Nerdy Weekly Baby Size: Week 35

This week for the Nerdy Weekly Baby series!

For nerdy moms-to-be who want to know more about their baby’s growth at 35 weeks, this post is for you! At this point in your pregnancy, your little one is about the size of a Bowl of Petunias, measuring around 18 inches long and weighing in at around 5.3 pounds.

But size isn’t the only thing on your mind at this stage. You’re likely feeling a lot of changes in your body, and your baby is getting ready to make their grand entrance into the world. So let’s dive into what you can expect during week 35 of your pregnancy.

Your baby at 35 weeks

First off, let’s talk about your baby’s development. By 35 weeks, your little one is fully formed and is busy preparing for life outside the womb. They’re growing more hair, and their fingernails have likely reached the tips of their fingers. Their organs, including their lungs and digestive system, are also continuing to mature, getting ready for the big day.

You may also start to notice some changes in your baby’s movements. As they get bigger and space gets tighter, you may feel more rolling and squirming than actual kicks and punches. But don’t worry, this is all perfectly normal.

How You’re Feeling at 35 Weeks Pregnant

Now, let’s talk about how you’re feeling. At 35 weeks, you’re likely feeling pretty uncomfortable. Your baby is taking up a lot of space, putting pressure on your bladder, and making it hard to get comfortable. You may also be experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions, which are practice contractions that your body is using to prepare for labor.

But it’s not all discomfort and contractions. You’re also likely feeling excited and maybe a little nervous about the impending arrival of your little one. You’re probably spending a lot of time preparing their nursery, stocking up on baby essentials, and maybe even packing your hospital bag.

One thing to keep in mind at 35 weeks is that you’re getting very close to full-term. This means that if you were to go into labor now, your baby would have a very good chance of being born healthy and strong. However, you still have a few more weeks to go, and it’s important to take care of yourself during this time.

Make sure you’re eating a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and getting plenty of rest. You may also want to start practicing some relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, to help you stay calm and focused as you prepare for labor.

You’re likely feeling uncomfortable and excited, and it’s important to take care of yourself as you prepare for labor. Keep these tips in mind, and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy journey!
