is the third trimester that bad?

[kalmanzor1]

I am planning to take my nursing board exam in the beginning of august or mid august. I will be around 27 to.29 weeks pregnant by then. Will I have a hard time? Is third trimester that bad?

I've had two kids...this is my 3rd..I NEVER found it to be that bad at all. However,  some women have awful aches and pains. I never did. I hope its like that for you!! Make sure you rest the day before,  sleep well the night before,  and eat a healthy breakfast you'll be ok! Kudos to you...doing big things!! :) :)

I'm 33 weeks and so far I feel the same as I did in the 2nd trimester. I have no complaints.. but everyone is different.

I'm 30 weeks and if I didn't have chronic headaches and migraines, I would be fine. Most girls I know really struggled when they hit that 36 week mark.

I'm 27+4 weeks now & mostly OK. I'm more tired than I had been & get tired faster, but other than that I'm mostly dealing with round ligament pain on & off. I still work full time & go home & cook & maintain my home. Its not easy, but if you keep a positive attitude, its really not so bad.

I found the strategies for answering questions helped me more than anything. I studied a lot of the disease processes and lab values and almost all my questions seemed to be about one thing (one thing that I hadn't studied much of lol). And remember as soon as that screen shuts off EVERYONE feels like they've failed so just try to relax yourself and not think the worst.

I know im so nervous. Im giving myself one full month to study. I have to practice strategies for questions as well. Thaanks! I hope I wont feel too much like ****. My second trimester has been wonderful. Im just afraid that the third trimester will hit me hard. I wanna pass the first timeee

Best of luck!!! The nursing boards are TORTURE even when you aren't pregnant! Just make sure you are able to get a good nights rest and study effectively. My best advice would be to study the tips on "how to answer the questions" more so than the diseases themselves. Learn the tricks for what words to look for in the questions and how to eliminate certain answers.
