35 weeks pregnant • Pregnancy calendar •

Dates and numbers:
There are 28 days until your due date on December 20, 2008.
You are 252 days pregnant.
You are 8.3 months pregnant.
You are in your 9th month of pregnancy.
Your 1st trimester: March 15, 2008 to June 13, 2008. (0 - 12 weeks)
Your 2nd trimester: June 14, 2008 to September 26, 2008. (13 - 27 weeks)
Your 3rd trimester: September 27, 2008 to December 20, 2008. (28 - 40 weeks)

Your baby now weighs over 5.5 pounds and its crown-to-rump length is approximately 13.2 inches. Your baby's total length is around 20.25 inches at this point. Your uterus is now 6 inches from the bellybutton and the average weight gain is approximately 24 to 29 pounds.

Most pregnant women begin to feel cramped and heavy around this time and often become tired of being pregnant. Some women feel like they do not have to room to breathe or eat. You should eat small, but frequent, meals and rest as often as you can throughout the day. Your cervix will begin to dilate and efface within the next few weeks to make room for your baby's head to emerge from the birth canal. Your cervix needs to be 10 cm dilated in order to deliver your baby.

This week of your pregnancy your baby's fingernails will have definitely reached the tips of his fingers. When your baby is born, his nails may look long and pointy. Your baby is less likely to scratch himself at this point because of the lack of room in the uterus. Fat deposition will still continue and your baby is getting chubbier and rounder. Your baby's shoulders are plump at this point.

The baby begins to develop its own immune system.

aimzapanda - My belly bump is not as high as the illustration is either. Never was that high. I've been carrying fairly low, but do not consider myself as 'dropped' yet.

aimzapanda - 3 hours ago
Looking at my bump in comparision to the illustration (above), I am much lower. Does this mean my bump has dropped? Hope everyone is doing well!!

hpnobirthing is basically following the principle that fear and tension increase pain. and that in the western world we are constantly bombarded with images/storys of birth being a painful, uncomfortable experience and not as a natural normal healthy process for the female body. there are no tricks to it, its basically learning how to relax and breath through the surges. also, the partner plays a large role in the birthing experience. here is the website..http://www.hypnobirthing.com/

Sali, here are a few youtube hypnobirths.... http://uk.youtube.com/verify_age?next_url=/watch%3Fv%3DqriqhDFo088

newlifehopes - 7.7 hours ago
twins4me. sorry, but hypnobirthing is nothing about that, its not about tricking your mind at all! not sure why you think that. also, what 'bad side effect' exactly are you talking about???

twins4me2009 - 8.6 hours ago
hyponobirthing is having a hyponoist trick ur mind into thinking u wont feel pain.. my g-ma had it done a long time ago.. it worked for her. but if u have a strong mind and cant be hyponotized then.. ur out of luck. I just dont like the idea of being hypnotized.. some people have bad side effects afterwards

Sali - 8.7 hours ago
Hi newlifeshope, what is hypnobirthing'?

nickisanchez24 - 10.2 hours ago
My belly is measuring at 38 weeks instead of 35 weeks. I've been having contractions for a little over a week and it has defiently moved the baby down. I have dropped A LOT! The Dr's not sure if I'll make it to our secduled c-section on dec 15th. (Which is 10 Days before my due date) He says we are going to at least try an get this baby to wait till Dec. Im am having so much pressure pain all the way down there. I never felt this with my daughter and never dropped or dialated with her. This one wants to come out! But hopefully he stays in untill at least Dec. But hopefully my lower pelvic pain does not get worse.

It's crazy about the root beer float thing because I have also been wanting one of those and can't really have it because of GD. I can't get enough food and supposed to be watching my carbs, blood suGAR. Me SO HUNGRY! Oh and she keeps continuously kicking me in the ribs on the same side over and over. I think shes out of room.

kyladee - 14.6 hours ago
i tried those with previous pregnancies, i didn't like how it felt, so i i just took them orally instead.

35Npregnant - 14.6 hours ago
I'm also taking primrose one orally and the other is break the capsule and insert this helps soften cervix.

35Npregnant - 14.6 hours ago
I'm taking rasberry tea leaf also... My doula says it also tones your uterus muscles to strengthen for pushing your baby out.

