Welcome to your third trimester! Over the coming weeks, your baby will grow from about the size of a plate of pancakes up to a full-fledged turkey (if she decides not to come out on time, that is!). And you’ll go through a lot of changes, too. This week-by-week guide to your third trimester will take you through all the developments, symptoms and things you need to start thinking about. (And don't miss our videos for your first trimester:    • What to expect in your First Trimeste...   and second trimester:    • What to expect in your Second Trimest...  )
