Third Trimester of Pregnancy

 This is the the last part of your pregnancy. In some ways, these final three months are a bit like the first three. You may be more tired and more emotional. Aches and discomforts in your belly and back are more common. Try to rest as much as you can. Read about your baby’s development and your pregnancy week by week, by clicking on the links below.

Pregnancy - 29 to 32 weeks

By about 32 weeks the baby is usually lying with its head pointing downwards, ready for birth. Your baby continues to be very active at this stage, and you’ll probably be aware of lots of movements. Leg cramps at night are common around 29 to 32 weeks pregnant.about Pregnancy - 29 to 32 weeks

Pregnancy - 33 to 36 weeks

Your baby’s bones are starting to harden now, even though the skull bones will stay soft and separated to make the journey through the birth canal easier. You may be aware of your uterus tightening from time to time.

Pregnancy - 37 to 40 weeks

At 37 weeks, your pregnancy is considered full-term. In the last weeks, the baby’s head should move down into your pelvis. When your baby’s head moves down like this, it is said to be ‘engaged’. Most women will go into labor between 38 and 42 weeks of pregnancy