35Npregnant - 14.7 hours ago
Thanks for the info Jess :)

kyladee - 14.7 hours ago
it supposedly ripens the cervix

krhayes - 14.8 hours ago
Hey ladies: I keep hearing raspberry leaf tea tossed around. What does it do?

newlifehopes - 17.5 hours ago
mandi... i'm not sure what you mean?

babytauri - 18.8 hours ago
Hey everyone! Almost at that 9-month mark! I had a doc appt today; He checked to see if I dilated and did the strep b screening (or whatever it's called). Details in my profile! Not too much longer before we're holding our precious babies!

jessilyn02184 - 20.9 hours ago
hello all, i had this really weird thing happen last night, i was laying down ad i opened my legs to stretch and i could feel the bones my pelvic bones separating, it was such a weird feeling, but i guess that means everything is progressing okay. i cant wait til monday, i find out if there is any progress. 35npreg--as for pain during sex, i always get a 'contraction' during it as well, making it really uncomfortable, it doesnt mean anything is wrong, but sex obviously irritates your uterus, so its like a protection mechanism. That is why doctors dont like to do internal exams all the time, because any irritation to the uterus can cause contractions.

onnumber2 - 21 hours ago
Had my Dr. appt and he said that my tailbone hurts so bad because everything is softening for labor. He suggested sitting on a doughnut to help relieve the pressure. I asked if we could do the c-section @ 37 weeks and he told me that he would have to do an amniotesis (sp?) to see if his lungs are ready. Not sure that I want to go through that. Has anyone had one done?

cymone - 21.2 hours ago
35Npr: You will be fine lol the baby is protected

35Npregnant - 21.3 hours ago
Yeah having sex like once every two weeks... But, I think after this morning I might need to stop.. It was just ok did not care for the pain.

newlifehopes - 21.7 hours ago
not sure! not had sex in ages lol! perhaps the pain is your uterus contracting a little if your having mini orgasms.?

35Npregnant - 21.9 hours ago
Question anyone getting some mild pain while having sex? Sometimes I get some pain not sure if it' s contraction it might be. Also now that the baby's head is low is my husbands penis going to hit the babies head i know it's protected by mucus plug but can it rupture mucus plug?

35Npregnant - 21.9 hours ago
Wow a doctor would actually say something as ridiculous is that? I suggest a new doc.

newlifehopes - 22.7 hours ago
candida, your doctor is away with it!

newlifehopes - 22.7 hours ago
@jen lo, i've been on the raspberry leaf for 3 weeks now.

CandidaAndPaul - 1 days ago
i went to my doctor yesterday for an appointment and he sid that there is no such thing as a mucous plug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that the vagina just naturally produces alot of mucous........UH HUH!

qweetnc21 - 1 days ago
35 weeks today...had a appointmet scheduled for 3 yesterday afternoon and they call to tell me that they are 2 hours behind AND my doctor may have to leave early. Then when she found out what i was coming for (36 week visit)she said to come on in. Sat there from 2:45 to 4:40 and they barely got a sample since i had pee'd 4 minutes before they called me. Then i took my pants and underwear off for a EXternal ultrasound (embarassing) but he weighs 4 lbs, 13 ounces. FInally I get in the room and undress for the Strep B sample to be taken.......and what do i hear? The girl she was waiting on finally dialated 10 cin and she had to leave. I gave blood and left to go back and finish next week.

jen lo - 1 days ago
Hi Ladies, 35wks 1 day, I am on the count down 34 days left, baby is head down, preasure is unreal, Im thinking at times she is going to come out!! Sleeping isn't gret with the constant toilet breaks and I have no comfort going anywhere as Ive to keep going to rest room. Fingers & Toes Swollen so am being monitored for that. She is the liveliest she has been the whole pregnancy in the last week, it is constant. I am thinking of starting the raspberry leaf capsules tonight, what do ye think???

watson2 - 1 days ago
@ mamabear0608- Thanks... I should know whts going or atleast have an idea cause this is my 2nd fullterm baby... but girl to tell u the truth I know they say each pregnancy is different and this pregnancy is total different from my first pregnancy... Im assuming tht he maybe coming sometime soon any way cause when I went to my doctors appointment on Tuesday she said she could fell the baby head but i she said i was still close... Maybe we wont have much longer to go...

newlifehopes - 1 days ago
@Sali.. have you thought about 'hypnobirthing'.

newlifehopes - 1 days ago
@danamay... the website 'spinningbabies' has a page where you can learn how to tell the positioning of your baby.

newlifehopes - 1 days ago
@kittykat, i get big kick on my hip bones.. they feel like electric shocks! also pressure on cervix, feels like she's going to stick her hand out of my you know what!

mamabear0608 - 1 days ago
watson i will tell you i have had those EXACT signs for about 9 weeks now. I think everyday maybe today is the day but nope. Im still going to, so i would have to say no your probably gonna be an incubator for another couple weeks!!!! Me too im there with ya.

