Wrapping Up the Second Trimester
Wrapping Up the Second Trimester
As you approach the end of the 27th week of your pregnancy, you are concluding the second trimester.
This milestone is significant as it marks the transition into the final stage of your pregnancy journey.
The second trimester is often considered the 'honeymoon' period of pregnancy, but as it wraps up, there are several key aspects to consider.
Physical and Fetal Development
Fetal Growth and Movements
- Your baby is now about the size of a head of cauliflower, measuring around 14.4 inches and weighing approximately 1.9 to 2.3 pounds.
- You'll likely notice increased fetal activity, including kicks, jabs, and rolls, as your baby grows stronger.
Health and Wellness Check
Regular Prenatal Appointments
- Continue with routine prenatal check-ups, typically every two to four weeks.
- These visits monitor your blood pressure, weight, and the baby's heart rate, and discuss any symptoms you're experiencing.
Preparing for the Third Trimester
Educational and Preparatory Aspects
- It’s a good time to enroll in childbirth and parenting classes if you haven’t already.
- Begin or continue discussions about your birth plan and any preferences for labor and delivery.
Nutritional Needs and Physical Health
Diet and Exercise
- Focus on a balanced diet rich in iron, calcium, protein, and fiber.
- Gentle exercise like walking, prenatal yoga, or swimming can be beneficial for your physical health and well-being.
Emotional Health and Support
Mental Wellness
- As you enter the third trimester, you might experience mixed emotions ranging from excitement to anxiety. It’s important to seek support and address any concerns with your healthcare provider.
- Joining a support group or connecting with other expecting mothers can be beneficial.
Important Medical Considerations
Gestational Diabetes and Anemia Screening
- If not done already, screenings for gestational diabetes and anemia are usually conducted around this time.
- Discuss any concerns or symptoms with your healthcare provider.
Q&A for Expecting Mothers
- What changes can I expect in my body as I end the second trimester?
- How should I prepare for the third trimester?
- What are the key nutritional focuses at 27 weeks?
- Is it normal to feel more tired as I approach the third trimester?
- Should I be screening for any specific conditions?
As you wrap up the second trimester and step into the third, it's important to continue focusing on your health, fetal development, and preparations for childbirth. This period is crucial for ensuring both your well-being and that of your baby, as you anticipate the final stretch of your pregnancy journey.

As I’m coming into my second trimester the morning sickness has really kicked in 😮💨 I’m scared to eat, everything I eat I throw up. It’s even hard for me to drink water. When will it STOP 😢🥺 I can’t take it I thought it got better in the second trimester

My second came and I was hella nauseous too. Even water made it horrible. So I got a cirkul bottle with the flavor caps. Honestly I can say now that my nausea was from dehydration. Cause now I can actually stomach food. Not all but I can keep down food now. Plain water grossed me out. I had it from week 13 to 15. It’s still kinda there but not as bad when I finally hydrated it was less.

Hi ladies! Wrapping up my 30 weeks and my doctor told me this… I wonder how large he is for his age. My appointments are every two weeks now I’m in my third trimester. with that being said . I gained 5-6 pounds since my last appointment two weeks ago.

They should be giving you a growth scan soon, if not you can definitely call and ask what your baby is measuring. My baby is also a big boy. So I k ke the feeling
