Your Body at Week 34

Have you officially moved into the bathroom yet? This stage of pregnancy, your bladder is defiantly feeling the strain of your baby. Frequently needing to use the bathroom, is so common around this time, that I bet it feels like you never get out of it! This will only happen even more so in weeks to come as your baby prepares for birth and pushes more on your bladder.

If you are waking up in the middle of the night needing to use the bathroom, try not drinking fluids after a certain time and always make sure, you are using the bathroom before you go to bed.

Your Baby At Week 34

If you are experiencing lots of kicks in the ribs this week, that means your baby is lying vertically or horizontally. However, most babies by 35 weeks are lying vertically in preparation for birth.

Week 34 TODO's

Buy enough pads this week as you may be starting to leak as your baby starts to move its way down ready for labour.
If you are struggling at work, letting your employer know that you are feeling this way may be the best thing and they may suggest starting your maternity leave earlier.
Eating smaller meals throughout the day can help with improving your sleep. However, this may not be the case.
Make sure this week your partner has packed their hospital bag.