watson2 - 1 days ago
Im 35 weeks and a couple days pregnant and having pressure in my pelvic area like crazy... having braxton hicks also like crazy... haven't dilated any... Im just ready for my due date to come or the baby to come early one... Someone please tell me is this a sign of me maybe delivering early before Dec 24

Sali - 1 days ago
Had my check up last week. To our surprise, the baby is abt 3.57kg and breech. For asians, he's consider quite a big baby. The previous 2 babies I had were only slightly above 3 kg. My back is really killing me and I get tired very easily, plus I've found to be diabetic which I was not before the pregnancy. Next week the doctor has put up an appointment for me to have the external belly examination, she'll try to turn the baby to tip head down. Hopefully she'll succeed. I would rather have a normal vaginal delivery. But with the spinal surgery I had in 2007 I don't think I can take epidural...I'm really in dilema.. :(

tummytummy23 - 2 days ago
Hi ladies!! I don't think ive noticed More discharge then normal. But I am noticing A LOT More pelvic pain!! It hurts even to sit!! But my doc and I thought that my lil one was in breach, but as per my u/s yesterday, my lil one is very very low!! She was having a hard time measuring her head because she was so low!! So that's good, maybe she will come before Christmas!! Hopefully!!....and btw, she's still a girl!!!...hurray!!....lol

mommyof1girlN1boy - 2 days ago

I am gonna have my hands full though..gotta 14 month old daughter now :) Danamay-yeah i have noticed i am havin more discharge. it is normal :)

danamay3 - 2 days ago
hello fellow 35 weekers!! I would love to know if my baby is head down or transverse like he was 3 weeks ago, but since my last doctor is a fool I have no idea!!! He didn't even bother to touch my belly or anything at my 35 week visit!! Very frustrating!! Has anyone noticed more discharge yet?

jessilyn02184 - 2 days ago
hello 35 weeks, only 28 more days to go..hopefully!!

kittykat22 - 2 days ago
in the uk we dont get checked for dialation untill your waters break or you start real contractions, that seems to be more of an americsan thing checking you down there all the time, anyone else`s baby still really active i mean big kicks and pokes and twisting lots..? hes head down low and can ffel him spin on his head as his shoulders poke out really low this really hurts sometimes.! lol

babytauri - 2 days ago
When does the doctor start checking your cervix for dilation? And is anyone else a horny nutcase since being pregnant!? My poor boyfriend can't keep up with me! I'm just trying to get it in before the baby comes because not only will we have to wait 6 weeks, we'll be on HER clock and only get to do it whenever she's sleep!

sunnymom2b - 2 days ago
spud - sounds like something my husband would say. candida - I am not sure what gives them the right to question what we do all day. Do they think that since they cannot see us that we are doing nothing? BTW, be careful on those stairs! ;) So far, I've gotten him to appologize, we'll see how it is when I get home tonight. It doesn't erase the fact that I feel like crap today because of lack of sleep last night due to the arguement. Also, having more BH today.

Lina S.G. - 2 days ago
jen0703- that's great news!!! I have my appointment on Friday and am hoping to get similar news as well, although i'm not in a rush. well...i am, but i want the baby to get a little more growth time. She has been in position and ready for months,but the doc hasn't said anything about my cervix being dilated. But then again, they haven't ever done a pelvic exam yet, so they wouldn't know, would they?

jen0703 - 2 days ago
Went to the doctors yesterday. Doc said baby has dropped and her head is in position. He checked my cervix and said it was open about 1 cm. so very soon. we will have our little girl in our arms.

CandidaAndPaul - 2 days ago
Sunnymom- i know exactly how you feel, if my boyfriend comes home and EVERTHING isnt done then he asks what i did all day.....well lets see.....wake up 4-5 times a night between going to the bathroom and the baby waking up then decide to stay awake at 6:30 since im not getting any sleep anyways, get the oldest up and ready for school, make her lunch and my boyfriends, get the babys diaper changed and dressed then drive my daughter to school and paul to work which is across town and we only have one vehicle that i need during the day then come home and clean, shower bath the baby, maybe try and eat! carry a one year old and a basket or 2 of laundry down the stairs to wash and fold then haul back up along with the baby and i guess another in my belly that is pretty heavy too, put the baby for a nap if she decides that she even wants too then go get meadow from school and get supper on and try and do a bit more cleaning before i have to pack the kids up go get paul from work then come home again and quickly eat before getting my daughter ready for either ballet 2 days a week, gymnastics or figure skating, depending on what day of the week it is and even then having to take the baby because paul had a HARD day at work and just wants to relax and watch tv, oh theres sooo much more but i feel like im rambling on as it is right now........couple more weeks and it will only be more chaos but im hoping that it will make me lose the baby weight faster :)
