Week 34: Upside-down baby!

Fetal development in pregnancy week 34:
Your amazing baby is on the move! They’ve been riding fairly high in your stretched-out womb till now (while kindly compressing your poor internal organs), but now they’re planning on making the big move to your pelvis this week. If you haven’t noticed it already, you’ll be feeling the weight shift that signals that your baby is most likely out of breech position, with their head now resting on your pubic bone. In liver news: although not quite fully formed, your little miracle’s liver is now capable of processing a certain amount of waste. In general, most of your child’s prenatal physical development is pretty much up to snuff and ready for the outside world. Naturally, further weight gain is expected—so you’re still not at maximum capacity despite probably feeling like you definitely are maxed out.
And how's mom doing?
Obviously the big change for you is the notable weight shift (known as “lightening” or “engagement”). Now that your baby is resting deeper in your pelvis, you may find yourself walking as if you're carrying a watermelon between your legs. Yes dear, you’re officially “waddling” these days. Try to comfort Now that your baby is resting deeper in your pelvis, you may find yourself walking as if you're carrying a watermelon between your legs yourself with this thought: it’s nearly over. Soon, you’ll just have to carry your adorable little watermelon in your arms. And in a rare spate of good news: this weight shift means you can breathe easier now that your lungs aren’t compressed. The not-so-good news, it’s a trade off: (we’ll wait till you’re back from the restroom) this new position has your poor bladder even more squished than before. We’d recommend writing your bladder little love poems to convince it not to leave you altogether, but unfortunately bladders don’t speak English (only Italian love poems will do).

yesh..just went to 'see' our little precious..he is growing well (head is still facing down)..now weighing 2.267kg @ week 34..Dr Adrain said that it's a good weight =) and bb will prob be about 2.9kg - 3.2kg @ birth (which is a pretty good weight)

*phew* just have to continue to have more rest and all should be fine c",)(Another good news is that the company has confirmed that they will follow the new enhanced maternity benefits i.e 4 months Maternity Leave + 6 days childcare leave (heard that some companies may not nec follow)..which means...more time with our precious !! guess i will be taking 3 months first..and stagger the balance 1 month for vaccinations etc..yippeee!!)

and so I am now :
* 2 weeks to my next gynae appointment
* 3 weeks till our little precious is FULL-TERM
* 6 weeks to my EDD...
~GOSH!~
