Baby already has all the interior organs and some of them even functioning. Now he/she just needs to grow and gain the required weight. This is the hardest period for the mother. Most of the indispositions and complication appear at this time: edema, the legs varicose enlargements of the veins, pain in the waist, hard breathing and so on are common for this time.
At this time the mother quickly gets tried, and that it is very hard for her to do some of the works and she often needs a rest. It is not recommended to do hard laundry or hung washed things on rope because the baby may easily entangle in the umbilical cord at this time.
The seventh month
During the seventh month all the vital organs finish their formation process. If the baby is born at the week 28 he (she) has all chance to survive.
By the 27-29th week the baby pretty well catches sound and even differs some of them. It is proved that the baby can catch more than 100 sounds that are mostly very low tone. That is why the baby catches his/her father’s voice. Besides that baby calms down when hears his voice.
It is very interesting fact is that lullaby songs that the father songs the baby identifies pretty easy. So the baby has memory of some sound. That means the brain is quite developed.
Also classic music is very good for baby and the mother’s heart beats is very calming of the baby.
That is why the baby sometimes sleeps while feeding. Another fact is that the baby catches sounds on the womb are his/her active reaction to some of the sounds. If you turn on pop music the baby will be afraid of it, and in the opposite is the classic music. Baby weight is about 1700-1800 mg and has 40 cm height at the week 31st. The pace of the motions increase to top, but soon it stops and the room for that becomes tight. Premature births become less under the vigilant medical experts and doctor in the recent times. That helps the mothers to give a birth quite healthy baby in an appropriate time. This fact curtails the number of infant deaths.
The eight week
So the week 8 starts. Baby grows another 4-6 cm more and gains more 800 mg weight. Meanwhile he/she poses and gets ready for the birth.
During this week such essential body organs as the heart (completely formed and has four chambers), intestines (the baby still sips) and kidney are working very well.
The brain, liver and lungs also slightly function no matter when baby born in the 7th or in 9th month.
At 32-36 weeks is time for the lungs and breathe development. As it was mention above that at the week 28th the baby is completely viable. That’s right but no there is a process coming up in the eight month. It is fat layer on the lungs which prevents alveolus to stick together during each inhalation.
Heart beating becomes more often- about 130 beats per minute. Blood circulation runs through umbilical cord. The aperture between left and right half of the heart is still open.
During the eight month the skin becomes pink not ruby as it was before. The reason is the fat under the skin, which helps to conceal the veins and makes the skin soft. Fluffs, on the skin, disappear later on.
At this time the baby look alike of the parents. So his/her face futures become more distinguished. Baby reduces the motion rates per day as the space around him/her becomes less and less. Now the mother can easily tell the baby’s position simply touching the belly, as the head, legs and hands outline themselves.
In many cases the baby takes the proper position at this time for the birth. The head turns downside. In some cases, as in tight womb, that is not a possible step. In this case baby is born buttocks – the legs ahead.
By the week 36 the baby has 2.5 kg weight and 44-46 cm height.
The 9 month
The last month of pregnancy became and intrauterine baby development is over. Now baby is ready to be born. It is very normal to have baby since 36 week up to 40 week. Last week is to gain baby’s weight; it is about 20 grams per day. At the end baby takes more 5 cm height.
Many moms are afraid that baby does not moving, so this is how it’s supposed to be, because baby does not have enough place to move.
The womb goes down, and baby turns over legs up (sometimes this process happened earlier)
At the 9th month very common event that pregnant woman feels very fast urination. This is easy to explain, because baby’s head press on the urinary bladder without allowing it to be filled.
Last days before giving birth the uterus acts faster, it is like self preparation process. Woman usually did not feel this muscle action, and did not feel changes.
Baby weights about 3-4 kg closer to 40th week. Statistic shows that last years many baby were born 4-5 kg, this is because many woman eat too much during pregnancy. Birth of big baby is complicated that normal weight baby, so we advise you to follow doctor’s recommendations and keep some diet.
