Week 31

What’s happening this week

Your baby…

• may be about the size of a medium  Jellycat Bashful Bunny
• won’t grow much more in length now but will continue to put on weight
• can probably tell light from dark, day and night
• the digestive tract and the lungs are now nearly fully matured
• the skin is less red and wrinkled
• the fingernails may reach the end of the hands.

You…

• may be leaking colostrum from the breasts
• heartburn may be troublesome as your stomach comes under pressure from the growing baby
• may have backache from the ligaments stretching to accommodate the baby.
