Which of the following is NOT a change that a pregnant woman can expect in the third trimester?
  1. Less fatigue
  2. An increase in noticeable stretch marks
  3. Large weight gain
  4. The baby moves lower into the pelvis
Explanation
Answer: A - Fatigue increases as pregnancy progresses and the weight of the growing baby puts more stress on the pregnant woman's body. Other third trimester symptoms may include stretch marks, increasing weight, leaking colostrum, dizziness, rash, constipation, sciatic pain, pelvic fullness, swelling in the hands and feet, and an increased need to urinate. Late in pregnancy, the baby may "drop" lower into the pelvis - a sign that things are moving in the right direction, but a painful change for some moms.
