Summary Of Changes That Will Happen Inside A Mother’s Body In Third Trimester

Conditions covered in this article

• Swollen hands and feet 
• Breathlessness
• Lower backache
• Leaking breasts

This is the final stage of the most beautiful journey of your life. Hold yourself up just a little bit longer and you won’t regret it. At 28 weeks you should be enrolled in antenatal classes if you have any accessible to you online or in your vicinity. According to 'global healthcare,' you should have one class every 2-3 weeks from this point onwards. Common problems you may experience in this stage include swollen hands and feet and to curb this problem drink a lot of fluids, try raising your feet on two pillows and avoid wearing tight shoes, tight jewelry. 

Breathlessness becomes very common at this stage and this is because the growing uterus makes it harder for you to breathe as your lungs have less space to expand. Lower backache can be treated with light yoga, exercise, a good cushion and comfortable shoes. Leaking breasts maybe an issue from this stage onwards and this is because they have started to produce colostrum.
