For most women, the second trimester of pregnancy is easier than the first.
During these months, though, it’s just as crucial to keep informed about your pregnancy.

However, your body is undergoing fresh, more obvious changes.
Your abdomen will grow in size as the baby grows.

Third trimester
You’ve made it this far! Some of the aches and symptoms you felt in the second trimester will reappear.
Furthermore, many women experience difficulty breathing and realize that they need to use the restroom more frequently.
This is due to the fact that the baby is growing and putting extra pressure on your organs.
Don’t worry, your child will be OK, and these problems will go away after you have a child.
You may notice the following new physical changes during the third trimester:
Breathing problems
Heartburn
The ankles, fingers, and cheeks swell.
(If you notice any sudden or extreme edema, or if you gain a lot of weight quickly, call your doctor straight once.)
This could indicate the presence of preeclampsia.)
Hemorrhoids
Breasts that are soft and supple.
There’s a chance your belly button will protrude.
Sleeping problems

Stages of pregnancy
Finally, at the last stages of pregnancy, your cervix thins and softens as you get closer to your due date . This is a normal, natural mechanism that helps the birth canal open throughout the delivery process. Your doctor will perform a vaginal exam as you approach closer to your due date to assess your development.
