Question 3

is it normal to feel weak ,dizzy, and feel like fainting during the third trimester of pregnancy? i am 34 weeks pregnant?

Accepted Answer

: These symptoms are very nonspecific. While there may be no problem you should discuss this with your obstetrician or midwife.

Question 4

how is my baby developing in the 3rd trimester?

Accepted Answer

Growing and maturing: While the organ systems and body first form in the beginning of pregnancy, they continue to mature and grow until birth.  Muscles are getting stronger, the brain continues to develop, and the baby is practicing breating and swallowing.  One good site to track development is american baby magazine website.   Lennart nilsson's book "a child is born" is an excellent reference you can buy.

Question 5

is it ok to fly in the 3rd trimester?

Accepted Answer

Yes: For most women with normal, healthy pregnancies, flying in the third trimester is just fine.  We generally tell women not to fly after 36 weeks.  After all, you could go into labor at any time, including on the plane.  However, some problems during pregnancy make travel more risky.  This is especially true for women who are at risk for preterm labor or have problems with the placenta.

Question 6

is it possible to miscarry in the 3rd trimester?

Accepted Answer

No: Sort of, but it wouldn't be called a miscarriage.   If a fetus were to die in third trimester it would be an intrauterine fetal demise.  If it were to deliver alive it would be preterm labor.

Miscarriage technically refers to delivery of a fetus prior to 20 weeks.

Question 7

is it normal to lose weight in the 3rd trimester?

Accepted Answer

No: Most women don't lose weight consistently in the third trimester. Some women may gain 2-3 pounds one week and the next week be down 1-2 pounds, this can be very normal. Continued weight loss is more concerning. However, women who are overweight or obese before becoming pregnant may be advised by their doctor to not gain as  much weight during pregnancy (maybe only 15 pounds).

Question 8

what are comfortable sexual positions in the 3rd trimester?

Accepted Answer

Be creative: It varies with each expectant mother, but any position that reduces the depth of penetration  will be more comfortable. Many find that front to front laying on the side is comfortable, in addition to rear penetration laying on the side.

Question 9

what does it mean in ur 3rd trimester with lower backpains?

Accepted Answer

Lightening: As you near the end of pregnancy, the fetus and uterus begin to drop into the pelvis.  That frequently results in back, hip, pelvic, and vaginal pain and pressure.

Question 10

is it too late to have an amniocentesis in the 3rd trimester?

Accepted Answer

No: It is easier to do amnio in the third trimester when amniotic fluid is abundant. Uses of third trimester amnio include testing fetal maturity (surfactant, other levels) to time delivery when there are complications (e.g., maternal pre-eclampsia). Use for genetic testing may allow preparation for a severe disorder (e.g., fetal trisomy 18) without options for pregnancy termination.
