The third trimester lasts from the 28th week through the birth of your baby. During the third trimester you will start seeing your health care provider more frequently.
Symptoms that are often present in the third trimester of pregnancy include backache, swelling of the legs and ankles, shortness of breath, heartburn, varicose veins and stretch marks.
Your doctor will also determine the baby's position and check your cervix in order to monitor how your body is preparing for childbirth.
