Baby’s Developments

Your baby is now about 21 inches and weighs more than 6.5 pounds. Your baby is now in a downward position getting ready for birth. Your doctor will perform tests to see the progress.

Changes in the Mother

This is a very difficult time for most mothers. From moving around to sleeping, there will be one or more difficulty that most women will face. This can range from back aches, swelling the feet to excessive sweating. Though you might think you want the baby out, the baby is simply not ready.
