THIRD TRIMESTER

The third trimester is the last phase of the pregnancy.

Only a few more weeks to go, but this part of your pregnancy can be the most challenging. 

Third trimester begins at 29 weeks and ends at 40 weeks or months 7, 8, and 9.

During this trimester, your baby changes position to get ready for birth.

In the third trimester, some women become increasingly uncomfortable as their due date nears. As the fetus grows in size and crowds the abdominal cavity, some mothers-to-be have difficulty taking deep breaths or getting comfortable at night for sleep, while others are free from any discomfort as they anxiously await the arrival of their new son or daughter.
