What changes are occurring with your body?
From your belly button it should be about 6 inches (15 cm) to the top of your uterus. By this point, you should have gained anywhere from 24 to 29 pounds (11-13 kg). (If you have concerns regarding your weight gain or fundal height, consult your health care provider.)
If you have been short of breath, it is due to your uterus being underneath your rib cage, causing you to have difficulty breathing. Towards the end of your pregnancy your baby drops, which is called lightening. The baby is beginning to settle deeper into your pelvis which relieves pressure on your diaphragm, so you are not so short of breath. Lightening can increase the pressure on your bladder, causing more trips to the bathroom.
How big is your baby?
Your baby is continuing to grow and most likely measures between 15 ¾ to 18 inches (40-46 cm) long and weighs 5 ½ to 6 pounds (2475-2700 g).
What is happening with your baby?
The vast majority of your baby's growth is complete by 35 weeks. His/her kidneys are completely developed, and the liver is beginning to process waste. Because your baby has grown so much, you will notice that he/she will no longer be performing an aerobic workout. There just is not enough room for somersaults. However, this does not mean you will not feel your baby move. His/her kickboxing routine should stay the same.
