Title: Third-trimester pregnancy symptoms

Third-trimester pregnancy symptoms

Braxton Hicks contractions
  • With the time nearly you would experience lower
    back and hip pain that are the connective tissues
    in the pelvic area. They will start to loosen as
    the hormone levels increase their levels and
    prepare the body for childbirth. You could help
    ease it a bit with regular exercise like walking,
    swimming, and stretching.
  • In case you sense tingling, numbness, or
    even shooting pain in your lower back, thighs,
    and butt there are chances you have sciatica.
    This results when the uterus puts pressure on the
    sciatic nerves. To help ease yourself, try taking
    a warm bath or compress to soothe the pain.

  • The pressure against your rib crib and diaphragm
    press against the uterus as it gets bigger
    resulting in shortness of breath. To help ease,
    try to stand up straight allowing yourself a room
    for breathing that the sleep also tries to prop
    yourself up with some extra pillows for comfort.
  • One of the common symptoms of the trimester
    is mild swelling in the ankles or feet, however,
    if you experience sudden swelling in the face or
    the hands contact your doctor! It might be a sign
    of preeclampsia.

  • You might experience shooting pain in the
    pelvis in particular your baby moves. It does
    cause discomfort but goes away quickly.
  • Hemorrhoids are common in pregnancy. You might
    experience constipation and increased pressure in
    the pelvic at the same time. Remedies to ease
    this are witch hazel pads, sitz baths, and Tucks
    Pads or Earth Mama Herbal Perineal that relieves
    itching and pain.

  • Also, drink a lot of water and consume fiber-rich
    foods, like oatmeal, beans, apples, and bananas.
  • In your Third- trimester if you experience
    severe cramping or abdominal pain, vomiting,
    painful or burning urination, bleeding, or a high
    fever, contact a doctor for your prenatal
    appointment.
