Emotional Symptoms During Third Trimester of Pregnancy

During the third trimester of pregnancy it is normal for expectant mothers to experience fluctuating emotions. Understanding common emotions and their causes can help you prepare for the wide range of mood swings you may experience.

Anxiety

Fears about labor, birth and impending parenthood are contributing factors to anxiety. The third trimester tends to produce the most anxious feelings during pregnancy.

Irritability

Physical changes that occur during the third trimester can be frustrating to the expectant mother. Feelings of irritability are common due to fatigue, lack of sleep, physical limitations and hormones.

Vulnerability

You may feel emotionally vulnerable about the birthing process as well as the physical changes your body is going through. Having a support system can help in this area.

Depression

Hormonal factors may contribute to depression in some women. Your emotional health is just as important as your physical health. If you suffer from depression, speak with your doctor immediately.

Texas residents on disability have numerous supplemental options that have been approved by their state department of insurance.
