What happens to the child
The fetus occupies almost the entire space of the uterus.It is more difficult for him to move, pushing off from its walls. At the same time, he continues to increase in size. At this stage, his height reaches 47 cm. Fat tissue is formed under the skin. The child's normal weight is 2,600 kg. The shoulders and cheeks become rounded due to fat. Despite the lack of space, the baby continues to move actively. He has his own daily routine. At a certain time of day, he flounders more intensely. If the baby moves too abruptly, this indicates his discomfort. The mother should change his position. Perhaps the child does not have enough oxygen. Lack of motor activity for several hours is a cause for concern. You need to tell the doctor about this as soon as possible. The number of pushes per day should not be less than 10. They can be of different intensity. Sometimes the push is so weak that it can go unnoticed. The baby moves every 10 - 15 minutes. Due to his large size, some movements can be painful for the mother. The baby's body is finishing forming. Externally, it looks exactly as it will be born. There is free space between the bones of the skull. This is possible thanks to the fontanelles.

Condition of the pregnant woman
At night, the woman faces insomnia.This is how the body prepares for the new addition to the family. Very soon, the mother will have to spend sleepless nights with her child. However, you should not neglect sleep during pregnancy. You need to choose a suitable routine and stick to it. This will help you fall asleep faster. Before going to bed, you can resort to relaxing rituals. No need to be nervous and overexert yourself. In the later stages, carrying a baby becomes increasingly difficult. The enlarged uterus presses on the bladder and digestive tract. Because of this, trips to the toilet become more frequent. Swelling of the legs increases. You can reduce it by raising your legs up while lying on your back. The fetus changes its position and goes down. Thanks to this, breathing becomes easier. When the fetus takes the correct position, a bandage will help fix it. The bandage will be a good helper for the lower back. It will reduce the load on the back. A pregnant woman should take care of her spine. You should not spend a lot of time on your feet or wear high-heeled shoes. Correct posture will help reduce discomfort. Do not bend your body forward. This will only worsen your back. Often, a woman has pain in the pelvis, pubis, and hips. This is caused by an increase in the hormone relaxin. It is necessary to soften the joints. They begin to expand to facilitate the appearance of the child through the birth canal. Hemorrhoids are a frequent companion of pregnancy. You should not keep silent about this delicate problem. The doctor should find out about it as early as possible to prescribe treatment. In advanced cases, hemorrhoids can provoke acute attacks of pain.

This reduces the burden on the stomach. The feeling of heartburn ceases to torment the pregnant.
The onset of delivery is premature
The child's body is already ready to do it on its ownfunction. If the delivery is premature, it will be able to adapt to the changed conditions. This will not have a negative effect on the baby. There is no reason to worry. The mucus plug comes off, so the amount of discharge will increase. They may contain mucus clots and rare streaks of blood. It is not worth provoking labor before the due date. You need to take special care of the baby. You must abstain from sex. With multiple pregnancies, the risk of disturbing the children increases.
