Baby’s Developments
Your baby is not about 18 inches long and weighs about 3.5 pounds. Your baby’s hearing is now fully developed therefore can hear sounds from outside.
Changes in the Mother
You might have gained a lot more weight than in the previous trimesters. And you might be going through the usual difficulties this time around like finding it difficult to sleep, needing to urinate more often, and if you are working you might even doze off once in a while. All this is normal however.
Tips for this Week
Attend a childbirth class provided by your hospital. In Sri Lanka you will most often find these classes in private hospitals. These classes will help you to gain more insight into the birth process and baby care.
What ever labour process you select, feel free to talk to your doctor about any doubts and your options for pain management during labour.
