The baby is almost ready for birth, as is the mother; there are literally a couple of weeks left, and the birth can be considered urgent. If the baby arrives right now, it will be quite viable, but born prematurely. At the same time, it will practically not require special care, his lungs have matured and he will be able to breathe on his own, his heart, digestive and excretory systems are actively working, and his genitals have formed. However, the baby continues to actively develop and prepare for its new, extrauterine life. Nowadays, vitamins and iron are actively accumulating, and calcium is being actively deposited in bone tissue. The nervous, immune and endocrine system, the child swallows amniotic fluid and sucks his fingers in preparation for breastfeeding.
Changes in the body at 36 weeks
Your body is large and clumsy due to a large belly and weight gained; many women gain up to 15 kg or even more by this time, so it is important to control your body weight. The appetite at this time is good, especially if the stomach begins to drop and the uterus no longer puts so much pressure on the stomach. The descent occurs about a couple of weeks before birth, this is especially noticeable in first-time mothers. In this case, the baby’s head lowers into the mother’s pelvic area due to the gradual preparation and smoothing of the cervix.
Training contractions often occur, but if you don’t feel them, it’s not dangerous; every woman prepares for birth differently. During training contractions there is no regularity and pain; the walls of the uterus contract without opening the cervix, and without pathological discharge. If, during training contractions, the stomach and lower back are pulled, this indicates the beginning of labor activity, you must go to the hospital immediately. When training contractions intensify, which usually happens in the evening, you should just lie on your left side and rest. They pass quickly.
Difficulties appearing with sleep - because of the stomach, it is difficult to choose a comfortable position and insomnia can torment you, this is a kind of preparation for postpartum period when caring for a baby will require a lot of time. But you still need to sleep and get proper rest, find for yourself comfortable position, drink less water at night, take a warm bath, give yourself a massage, take a walk before bed and ventilate more often.
It is important to move carefully and slowly, as the center of gravity is shifted and there is a risk of falls and injuries. To relieve your back and lower back, wear a special bandage, rest often and take a knee-elbow position. Works more actively due to pressure bladder, and you will often want to go to the toilet, but there are difficulties with the intestines - frequent constipation. The legs swell greatly, which requires raising them to an elevated position and resting. By lowering the abdomen, it will become easier to breathe and shortness of breath and malaise will disappear.
Fetal development at 36 weeks: weight, size and gender
The child has grown to approximately 47-48 cm, while weight can range from 2.6 to 2.8 kg, depending on individual characteristics and pace of development. The baby has round, plump cheeks, enough subcutaneous tissue has accumulated and the body is rounded. This will give the baby the opportunity to maintain body temperature after birth. It is increasingly difficult for him to move due to his size, he stretches and pushes more and more, moves his head, and all his movements are clearly felt by the mother. He actively sucks his fingers, plays with his umbilical cord, yawns, hiccups and opens his eyes. It is important to monitor the movements. The norm of movements is at least ten in 12 hours. If the movements are sluggish or too active, you should go for a walk; perhaps the child is not getting enough oxygen.
The skull has not yet completely ossified; there are sutures that allow the head to be configured during labor and pass the birth canal more easily. This is necessary to protect the delicate and sensitive brain of the fetus from injury. Now all the organs and systems of the fetus are almost ready for birth, and it is actively accumulating strength and nutrients to meet a new world. His lungs are fully mature, he can breathe on his own, hormones are actively released, which allows him to regulate his metabolism. The nervous system is improving, more and more new nervous connections and reflexes are being formed. Now the child has taken his final position. If he is in breech, then the question of the method of delivery will be decided
Childbirth at 36 weeks
If your belly has already dropped, labor will begin soon. On average, a couple of weeks pass from the moment the baby is born. But you need to prepare and always have identification documents, a medical insurance policy and an exchange card with you. If labor begins at the 36th week of pregnancy, everything will go well - children at this stage are fully viable and ready for extrauterine life. But still, it’s worth waiting until the baby has time to accumulate weight and strength for independent life. Therefore, give up provoking factors - carrying heavy objects and moving furniture, physical activity, active sexual contacts. If your pregnancy is multiple, this period is quite favorable for the birth of babies.
