Anxiety. This is the key word of the third trimester of pregnancy. You can already imagine how your baby is formed inside your belly and with each passing day, the desire to know the baby you are generating increases more and more.
At the same time that she does not wait for the delivery to arrive, she wonders if she will be a good mother , if she will be able to handle the work that awaits her in a few weeks. It is not difficult to find reports of women in the third trimester of pregnancy, wondering if they made a good choice in getting pregnant, be it the first, second or third pregnancy. That feeling of insecurity can knock on your door! But know that all that is is fleeting, certainly as soon as the baby is born, you will feel sufficient security, firmness and disposition to take care of your baby.
Tiredness
At this stage you can get more tired than in the second trimester of pregnancy where the mood is one of the best things that can happen after a troubled trimester full of nausea and nausea. The belly is certainly a lot heavier than before. The baby is now growing. His training is complete and he needs to stay inside the womb to gain weight and also to mature his lungs to be able to breathe on his own after birth.
Sore Movements
His nudges and movements are more intense and painful. Why does the baby like to kick mommy’s rib? Breathing then can become a not so easy task. The pressure that the baby and the constantly increasing uterus puts on during the third trimester of pregnancy against the lung, can make breathing difficult. Getting up, lowering, turning around, putting a simple sock on your feet is a task from another world!
Have you ever seen a turtle turned upside down? She can’t get up on her own, can she? The pregnant woman in the third trimester feels exactly like this. There are times when the woman lies down and is unable to get up , in addition to running out of air in certain positions. So it is important to have help in certain situations, that little hand to put on panties or socks will always be welcome. At this moment dad can help a lot! Put your hubby to collaborate with mommy on clothes and everything you need.
How to deal with the discomfort of the third trimester of pregnancy?
Doing an ultrasound exam for more than 5 minutes while lying on your back can be torture! That’s because the weight of the belly on the diaphragm makes breathing difficult. So if it is your case, talk to the doctor about the position, because, he will certainly help you by taking a break or changing the way you do the exam so you don’t run out of air.
We must remember that the best position for the pregnant woman is on the left side , it releases the weight of the vena cava that takes oxygen to the mother’s brain and to the fetus as well. It is also possible that you feel your feet swell more, your heart accelerate, and a lot more heat. All of this is due to the excess of blood circulation in the body.
Vaginal Moisture
The sensation of vaginal moisture can also increase. It is possible that due to the pressure of the uterus on the bladder, the woman has small leaks of urine. It is worth remembering that the urine smells like pee, another episode of liquid leaks with no smell or with a bleach odor , it is necessary to investigate further to check the possibility of a broken bag .
Small leaks of bloody goo can start to happen as well. These are certainly parts of the cap. However, if there is any doubt about the origin of this mucus, check with your doctor. He is able to tell whether or not there is dilation and possible signs of labor (premature or not).
A tip for pregnant women: do you want to improve the pleasure of sex during the gestational phase? Use water-based lubricating gels that play the role of cervical mucus and still control vaginal pH, reducing the chances of proliferation of fungi and bacteria responsible for infections.

Pains
Back pain is a constant feature of this third trimester of pregnancy. In addition, pain in the legs and also pricking in the vagina . Sometimes a woman may have the feeling that the pelvic bones are opening up so uncomfortably. This is due to the movement of the uterus (lower) and possible fitting of the baby in the pelvis.
However, the third trimester of pregnancy is not only uncomfortable, there is also the good part! Preparing the clothes for the baby’s arrival, washing, ironing and tidying up the drawers is an unparalleled pleasure for mom.
