The last trimester of pregnancy is composed of the last three months – extending from weeks 28 to 40. By the time you have reached your third trimester, your body has undergone tremendous changes to create an ecosystem for the little life inside you. Here are some steps and measures you should keep in mind during these three months.
As with the previous two trimesters, stay away from alcohol, cigarettes and drugs
Avoid prolonged physical activities that can lead to overexertion and exhaustion
Expect disturbed sleep due to variations in prolactin levels
Consult your doctor immediately if you experience sudden weight gain (more than five pounds a week), accompanied by swelling of the face, hands and feet
