This is the final stage of pregnancy, and your baby will grow quickly in the weeks ahead!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As your due date gets closer, you may feel excited, nervous, overwhelmed, or very tired. Many people experience several emotions at once.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to expect physically&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the third trimester, your baby gains weight rapidly, often about half a pound per week. As your baby grows, your body works harder to support that growth.&nbsp;You may notice:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increased fatigue&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Back, hip, or pelvic pain&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Heartburn or indigestion&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swelling in your feet and ankles&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shortness of breath&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Trouble&nbsp;sleeping&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some health conditions are more likely during this stage. One is preeclampsia, a condition that causes high blood pressure during pregnancy and can affect your organs. It can develop quickly, so contact your healthcare provider right away if you experience:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A severe or ongoing headache&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vision changes, such as&nbsp;blurriness, seeing spots, or seeing flashes of light&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chest pain&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Trouble breathing&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pain in the upper right side of your abdomen&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A sudden feeling that something&nbsp;isn\u2019t&nbsp;right&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may also begin to feel Braxton Hicks contractions, sometimes called practice contractions. These are usually mild and irregular. If contractions become regular, more intense, or painful, it could be a sign of labor.&nbsp;Call your provider if you notice:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Regular or painful contractions&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vaginal bleeding&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fluid leaking from your vagina&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Monitoring your baby\u2019s movements&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your baby\u2019s movements may feel stronger and more noticeable during the third trimester. As your baby grows and space becomes tighter, the type&nbsp;or intensity&nbsp;of movement may change, but you should still feel regular movement each day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice that your baby is moving less than usual, contact your&nbsp;provider. Trust your instincts. If something feels different, it is&nbsp;always&nbsp;okay to check in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to expect emotionally&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s&nbsp;normal to feel anxious about labor, caring for a newborn, or how your family may change. Prenatal screenings can also cause stress. These tests check for gestational diabetes, anemia,&nbsp;high blood pressure, and&nbsp;Group B strep&nbsp;(a common type of bacteria some people carry).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mood changes are common. However, if you feel persistently sad, anxious, hopeless, or overwhelmed, talk with your&nbsp;provider.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About&nbsp;1&nbsp;in&nbsp;5&nbsp;people experience depression or anxiety during pregnancy or after birth. Support and treatment are available. Reaching out is&nbsp;an important step&nbsp;for you and your baby.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prenatal care&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prenatal care visits typically happen every 3 to 4 weeks, and then every 1 to 2 weeks during the last month. During these visits, you can expect:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blood pressure checks to screen for high blood pressure disorders, including preeclampsia&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Testing for gestational diabetes and anemia&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A Tdap vaccine around&nbsp;28 weeks&nbsp;to help your body make antibodies that protect your newborn from pertussis and tetanus&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rhogam around&nbsp;28 weeks&nbsp;if you are Rh-negative&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Group B strep testing at 35 to&nbsp;36 weeks&nbsp;to&nbsp;determine&nbsp;if&nbsp;antibiotics are needed during labor&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Checking if the baby\u2019s head is down for a vaginal delivery, which can help guide planning for birth&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing for labor&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As your due date gets closer, your provider will review the signs of labor with you. They&#8217;ll also go over when to call them and when to\u00a0go to the hospital.\u00a0You may also discuss your birth preferences and what to expect during delivery.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the final weeks, you may notice more pelvic pressure, more frequent contractions, or changes in vaginal discharge. These can be signs that your body is preparing for labor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep attending your prenatal appointments and ask questions about anything that feels unclear or concerning. Your care team will guide you as your baby\u2019s arrival gets closer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Progyny is here for you.&nbsp;Please contact your Progyny Care Advocate for support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong>Disclaimer:&nbsp;<\/strong>The information provided by Progyny is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.
