What are common pregnancy symptoms during the 3rd trimester?

The third trimester can sometimes be a little more difficult because at this point you are starting to get a little bit bigger, and you may find it harder to sleep comfortably. You get up throughout the night to urinate. You also get up throughout the night because your hips are sore or your arm falls asleep. Sometimes constipation can roll in during the third trimester and it's not often uncommon for that to be followed by haemorrhoids. I don't want to paint too nasty of a picture because, again, pregnancy can be an absolutely wonderful thing but the third trimester tends to be where you start to get a little tired. You start to kind of get over the ‘Oh I'm pregnant' stage and start looking forward to the ‘I want to be a mummy' stage.
