At this period of development of the baby, there were a few strokes in the improvement of his body. All organs have already formed, the whole body works harmoniously and harmoniously. The adrenal glands began to monitor the water-salt and mineral balance in the body.

In order for the baby to mature fully and be ready for life outside the womb, he needs to dial desired weight, accumulate subcutaneous fat to regulate body temperature. This week, the nervous and urinary system of the baby continues to form.

This week of pregnancy, all the forces of the baby are aimed at the accumulation of adipose and muscle tissue. His weight increases by 220 grams every week. Now he weighs about 2600 grams, and is 48 cm tall. Of course, these figures are average, since everything depends on the genes and personality of the baby. In general, each baby is individual in its own way, each different heights, weight, facial features, skin.

If the baby has not previously accepted correct position for childbirth, for many women it turns this week of pregnancy. The child presses his head, lowers his shoulders and turns his head down. The baby has very little space in the uterus, he moves less and every movement is very noticeable for the expectant mother. Although the baby is cramped, and he is in an inverted position, he is very comfortable in his mother's stomach. What can not be said about the expectant mother, now it is not easy for her.

Feelings at 35 weeks pregnant

Due to the fact that in most cases the baby has already turned upside down, one event begins to please the mother - shortness of breath has decreased, since the child does not press so hard on the diaphragm. And if he hasn't turned yet, the tummy is so big that it continues to press on the diaphragm. In some cases, because of this, a woman feels severe shortness of breath, a feeling that she is about to suffocate. In this case, stand in a pose on all fours, slowly inhale and exhale. This will help to remove shortness of breath, normalize breathing and remove pressure from the fetus on the diaphragm. In this position, you give all your organs the opportunity to rest from the constant load of the abdomen.

You are already used to the baby moving, now they have changed a little. The baby is already very crowded, there is not enough space, and because of this stirring, they are no longer in the form of a blow, but as if rolling. Continue to monitor the number of movements of the child.

Within a week, the diameter of the head increased by 1.9 cm and amounted to 85.9 mm, the volume of the chest and abdomen also increased to 89.1 and 92.4 mm.

Due to the increase in subcutaneous fat, the baby's skin is smoothed, although in the area natural folds coated with grease. There are folds in the neck, buttocks, joints. All organs and systems of the child are fully formed. One of the signs by which the full-term child is determined is the striation of the feet. And on this basis, the child is also quite mature. The baby's hair has already found color and continues to grow. The iris has formed. Enough surfactant has been accumulated in the body for the lungs to open on the first breath.

In the intestines of the child, the original feces have accumulated. Ideally, he should leave after the birth of the child, after a few hours. During pregnancy, the presence of meconium in amniotic fluid ah was taken as a sign of the child's suffering, including fetal oxygen deficiency. If this happens, there may be health problems for the child.

The last weeks of pregnancy are characterized by the development of the adrenal glands. Their task is to produce hormones necessary for proper water-salt metabolism in the body. And including the adrenal cortex stimulates the production of substances, necessary for the body during stress.

35th week. The bottom of the uterus, as if so conceived according to the scenario, is 35 cm away from the pubic joint. The fetus has long taken a position, head down. The fetal head is placed in front of the entrance to the pelvis. However, you continue to control his movements. This will allow you to get rid of doubts about his condition.

The movements of the child often respond in the hypochondrium. But the reason for this is the increase in the size of the child and the increased pressure of the uterus. To get rid of such discomfort, you can bend to the side, in the opposite direction while holding your breath. Try to stretch the side muscles. Sometimes this is enough to relieve pain spasm in the hypochondrium.

Now you have more false contractions. They are called Braxton Hicks contractions. They resemble a small spasm of the muscles of the abdomen and uterus, and quickly pass. And only if the heaviness in the abdomen and lower back does not go away for a long time, and pain spasms are repeated, we can talk about the onset of childbirth. In this case, you need to call an ambulance. The doctor must determine whether it is still possible and whether the birth should be postponed until the scheduled date, or the moment of truth has come.

Don't let it scare you that now the urge to go to the toilet is more frequent. The reason for this is the pressure of the uterus on bladder. The only thing, be careful not to miss the waste of amniotic fluid. If you notice that they are leaking, you should immediately consult a doctor.

35th week of pregnancy: discharge from the genital tract

Now there may be more mucus in the discharge. The fact is that the uterus is now softening, the cervix is ​​​​opening a little. The mucous plug begins to separate, which previously closed the entrance to the uterus, cervical canal. But all this should take place against the background of healthy secretions. As you remember, they should be homogeneous, with a sour smell.

The appearance of pus may indicate the presence of an infection in the vagina. It is worth informing your doctor about this, because now for you the cleanliness of the birth canal is one of the main concerns. After all, any infection can pose a threat to a newborn baby.

Blood appeared in the discharge - at this time, the doctors of the maternity ward should deal with this problem. This may be due to placental abruption. The situation is complicated if, at the same time, the tone of the uterus is increased and pains in the abdomen appear. Before the arrival of the doctor, it is allowed to take no-shpu.

If there was a leakage of amniotic fluid, and there are no signs of an approaching birth, all the same, without delay, call an ambulance. Now the life of the child is at risk, as the risk of infection entering the uterus is high.
