescribe antibiotics when you test positive for HIV.

Your doctor will check if you are progressing to a vaginal examination. Your cervix will be small and soft as it is close to your day to help open the cervix during the birth process.
