The Third Trimester

This definitely has nothing to do with learning difficulties / needs.. but it's certainly a think aloud for me.

Why is the immunity system of a mother suppressed in the third trimester? I read in a page that my friend sent me regarding listeria and pregnancy, that the immune system is somewhat suppresed in the third trimester. Is it because the baby is growing bigger and faster? Or are there other factors involved?
