What to Expect in the Third Trimester?

Week 28 until the birth of your baby is known as the third trimester. The third trimester marks the home stretch, as the body prepares for the birth of your baby, the end of your pregnancy is in sight. You’re almost there! The foetus continues to grow in weight and size, and the body systems finish maturing.

During the third trimester, the baby continues to develop. The lungs and kidneys continue to mature. By the 36th week, your baby’s head may "engage" (drop into the pelvic area). This is a process called "lightening." The bones of the skull stay soft to make it easier to pass through the birth canal.

As the third trimester progresses it is very common to become more uncomfortable. As your baby grows and crowds the abdominal cavity, you may have a hard time taking deep breaths or getting comfortable at night for sleep. Making sure you can rest where possible is key in the third trimester.

Traditionally, anxiety or stress levels are known to be higher as pregnancy nears its conclusion, understandable as pre-labour nerves begin to kick in. Several changes and symptoms that your may experience during the third trimester include: Increased skin temperature as the foetus radiates body heat, causing you to feel warm/hot. The need to urinate more often because of increased pressure the baby puts on your bladder. Swelling of the ankles, hands, and face (oedema) as your body retains fluids. You may experience leg cramps may and heartburn. While false labour (Braxton-Hicks contractions) may start at irregular intervals in preparation for childbirth.

It is so important throughout your pregnancy to take care of yourself, but even more in the final trimester. Try and find ways to make sure you’re doing everything you can to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible and relax as often as possible before your little bundle of joy arrives and life gets a lot busier! Keeping you energy levels and health in check is crucial both during pregnancy and after the baby arrives.

By the end of the third trimester, your baby will be around 19 to 21 inches long and weigh between 6 to 9 pounds.
