Third Trimester: The Last Trial Before Complete Happiness
If you think the first trimester is the hardest part of pregnancy due to the morning sickness you experienced, think again. You were just getting started.
The third trimester is the period where in everything starts to become uncomfortable and hard. This is the period where you experience all the hardships of pregnancy. Your body becomes larger and it becomes really hard to lie down and find a comfortable position to sleep. Not only that, your sleep is often interrupted by frequent trips to the bathroom, sudden forceful movements of your baby and practice contractions.
As your baby grows, you will experience frequent heartburns, backaches, and pain in your pelvic area once your baby settles down to his or her birth position. This is also the period wherein your baby needs huge amounts of calcium for the hardening of his or her bones and in case you do not consume enough calcium, you will experience leg cramps. So better eat calcium rich foods and ask your doctor for a prescription of calcium supplements.
Water retention begins during this period and may become worst as your delivery day approaches. You may not fit into your shoes anymore; this is because your feet grow a size bigger due to water retention. Drink lots of water, lessen your salt intake, and eat fiber rich food to alleviate the condition.
The first time your baby moved during the second trimester may have had you amazed and excited but during this period, your baby's movement becomes uncomfortable and even painful sometimes. You may feel him or her poke you with his or her feet or bottom, and sometimes his or her feet may even get stuck in one of your ribs. Caressing your tummy while he or she is moving around is a way to soothe both you and your baby.
During the third trimester, Braxton Hicks contractions increase. Braxton Hicks contractions are practice contractions that prepare you and your body to labor contractions. These contractions are painless. You may feel your uterus harden for a minute or two then eventually go back to normal. These contractions are less regular and shorter than labor contractions. Drinking water, changing your position, or walking can help stop these contractions.
You begin to tire easily and feel breathless during this period. To gain more energy, have small frequent naps during the day. Napping can also help compensate for the lack of sleep during the evenings.
Aside from all the physical discomfort you begin to feel, you may also feel lonely and depressed. You start feeling fat and ugly. You may feel tired of pregnancy. You wonder how long it will take before your baby comes out.
Pregnancy is definitely not easy. It is hard and you have to make a lot of sacrifices. It is not entirely happiness and excitement; there are a lot of changes that you have to go through. The third trimester is the hardest part of pregnancy, but it is also one step closer to seeing and holding your little angel. So don't feel down, are going through are definitely worth it!
