Week 35 of your Pregnancy

You

If you haven’t already done so, it’s a good idea to get your hospital bag packed now. Check that your camera battery is charged and there’s a media card in the camera if you need one. Are you bringing a video? Make sure you’ve got all the bits you need. There’s lots to think about so start making some lists. You’ll want a phone list for your partner to let people know the good news when your little one arrives. If you are still at work, it won’t be long before you finish up and you might be feeling lots of pressure to get things done at work. It’s hard to believe but in a couple of weeks, work will probably be the furthest thing possible from your mind, as you will be completely taken over by the wonder of seeing your baby, whose future will extend beyond your lifetime and who will be a far more important part of your life’s work than your job.

Baby

Your baby is around 47cm long and weighs around 2.6kg now. He is running out of space and probably isn’t kicking and nudging you quite so forcefully now. Do keep an eye on his kicks though and let your caregiver know if you think he has been quiet for too long. His reflexes are becoming more co-ordinated now and his lungs are almost completely developed.
