Here’s What Meghan Markle Can Expect During Her Third Trimester

It’s without a doubt that both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are counting down the days until they meet their little royal bundle of joy. But now that we know the Duchess is currently in the sixth month of her pregnancy, here’s what she – and many other expectant mothers that are due this Spring – can expect in the coming weeks.

As many moms already know, there might be a lot of changes and unexpected challenges as Meghan Markle begins her third and final trimester of her pregnancy. While there is no doubt that every pregnancy is different, some of the third trimester symptoms are the same for most women. They include edema (which is otherwise known as the swelling of the hands and feet), back pain, pelvic girdle pain, interrupted sleep, heartburn and indigestion and shortness of breath.

If that weren’t enough, many expectant mothers also deal with constipation. As a matter of fact, about 40 percent of women will experience this at some point during her pregnancy, and also one of the many reasons why it’s important to stay hydrated. What’s more, Meghan can also expect something called Braxton Hick contractions. It’s also known as practice contractions that are caused by the muscles of the uterus tightening.

With that said, here’s hoping that the Duchess of Sussex will continue to have an uneventful pregnancy along with a smooth delivery. Meghan herself told well-wishers during a royal engagement this past week that she is due during the last week of April. So far both she and Prince Harry have not made any indication on whether or not they are expecting a boy or girl, although British bookies have placed their bet on a little princess!

    I could do without the image of Meggot being constipated…
    Now, if her ” pregnancy” can slow down her mouth and spending…. Charles wallet is in constant state of diarrhea with her around.

      He, Pennie. I’m just tired of seeing her popping out in clothes not intended for maternity, I wish she would dress more conservatively.

    Hope Meghan has a healthy full term baby. I know that she and Harry are very excited about becoming parents. Her being from America makes me very interested in Meghan news. I loved Diana just as much.

      Oh boy. If you appreciated Diana’s wonderfulness you’d realize Meggot is nothing at all like her.
