Your Baby:

Using ultrasound the doctor will know if the baby is not well placed and whether to do a cesarean section to avoid risks. The brain and the skull of your baby continue to grow, but will not increase much in weight.

Baby weight now: 2.7- 3 Kg

Your Body

You can experience a feeling when the baby falls into the birth canal, you'll notice more space in the abdomen and can breathe more easily, but feel more pressure in the pelvis and bladder which may be more uncomfortable. This does not happen to all women. The cervix, which is the neck of the uterus will expand, preparing for childbirth. If you have swelling from excess fluid, rest with your feet up or lie on your left side for better blood circulation. You know that there are signs that warn you that you are giving birth, be careful as there are a percentage of babies born on unexpected dates .Your baby may surprise you!
