Third Trimester Tips

Reducing Heartburn

  • Eat small, light meals throughout the day rather than 3 large ones.

  • Sleep with your upper body raised six inches. Don't lie down until two hours after you eat.

Treating Constipation

  • Eat foods high in fiber (whole-grain foods, fresh fruit and vegetables).

  • Drink plenty of water.
