Week 33

My Baby This Week

Did you know there are billions of neurons in your baby's brain? These would have developed by now, and help her learn about the environment, listen, see, and feel.

By this stage, baby’s lungs are almost fully developed. She will start putting on more body fat, in preparation for delivery. She will spend a lot of time sleeping and studies show that when she sleeps, rapid eye movement often occurs!

She should also have changed to an upside-down position by this time.

What’s Happening To My Body?

Many moms report that they experience insomnia during the last trimester. Baby’s kicking may keep you from sleeping. Also, other complaints such as back pains, and heartburn could be contributing factors.

Use a support pillow to alleviate your back pain, and do make sure you eat frequently, in small quantities.
