From 28 weeks to 40 weeks of pregnancy is called the third trimester. In addition to continuing to ensure adequate nutrition and appropriate activities during this period, the focus is on preparing for childbirth.

After entering the third trimester, there will be some uncomfortable symptoms due to endocrine changes and the pressure of the enlarged uterus.
