🌱 Baby's development at 35 weeks

Your baby is running out of room but still wiggling! Movements may feel different now.

🤰 Your body at 35 weeks

Pelvic pressure may be strong as your baby descends. Walking, rocking on a birth ball, and warm baths are all excellent ways to stay comfortable.

✨ Did you know?

Your baby's skull bones are intentionally not fused — the overlapping "fontanelles" make birth possible and allow the brain to keep growing rapidly after birth.
