Question 1

Accepted Answer

See CDC website: I am unaware of any such reports. You've asked several good questions about COVID-19. For the latest information, see the CDC website, which is excellent and provides frequent updates in nearly real time; new developments are posted very quickly. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

Question 2

is chest and throat tightness normal in third trimester? could it be something to worry about?

Accepted Answer

Could be reflux: Also baby may make you uncomfortable and make you feel tight if you have difficulty breathing or get short of breath see.

Question 3

can i sleep on my stomach in the third trimester? or will it hurt the baby? i'm approaching 33 weeks.

Accepted Answer

If Comfortable: As long as your pregnancy is proceeding normally and you and the baby are doing well you can sleep in any position that works best for your comfort. Many women in their third trimester still sleep on their tummy, often propped with body pillows. Getting sleep at this stage of pregnancy is most important and finding your best comfy way to do this is what counts.

Question 4

pain in navel during third trimester of pregancy?

Accepted Answer

Not : Uncommon  due to the pressure in that area

Question 5

i am third trimester of pregnency when i touch my womb i fell one sound like heart beat whats that sound??

Accepted Answer

A heart beat: It might be your own, but it’s likely it’s the baby, the impulse from the heart travels through the amniotic fluid the best at full term gestation due to max fluid volume in the amniotic sac

Question 6

bleeding in third trimester of pregancy?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: Third trimester bleeding is very abnormal. This should be evaluated emergently  in labor and delivery. Go to the hospital.

Question 7

hi

im in the 3rd trimester and ive been experiencing tight chest for a couple of hours now with shortness of breath and reflux. should i be worried? i feel like its a mini heart attack and i feel pain just around my bellybutton

Accepted Answer

Examination needed: I'm concerned about midabdominal pain,chest tightness and shortness of breath. Reflux wouldn't explain these symptoms. I recommend proceeding to the hospital emergency room where prompt evaluation and testing will be obtained. Notify your obstetrician who, I believe, will agree with my recommendation. Emergency room physician will confer with your OB about testing and any treatmment proposals.

Question 8

is hardening of the stomach in the 3rd trimester (37 weeks) a sign of labor?

Accepted Answer

Possibly...or not: Labor pains are felt in the lower abdomen, perineum, lower back, and top of the uterus, aka the fundus. Contraction-like "flexing" of the fundal muscle will feel like a hardening, but is normally transient. If you're starting to feel this call your OB because your cervix has to be checked. Keep track of contraction pace &amp; go to ER stat if you start leaking liquid or blood, or if baby stops moving

Question 9

is diarrhoea during the 3rd trimester (35 weeks) and stomach cramps a sign of preterm labour?

are these a cause of concern at this stage?

Accepted Answer

Possibly yes,: getting an exam to check your cervix, and also get help with dehydration, IV fluids, would be a strong recommendation.

Question 10

since 3rd  trimester of my pregnancy i get these sharp pain in the middle of my upper abdomen which travels to the back. i had baby but stillget pain.

Accepted Answer

See below...: The most likely explanation for pain that you describe is related to reflux disease or problems relate to your gallbladder.  Both of these are extremely common during pregnancy and easy to evaluate - call your doctor !
