Pregnancy Calendar - Week34
The baby is now on the move, and making the trip down towards your pelvis, with its head then resting on your pubic bone. Everything is working for the baby now, although it is still not at full weight yet, I know it might feel like it, but its true.
You will have noticed the weight change, its known as lightening or engagement, which is why you can see pregnant women at this stage walking like they are carrying a watermelon between their legs with that waddle when they walk.
The other downside of engagement is that your bladder becomes even more squashed. So expect more trips to the bathroom.
You might notice some itchy red bumps on your belly or thighs, this is known as PUPP. If you have it all over your body you should contact your Doctor as this might be a sign of a liver condition.
Your visit to your Doctor may involve him doing a common bacteria screening for Group B Streptococci test (GBS). If you eat healthily and exercise this should not cause you a problem.
