35 weeks gestation: height and weight of the baby, wiggling, mother's condition

Development of the fetus on the 35th week of pregnancy occurs at a rapid pace. It is well developed and is a full-fledged, well-organized organism. During this period, the fetus grows particularly actively, as there is accumulation of fat and muscle mass, about 240-310 grams per week.

35 weeks of pregnancy - how many months?

Obstetric Week is an indicator used by gynecologists to calculate the exact date of the birth of a child. Such a calculation is necessary primarily because the calendar months have a different number of days. The beginning of the count of the obstetrical week is from the day of the beginning of the last critical days (menstruation). If you take the calculated index of four obstetric months, then the birth is usually scheduled for the fortieth week. Also important is the date of conception of the fetus. If the fertilization of the ovum occurred on the day of ovulation, then the 35 obstetric weeks of pregnancy will correspond to 33 ordinary pregnancies.

35 weeks of pregnancy - how many months? Outcome:

• 35 obstetric weeks = eight obstetric months and three weeks;
• 35 obstetric weeks = eight calendar months;
• 35 obstetric weeks = thirty-three weeks of fetal development.

Growth and weight indicators

The parameters of the baby during this period are usually individual, according to the standard at the time of 35 weeks of gestation, the height and weight of the child is approximately 42-47 centimeters and 2.5 kilograms, respectively. The diameter of the head is approximately 84-86 millimeters, the thorax is 90-92 mm, the abdomen is 93-94 mm.

Development of the fetus

At 35 weeks of gestation the child is fully formed. This period is characterized by normalization of the internal organs and the central nervous system.

In particular, the following occurs:

• The development of the adrenal glands, which control the vital activity of the body and are responsible for the formation of hormones.
• Accumulation of mikonia or original feces, from which the baby's organism is cleared in one or two hours after birth. Miconia is formed from the cells of the dermis and bile. In 90% of cases, the original feces are not secreted into the amniotic fluid, if this still occurs, there is a potential danger of infection with the infection or other complications occur.

• Changing facial features. It becomes more rounded, acquires an individuality. An amazing feature is manifested in a baby in 35-36 weeks of pregnancy. The change in eye color begins: if now it is gray or blue, it will gradually become the one that is embedded in the genes. The fetal body acquires a gentle pink color, the skin is smoothed, the lanugus fluff disappears. On the head, the hair continues to grow at the same rate as before.
• At the eighth and a half month the fruit falls head down, its shoulders and hands are rounded, all this is due to the fact that the child intuitively prepares for the birth. This position for the baby is quite convenient and natural. If it happened that at the time of 35-36 weeks of pregnancy the position of the baby remained unchanged, the future mother should not be worried. Experienced obstetricians, will do everything to ensure that the birth in this case was also successful.

Child's wiggling

Active growth of the baby is accompanied by an increase in tremors and perturbations, which gives the woman a very painful sensation.

It is very important to observe the perturbations. If they have stopped or become very frequent and abrupt, it is necessary to urgently consult a doctor to avoid possible complications and problems with the health of the baby. Twitches at the 35th week of pregnancy normally occur 15 to 17 times a day.

Test D. Pearson

The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation recommends this test as the simplest, most accessible and correct way to monitor tremors and perturbations. D. Pearson's test can be started from the twenty-second week of pregnancy on your own at home. For this it is necessary to create a notebook in which every tenth stirring will be recorded from 9:00 to 21:00. So you can determine the hours of the child's greatest activity. Normally, the tenth stirring is noted until 17:00. If the number of shocks is less than ten within twelve hours or there are none at all, you should urgently consult your doctor.

Gynecologists recommend to count the wiggling at 35 weeks of pregnancy for an hour, in the norm they should be at least one, every twenty minutes. If the child does not move and does not push for three or four hours, do not worry, maybe he just sleeps.

The condition of a woman at the 8th month of pregnancy

This is a wonderful time in the life of the future mother. After a few weeks she will meet with her baby. Eight months, or 35 midwifery week of pregnancy, is the time of maternity leave, when a woman has a lot of free time. To spend it it is necessary with advantage, to enter the name for courses for expectant mothers, to be engaged in purchase of clothes and diapers, how it is necessary to have a rest and gain strength before giving birth.

Unpleasant symptoms

At 35 weeks of gestation, due to increased hormone production, a woman suffers from constant mood swings, in addition, the fear of approaching birth can contribute to the onset of depression, and concern for the health of the baby is the most common symptom of insomnia.

In the eighth and a half months (35 weeks) of pregnancy, the height and weight of the baby increase, which means that the belly also increases, which in turn leads to the appearance of striae on the abdomen, chest, hips and buttocks. The reason for this may be not only a sharp increase in weight, but also a hereditary predisposition. Getting rid of stretch marks is quite difficult, so it's better to take care of the elasticity and firmness of the skin beforehand. To do this, you can lubricate the problem areas with sea buckthorn, olive or linseed oil several times a day.