If you feel regular contractions, your water breaks or bloody issues, you need to get ready for the hospital immediately. Most likely, labor has already begun.
Feelings of the expectant mother
Frequent hiccups in a baby
The main sensations from this stage of pregnancy are increasing fatigue and the desire to give birth as soon as possible. The weight of the body and abdomen tires, limits movement and gives back pain, it is uncomfortable to sleep, heartburn and shortness of breath are tormented. You suffer from sudden changes in mood, an elated and cheerful mood is suddenly replaced by anxiety and tears, depression and fear of motherhood. It will be especially difficult if this is your first pregnancy and occurs after long period expectations. Such women are very worried about the baby and his health, about how the process will go through his birth. You need to rest more, turn to loved ones for support, and do the pleasant chores of preparing a dowry.
This week, nausea and heartburn may occur due to stomach tightening, as well as diarrhea and vomiting, this is a kind of “cleaning” of the body. Due to intestinal compression, constipation develops, and then you should seek help from a doctor. There is severe swelling in the arms and legs, but the swelling will gradually go away, leading to weight loss.
Now your body is experiencing double stress, your heart pumps 50% more blood than before pregnancy, and your body is working at its maximum possible level. You may experience weakness and fatigue, fatigue and a desire to sleep during the day. Although nesting syndrome may also occur - strong desire wash everything and tidy the house to prepare it for the baby. All these unpleasant sensations must be endured for several weeks. Walk and relax more often, be active, you are not sick, you are just expecting a baby.
Condition of the uterus at 36 obstetric weeks
The abdominal circumference reached its maximum - approximately 100 cm in girth. The walls of the uterus literally rest against the ribs, which makes it difficult to bend over and put on shoes, causing shortness of breath and discomfort. The height of the bottom from the womb has reached a maximum of 36 cm, now it will only decrease slightly. The tummy requires support in the form of a bandage to prevent discomfort and pain in the back and lower back.
Often there are training contractions that intensify in the evening, while they are irregular and not painful, they do not lead to dilatation of the cervix. The stomach may be visually different sizes– for some it is small and sharp, for others it is round and voluminous. It depends on the capacity of the pelvis and body type. You need to carefully monitor the condition of the uterus - a short cervix indicates an imminent birth, while its internal os opens and the fetal head descends.
If hardening of the uterus occurs with nagging pain in the lower back, this is increased tone. It is worth lying down to rest and taking papaverine or no-shpa to reduce tone and reduce the likelihood of premature labor. If you experience regular contractions, bleeding or water breaking, you should immediately go to the maternity hospital.
Ultrasound examination (Uzi)
All planned ultrasounds have already been completed, and at this time an examination is prescribed to further clarify the presentation and study some indicators. Using a sensor and Dopplerometry, the doctor will evaluate ultrasound indicators - the position of the fetus and the condition of the umbilical cord and placenta, the number amniotic fluid and their condition, fetal blood flow and the degree of maturity of the placenta. This will help the doctor decide on the management of childbirth - will it be natural or by caesarean section.
Ultrasound determines the estimated date of birth, estimated weight, fetal growth, maturity of the placenta, and the absence of pathological inclusions in it. The doctor will also review the condition in detail again. internal organs fetus If necessary, parents also conduct a 3D ultrasound, during which they examine the child’s face and all its organs and systems and take photographs.
Symptoms and signs of oligohydramnios
Using ultrasound data, you can determine the amount of amniotic fluid and identify symptoms of oligohydramnios. At pronounced oligohydramnios parts of the fetus are clearly felt, it moves with difficulty and all its movements are strongly pronounced, the heartbeat can be heard clearly, and the volume of the abdomen and the height of the fundus may decrease. Oligohydramnios indicates pathologies during pregnancy, as well as some malformations of the fetus.
