Week 36: What’s Happening?

Baby’s…

…getting closer and closer to being able to breathe on his own.

…skin is getting smooth and soft and his gums are rigid.

…liver and kidneys are in working order.

…circulation and immune systems are basically good to go!

Mommy’s experiencing…

…better ability to breathe. Baby is getting ready to descend into her pelvis, which gives her lungs some extra room.

…pelvic discomfort—for the same reason, of course.

…difficulty sleeping. Mommy needs to find ways to relax even if she can’t sleep much.

…more heartburn and swelling in her ankles and feet.
