I just looked at The Bump website this morning to see this update. Officially 33 weeks yesterday. If you look down at the "Pregnancy Symptoms" portion of the article you will see a list of four things. Good grief, I had every single one of them this weekend. I honestly don't know if I have ever had a worse case of pregnancy brain than I did on Saturday. But I will blog about that later.
33 Weeks Pregnant
We’d
tell you to take a deep breath and relax, but it’s probably tough to do
either of those at 33 weeks. It’s probably tough to be comfortable at
all, since you might be feeling overheated on top of your other
symptoms, too. But you’re probably getting super excited to meet baby,
and we can’t blame you. Week 33 is a good time to make sure you have a
safe car seat for baby -- go ahead and install it already. Sure, you
might not see baby for another month, but if you have an early surprise
arrival, that’s the one thing you really need to have ready.
Your baby's the size of a durian!
He weighs about 4.2 to 5.8 pounds and measures about 17.2 to 18.7
inches. And he may grow up to a full inch this week -- amazing.
your baby at 33 weeks
- He's keeping his eyes open while awake.
- He's also starting to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing.
- His bones are hardening.
- And he going through (more) major brain development -- that's one smart baby!
pregnancy symptoms at 33 weeks - Hot! Your metabolic rate is through the roof, and that may leave you feeling overheated.
- Headaches, due to hormone fluctuations, stress or dehydration.
- Shortness of breath -- though you're probably used to it by now.
- Forgetfulness and clumsiness, also known as baby brain. This is totally normal.
your must-do's - Install baby's car seat, and get it checked by a professional.
your nice-to-do's - Stock up on postpartum supplies.
- Read up on newborn care.
- Call your hospital to find out if there's an in-house lactation consultant and ask how you can be sure to have her help after delivery.
- Get the nursery in working order.
