Pregnancy

• Pregnancy Calendar: Week 31

  By now, the milk glands in your breasts may have started to make colostrum, the milk that will feed the baby in the first few days if you decide to breastfeed.

• Pregnancy Calendar: Week 32

  At this stage in the pregnancy, your baby’s hair is developing, in the form of eyelashes, eyebrows, and on your baby’s head.

• Pregnancy Calendar: Week 33

  Like a newborn, your baby sleeps much of the time and even has REM sleep, the stage when our most vivid dreams happen.

• Pregnancy Calendar: Week 34

  Your baby is probably in position for delivery — your health care provider can tell you if your baby is positioned head- or bottom-first.

• Pregnancy Calendar: Week 35

  Because of increasing size, your baby is now cramped and restricted inside the uterus. Fetal movements may decrease, but feel stronger and more forceful.

• Pregnancy Calendar: Week 36

  At this point, your appetite may return because the baby has dropped down into your pelvis, and is no longer putting as much pressure on your stomach and intestines.

• Pregnancy Calendar: Week 37

  This week, your baby continues to gain weight — at half an ounce a day!

• Pregnancy Calendar: Week 38

  At this point, you may be taking frequent trips to the bathroom. That’s because your baby is engaged in your pelvis, so your bladder is extremely compressed.

• Pregnancy Calendar: Week 39

  Braxton Hicks contractions (also called “false labor”) may become more pronounced, and your water may break.

• Pregnancy Calendar: Week 4

  During this week, your baby, or embryo, has two layers of cells that will develop into organs and body parts.
