Baby's lungs are ready to breathe. Which means it won't be long before you'll get to hear his or her voice for the first time! Meanwhile your body is keeping exactly the right amount of amniotic fluid in the sac. This is the 'water' that eventually 'breaks' to let you know your baby is on the way.
You at 35 weeks
About now you should be breathing easier and suffering less indigestion. This is because your baby is gently easing itself lower down into your pelvis, so relieving the pressure on your lungs and tum. Be ready for some discomfort there though.
Your thoughts might be turning to how well you'll be able to breastfeed. Chances are, it will come naturally for both of you. Your little one is already puckering up in readiness! And your breasts are getting ready to provide exactly the kind of nutrition your new born will need. But even if feeding doesn't come easily, there is plenty of help on hand.
Do make sure you're getting enough Omega-3. These important fats support visual and brain development. Good sources include oily fish like mackerel and sardines (2 portions a week max).
