Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the third trimester, the unborn child experiences a great increase in size, due to both an increase in the size of existing organs and tissues, as well as the development of new ones. The child may gain anywhere from 4-7 pounds in weight during this time, and may grow several more inches in length. While other changes, such as the formation of limbs and the development of the skeleton, do occur during this time, they are typically completed earlier in the pregnancy.