Increasing the abdomen contributes to the appearance of insomnia, as the fetus becomes too heavy, presses on the internal organs. To facilitate night rest, doctors recommend to ventilate the room, do not eat in the evening, sleep on a water or orthopedic mattress, use special pillows.

Another unpleasant and extremely dangerous symptom is the secretion of mucus. Normally, it should be a homogeneous consistency of natural clear or light yellow color. If the mucus is secreted with blood, acquiring a scarlet shade, this is a sign of placental abruption, and if there are abundant, watery discharge of white and yellow color - this is a sign of leakage of amniotic fluid. In this case, you need to call an ambulance.

At the eighth and a half month (35 weeks) of pregnancy the height and weight of the child increase, and as a result, the load on the legs increases. Excessive lying or sitting can lead to stress on the vessels and the formation of varicose veins.

Sensations of a woman at 35 weeks gestation

Ironically, but the increase in weight of the fetus at this time contributes to the loss of appetite for a future mother. This is due to the pressure that the stomach exerts on the chest and internal organs. At this stage it is important to adhere to a special diet - a fractional food, that is, eat in small portions. Normally, the weight gain should be twelve or fourteen kilograms. The norm for the eighth and a half month is a weight gain of 290-300 grams per week.

It is difficult for the expectant mother to breathe by the eighth month. It's about 35 weeks pregnant. The height and weight of the child increases, and thus already a rather large fruit presses on the lungs. To facilitate breathing, you can do the following exercise: gently stand on all fours, take a deep slow breath, and exhale. Repeat ten to fifteen times before the normalization of breathing. If the exercise does not help, you need to call the doctor at home.

In addition to labored breathing, frequent urination, constipation, and pain in the ribs may appear. Frequent trips to the toilet are due to the fact that the uterus presses on the bladder. To reduce the urge, it is recommended to limit the intake of liquid to one and a half liters per day, and also not to drink after six. You can get rid of constipation in a similar way. It is recommended to add more prunes to the menu, and reduce the amount of food you eat or switch to separate meals. Relieve pain in the ribs will help a special exercise, to make it quite simple. To do this, you need to take a deep breath, hold your breath, straighten your back, lean to the left, stretch, exhale. Repeat the exercise is recommended five to six times.

Abdomen size and location of the baby

On the eighth and a half month the bottom of the uterus is located thirty-five centimeters from the pubic articulation and at fifteen from the navel, which begins to protrude prominently.

So, 35 weeks of pregnancy. What happens to the baby? The head of the fetus is located at the entrance to the pelvis. The stomach gradually begins to descend.

Training bouts are characterized by alternating relaxation and stress of the uterus, that is, at this moment the woman will feel that her stomach is pulling. If the uterus is tense and does not relax, it strongly pulls the back and lower abdomen, it's time to see a doctor, as these are the first signs of the onset of labor.

Sometimes it happens that the water retreats too early, as a result of which the birth begins much earlier than the time, but this is not a reason for panic. The child is already fully viable, and its internal organs function normally. However, the exception is women wearing twins. In this case, at this time, births are very dangerous and are not the norm.

Pregnancy twins

How is 35 weeks gestation twin? The weight of each child at this stage is approximately 2.2-2.48 kilograms. All organs in the eighth month function normally, the urinary, central and nervous systems develop at an accelerated rate.

35 week of twin pregnancy is characterized by a change in the growth and weight of babies. The indices are normally about 2.6-3.5 kg and 45-50 cm. According to statistics, about 52-58% of twins are born 2-2.5 weeks before the term.

Ultrasonography

Ultrasound for weeks of pregnancy in the eighth and a half month is spent to assess:

• The stage of maturation of the placenta. At that time, the maturity indicator is normally of the second degree.
• Changing the position of the child.
• Condition and cord with umbilical cord.
• Transparency, quantity and quality of amniotic fluid.
• Palpitation and fetal activity.

Timely conduct of ultrasound for weeks of pregnancy can assess the health of the child, check it for the presence of congenital pathologies or vices, and also to understand whether the baby is ready to be born.

The result

Throughout pregnancy, and especially before childbirth, on the eighth month, future mothers are recommended to walk in the fresh air, healthy food and sleep. Waiting for the baby can do shopping. It is important to do this in the company, since lifting weights in the third trimester is especially dangerous. In the eighth month, the fetus increasingly pushes and moves. This means only one thing - the child is growing, which means that the pregnancy normally takes place. 35 weeks - the weight of the fetus increases, kilograms press on the internal organs of a woman, so the future mother should be as often as possible to change position and prevent flowing of limbs. It is especially important not to sit on your leg, as this position helps to impede the flow of oxygen through the veins, which can lead not only to varicose expansion, but also to a lack of oxygen to the baby.
