Enjoys yawning, sucking his or her thumb, kicking mom in the diaphragm.
Turn-offs include: getting the hiccups, really loud noises and you trying to do all that boring “sleeping” at night.
You are:
This is also prime time for pregnancy colds, as the toll on your body and immune system is getting higher by the week.
32 WEEK
Your Baby:
Is about 11 ounces and 16 inches long.
Is starting to get pretty crowded in there, so you may feel more subtle, rolling-type movements instead of sharp pointy kicks.
You are:
May notice a slight change in your belly shape over the next few weeks, downward sloping.
This change also might signal the retirement of some of your maternity clothes.
STAY HYDRATED. KEEP YOUR FEET ELEVATED WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
33 WEEK
Your Baby:
Weighs about 2 kg and is 17 inches long.
The skeleton is hardening, except for the skull, which will remain soft and flexible to allow it to fit through the birth canal, and also to grow and allow adequate space for your baby’s enormously brilliant brain.
Kicks and movements are practically visible from space now, and you may look down and realize that your belly is no longer round, but pointed, as a knee or elbow stretches out
You are:
May be waddling more than walking, and misjudging your circumference as you bump into counters and knock things over on tables.
A lot of pregnant women start having strange dreams about those pronounced movements — legs and arms stretching out from under your clothes, or the perfect imprint of your baby’s face suddenly appearing next to your belly button. If these dreams creep you out, just remember that it’s your mind starting to wrap itself around the concept that there is, in fact, a actual baby in there rather than some hypothetical concept of a baby.
34 WEEK
Your Baby:
Weighs around 2.25 kg and is almost 18 inches long.
Reaching the 34 - WEEKmark is a big milestone for anyone concerned about pre-term labour, as babies born at this stage usually do just fine.
You are:
Fatigue, heartburn, nausea, frequent trips to the bathroom. It’s like the Return of the First Trimester, only much bigger and rounder and grunter.
Don’t forget to do your Kegel exercises, not only in preparation for childbirth but also to stop the unfortunate peeing-when-you-laugh-or-sneeze phenomenon, which can get pretty out of hand in these final weeks.
