Week 35: It's getting cramped in here!

Congratulations! You’re now carrying over 5 pounds of baby-goodness - not counting their amniotic fluid, the umbilical cord, or the placenta itself.

Developmentally, your wee womb-tenant has the fat-factory running at full tilt while their digestive system puts the finishing touches on critical organs in preparation for their first meal (remember - before birth, all of their nutrition was blood via the umbilical cord).

With their first meal in mind, it's time to look forward to one of the most important things you'll do for your infant - namely, keeping them alive with nothing more than your breasts.
If you're still unsure whether you want to breastfeed, just check out our "Ten Reasons to Breastfeed" in Week 28.

Week 34: Mama, I'm movin' downtown!

Your amazing baby is on the move!
Until now, your wee womb-squatter's been living fairly high up in your poor stretched-out womb - blithely compressing your poor lungs and internal organs.

This week your baby's going to pack their tiny bags and make the epic shifting move to your pelvis - commonly referred to as the time when baby "drops".

If you haven’t noticed it already, you’ll be feeling the weight shift indicating your baby is most likely out of breech position (if they're being stubborn, check out 17 Ways To Turn a Breech Baby) with their head now resting on your pubic bone.

When baby drops this may also give you some horrific stabbing back pain as they press on your sciatic nerve. If that's the case, get off your feet and try to do some spine-lengthening stretches to help your baby move OFF that poor throbbing nerve.

In developing internal-organ news: although not quite fully formed, your little poop-factory's liver is now capable of processing a certain amount of waste.

Because your baby's liver is not quite birth-ready, it's common for newborns to get a case of mild and harmless jaundice (signaled by a slight yellowing of the skin).

Jaundice is the result of your baby's body producing more bilirubin (a by-product of blood production) than the liver can currently breakdown, leading to a subtle yellow tinge that goes away in a few days.

Babies born earlier than their due date tend to have moderate to severe jaundice, which - in the hospital, will be treated via light therapy to help their body break the bilirubin down.

For home-birthers, jaundice is easily dealt with by increased breastfeeding (to help their body pass the bilirubin) and "naked time" for baby in a warm sunlit area for 10 minute intervals throughout the day until it disappears.

Week 33: I'm a chunky monkey!

Fetal development in pregnancy week 33

For all the weight and bulk you’re lugging around these days, you’d think your little champ would weigh more than a mere 4 pounds!

But once you add in the placenta, amniotic fluid, and extra blood, you've got at least 10 pounds of baby and their life-support gear smooshed up against your organs!

In terms of appearance, your sweet lil' looker is getting cuter and pudgier every day as they pile on that adorable baby fat.

And as you know all too well, your womb kick-boxer is getting stronger with every passing day. Heck, it’s even possible to observe a well-placed belly-wobbling kick just by watching your belly!

Here's a fun game for when your kick-boxer is especially active: place a small object (baby blocks or a remote control) on your belly and see how far your star-kicker can lob that thing across the room!

Despite their obviously increasing strength, your bigger-by-the-day baby will actually start dropping their rate of movement in the last few weeks, no thanks to their restricted womb space.

If movement ceases for over an hour, drink some cold juice, lay on your side and wait for some added movement.

If nothing's happening at that point, go ahead and call your medical caregiver.
Hey, did you know you’ll continue feeling your baby's movements even during labor?

update kondisi

hari ni baby sangat aktif bergerak..alhamdulilah..mummy gembira sebab baby gerak2..main apa lah tu agaknya.hihi

lama tak berceritakan kondisi saya sekarang.erm dah masuk 33 minggu. so far badan rasa sihat sikit. sebelum ni masalah saya macam-macam. 2 daripada 3 masalah tersebut dah dapat diatasi. tinggal satu masalah iaitu kepekatan darah. masa 1 Mac lepas, saya pergi sekali lagi untuk check HB.memang tetap tanak naik banyak, naik 0.2 je..kepekatan HB sekarang ialah 10.7.susahnya nak naikkan HB semula. tag pada buku pon dah berubah dari putih ke hijau..ermm sebabnya hemoglobin kurang 11gm%.

then hari Rabu yang lepas, saya pergi jumpa doktor.masa kat klinik tu, macam-macam lah saya dengar perbualan dari kakak-kakak yang mengandung ni.saya tak kenal pon mereka, cuma tumpang dengar je. ada sorang kakak ni dah cukup bulan dah, but HB die turun 9..memang nampak kakak tu pucat je.perut dia pon tak besar.still boleh pakai seluar and t-shirt. macam saya juga..dah 8bulan perut tak besar sangat. huhu so, saya terdengarlah kakak ni mengadu, tak tahu dah nak makan apa lagi...HB tak naik-naik jugak.dengar dari perbualan dia, makan pegaga dah naik muak, tapi HB tak mahu naik-naik jugak. dalam hati saya berkata, OMG, dia yang makan sayur pon boleh turun HB, apa lagi saya yang kurang makan sayur..huhu

memanglah saya ni susah nak makan sayur, nak-nak sayur ulam-ulam ni.lagilah tak pandang..kalau buah, oke saya boleh terima. so pengganti pada sayur saya makan buah banyak2..nak2 buah jambu batu paling tinggi khasiat zat besinya.then kalau misi cakap suh makan hati ayam..wek, lagilah saya tak boleh terima. :( jadi pengganti pada hati ayam tu, saya makan kerang.hari ni semangkuk kerang saya makan.ntahlah, harap-harap naik HB saya nanti.

saya sampai menangis bila fikirkan masalah ni..risau kat baby.bila diasak dengan soalan nurse yang macam2, saya rasa sebak..tahan je air mata depan nurse.sebab tiap kali datang klinik ada je masalah. tapi saya berdoa harap2 baby sihat je  masa lahir nanti.amin

Week 31: Another day... another ounce

Fetal development in pregnancy week 31

~length
16 in | 41 cm
~weight
3.3 lbs | 1.5 kg
This week, your amazing growing baby is around 3 pounds and 17 inches tall.
With each added layer of baby fat, your baby's wrinkly raisin skin starts to look more and more like it will when they're born.

The heavy news: you can expect your miracle-gro muffin to gain about a half a pound of weight per week from now until about two weeks before birth.

Your baby's developing immune system has made some serious gains over the past weeks getting them in full gear to face our disease-ridden world o’ wonders.

Even so, a large majority of your child’s immune strength will need to come from your milk in the first year.
Their cute little noggin’ (which could already be covered with luscious locks or just purty peach fuzz), is still soft because the skull bones have not yet fused together.

As disturbing as having an infant with a soft cracked skull sounds, it's pretty much a necessity for passage through the birth canal during labor.

If your baby is in your birth canal for an extended period, they'll come out with a bit of a cone head, as a result of their skull plates being compressed while in your rather snug birth canal. It's normal, harmless and their skull will even out into a more round, less cone-heady shape in the next few weeks.

Oh, and FYI: your baby may have that “soft spot” on their head for up to eighteen months after birth.
