You are officially in your 3rd trimester now! Leg cramps, fluid retention, fatigue, and pains are all common from this week until the end of gestation. Prenatal appointments from now until labor will include urine screenings. Urine is tested for glucose, protein, and infection. The doctors and nurses will also look for signs of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and placenta previa.
Tips for this week
The second trimester was easy – the third trimester...not so much. Despite feeling heavy and tired, some pregnant moms choose to travel at this stage of the pregnancy. Travel is often okay, but talking to the attending doctor first is a priority.
