Managing in the Third
Trimester
The arrival of third trimester again brings back the first
trimester memories with it. The nausea may return but the main
problem is the physical discomfort and other problems that go
with it. Shortness of breath, easy fatigability, swelling in
the legs, difficulty to even turn in bed, itching all over may
cause her to be irritable.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
Again love, support and cuddle her. But now finalize the
hospital details, you can't be pregnant, but you can
participate by being an active observer. Let your partner know
you're enjoying seeing her pregnant body.
Take pictures to record how her bump grows. Pack up her
bag.
Give her lots of days off- kitchen, Support her to the
bathroom, to change positions in bed. Talk with her to your
baby and discuss the welcoming of the baby with her.
Avoid inviting your friends home at this time. Sex may have
to be limited at this time. Most Important, prepare for the
post delivery days because once the baby is out, there will be
no time to prepare.
Plan to be there for her labor and delivery to hold her and
wipe her face. You both will always remember those times spent
together.
