When exactly does the 3rd trimester start? I know I am getting close I start 28 weeks today, so I was wondering does anyone have any advice for me? Most say that this is the worst time of pregnany. Any advice at all works, thanks, I'm just trying to be prepared.

"Most say that this is the worst time of pregnany."
I would have to agree with what you said... pregnancy does pretty much go down hill from here...lol. I'm 35 weeks and I'm getting sick again, my back has been killing me, heartburn has been unbearable, and I'm having even more trouble sleeping...oh the joys of pregnancy! The one good thing about it is its the final stretch, and it starts getting exciting as these weeks pass... Good luck to you and God bless, youre almost there!

28 weeks is when third trimester starts. I'm in my third trimester too. The worst issues have been increased body wieght leading to overall movement problems and gas and heartburn.
I just figured out that I cant eat my regular portion sizes at one go anymore. I eat half my lunch , take a 10 - 15 minute break and then eat the rest. Cold milk with sugar really helps with the heartburn ( anything even medium spicy or deep fried gives me a terrible time).
Keeping active helps a lot with feeling flexible and pain free. I just take walks. Also be ready for pre labor and pre baby nervousness and baby shopping stress/confusion if this your first time. I have all kind of wierd questions in my head and drive my husand crazy with unreasonable questions:-)
I think the best way to get thru this trimester is to think of the prize at the end :-) Also let family and friends spoil you...that's the best part:-)

By convention, it is common to say that the first trimester ends at 14 weeks (14 weeks from the first day of the last period). The second trimester proceeds from 14 to 28 weeks and the third trimester extends from 28 to 40 weeks

3rd trimester are the last 3 months of your pregnancy so you should either be already started it or starting it.
It gets harder now, you will be able to feel the baby move more often, about 32 weeks you may even be able to sit there and while the baby is kicking you might be able to see the kicks happening. The weight starts to get alittle more encumbersome.

i would suggest mild stretching and walking during this time. It helps you relieve stress and stay fit and familiar with your daily changing body. Take your time at doing daily tasks, you can easily wear your self out. Take naps when you can. Be sure to drink your fluids, this will keep the baby well cushioned and you from being bloated. If you start noticing your feet and hands swelling, take breaks and sit with your feet elevated, it helps. Also avoid high salt content foods, this can aggravate the situation.
Congratulations!
Blessings!
