Month 8
What will you feel?
Eighth month of pregnancy, as a rule, will not bring any surprises for you, as most of the way to birth is already behind you, and there is hardly anything that can surprise you. Still, to be prepared, we present some of the eight-month features of your pregnancy:
Increasing activity of the stalk in your abdomen due to the little space available
Braxton-Hicks contractions, which have already been mentioned in our previous issues
Separation of colostrum from the chest
Problems with the digestive system - bloating, heartburn, constipation
Often walking a little in need
Dizziness, headache
Swelling of legs, varicose veins, hemorrhoids
Itching on the skin of the abdomen, stretch marks
How will the baby develop?
And in the eighth month the baby continues to grow at a rapid pace, reaching about 45 cm in length and weighing 2.5 kg at the end of the period!
All organs and systems are well-developed, so if born prematurely, it has real chances to survive.
In addition, the baby can react to specific incentives he already knows, for example, your voice or that of the people closest to you who he hears. It is for this reason that specialists recommend that future mothers talk to their baby, listen to good music and provide as many positive emotions and tranquility as possible.
Now the baby's head and head are proportionally distributed, they have eyelashes and eyebrows, and if you look at it ultrasound, you will clearly see the different grimaces it makes in your abdomen - it can blink, blow your cheeks and suck your thumb .
