Week 31: What's Happening?

Baby’s…

…going through major brain and nerve development.
…going through eye development, too. His irises now react to light!
…all five of his senses are in working order.

Mommy’s experiencing…

…squished lungs, which can make her feel out of breath.

…dry, brittle nails, thanks to all that extra nail growth.

…Braxton Hicks contractions. She should be drinking plenty of water and changing positions often.

…leeky boobs. That’s baby’s first food at birth, called colostrums. Milk comes in a few days after birth.

…back aches. Bridgett needs to keep stretching.

…Difficulty sleeping. Aches and pains, a big belly, pregnancy hormones, heartburn and anxiety are probably contributing factors.
