Third Trimester - Empowering women take control of their reproductive health.
Many women find their ankles swell in late pregnancy.
Usually this type of contraction is painless and occurs irregularly. Your fetus will nestle lower in your abdomen in preparation for labor, and you may discover fluid leaking from your breasts as your body gets ready for breast-feeding. Emotionally, you're probably ready for your pregnancy to end, although it's normal to be anxious about labor and delivery. You'll also be visiting your doctor or midwife about every two to three weeks, and then every week during the last month. Prenatal visits may include urinalysis.
