During the third trimester of pregnancy, the baby’s body undergoes a number of significant changes as the baby continues to development. Some of the physical changes that a baby may experience during the third trimester include:
Rapid weight gain:
In the third trimester, the baby will continue to gain weight and fat. This is important for the baby’s growth and development and will help to regulate the baby’s body temperature after birth.
Development of the baby’s organs:
The baby’s organs, such as the lungs and liver, are fully developed by the third trimester. The baby’s lungs are particularly important at this stage, as they need to be mature enough to function properly after birth.
Growth of the baby’s hair and nails:
The baby’s hair and nails will continue to grow during the third trimester. The baby’s nails may even extend beyond the tips of the fingers and toes.
Practice breathing:
In the third trimester, the baby will start to practice breathing by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid. This is important for the baby’s lung development and can be seen on ultrasound.
Turning head down:
In the third trimester, the baby will start to move into the head-down position in preparation for birth. This is the optimal position for birth, as it allows the baby to pass through the birth canal more easily.
Overall, the third trimester is a time of significant physical development for the baby. These changes are important for the baby’s growth and preparation for life outside the womb.
