Key facts about your baby
- At 35 weeks, your baby now weighs about 2 ½ kilos (5 ½ pounds) and measures around 33cm (13 inches) from rump to crown.
- The fat that has been developing for several months now has filled out most of the wrinkles in your baby’s skin, which is now pink instead of red.
- Your baby should now be upside down in your uterus in preparation for birth. About 96% have adopted this position, the rest would be in a breech section.
What’s happening with you
- Your symptoms in the 35th week continue; fatigue, moodiness, backache, indigestion, etc. However, there may be a new symptom at this time.
- Watch out for blood-tinged or pink mucus. This might be your mucus plug, though this doesn’t mean labor is starting asap.
- You might be frequenting the loo more often and also experiencing vaginal infections.
