Pregnancy Calendar - Week31
Your baby continues to grow and is nearing their birth weight and its going to be putting on about half a pound a week from now until two weeks before its born. So just when you thought you were heavy enough, it’s going to get harder. The baby’s skull is still fairly soft, as this helps during childbirth, and some can have the soft spot on their skull for up to a year before the skull fuses together. This week, the baby’s immune system has increased to protect from the germs in the outside world.
Heartburn and increased back pain are the order of the day. To reduce the heartburn try eating smaller amounts of food more regularly. Put your feet up as much as you can, try putting them on cushions and elevate them above your head. You might start to leak milk at this stage, so you might need some nursery pads to help you retain your last piece of dignity.