Symptoms and signs of polyhydramnios
The opposite symptoms occur with polyhydramnios, which can occur with fetal kidney defects, with diabetes mellitus mothers, pathologies of the heart and liver, intrauterine infection In this case, severe polyhydramnios leads to a strong increase in the size of the abdomen, parts of the fetal body are difficult to palpate, fluid is felt under the hands, the heartbeat is muffled, and the child moves actively. With polyhydramnios, due to severe stretching of the uterine walls, there is a risk of premature birth.
Discharge
Do not worry about an increase in the amount of discharge - during this period, the mucous plug that protected the baby during pregnancy may slowly come away. Discharge can normally be thick, milky or translucent, without pathological impurities. The mucus plug may come off in parts or as a lump of mucus with pink or brown streaks.
However, if spotting or dark, scarlet blood appears, you should call immediately. ambulance– these may be signs of placental abruption or the onset of labor. Placental abruption may also cause abdominal pain, nausea, pallor and dizziness due to internal bleeding. This condition is fatal and requires immediate assistance. With placental abruption and increased uterine tone, bleeding may occur, which can threaten the death of the fetus.
You also need to take the occurrence of sharp-smelling green, gray, yellow, foamy, cheesy discharge no less seriously. They indicate the development of genital infections or thrush, which need to be treated as soon as possible so that the infection does not spread to membranes and was not passed on to the child. Such infections also cause itching and burning in the vagina and perineum, sleep disturbances and general well-being.
How to recognize leakage of amniotic fluid
Leaking amniotic fluid will also be dangerous - they indicate a violation of the integrity of the amniotic sac and high risk fetal infection. In this condition, labor should take place within the next 24 hours. It is not always easy to recognize amniotic fluid - if it comes out in large volumes, there is no doubt, but if it leaks there may be copious amounts of liquid transparent discharge with a sweetish odor. A doctor can determine them using a special test, and at home, using a special test pad from a pharmacy will help. If amniotic fluid is detected, you should immediately contact the maternity hospital.
Pain
During this period, various pains are quite common; they can occur in the back and lower back due to big size abdomen and changes in the center of gravity. Wearing a bandage that supports the stomach and relieves the load on the back will help relieve them. Pain in the area pubic bone occur due to relaxation pubic symphysis, and some of its divergence, to facilitate the passage of the head. Pain in the pelvis and joints appears due to the action of the hormone relaxin, it softens the ligaments and relaxes the joints. This will make it easier for the baby to pass through the birth canal, but leads to discomfort for the woman. Sometimes there is specific pain between the legs, resulting from the pressure of the fetal head on the pelvic area and bladder. Itching and pain in the anal area with the development of hemorrhoids may also occur - you should immediately report this to your doctor.
It is especially dangerous if there is a strong pull in the lower abdomen, lower back pain or a hard stomach. This is a sign of increased tone, leading to the development of premature labor. If the tone is strong, the blood circulation in the placenta is impaired, and detachment may even occur. In this case, contractions and bleeding from the vagina may occur - you should immediately consult a doctor.
No less dangerous is the development of edema with sharp headaches, spots before the eyes and malaise. At the same time, it appears in the urine a large number of squirrel. This could be a development late toxicosis pregnancy, which threatens complications with the development of preeclampsia and eclampsia. In this condition, the issue of delivery is urgently resolved.
Colds and treatments
A mother's cold is especially dangerous during this period - viruses can lead to damage to the placenta and its calcifications, premature aging and fetal hypoxia. Therefore, it is important to protect yourself from colds, especially in the off-season. If you feel unwell, the temperature rises, a runny nose and cough occur, you should immediately go to bed and call a doctor. It is important to check with your doctor how to treat a cold, as some medications can negatively affect pregnancy at this stage. For fever, you need to take Nurofen or paracetamol; a runny nose is treated with nasal rinses saline solutions and burying vasoconstrictor drops no more than three to four days. When you cough, the tone of the uterus may increase; you should definitely check with your doctor about what medications you can take.
Mom's diet and weight
Your weight may increase to 12-15 kg, but there may be an increase of more. This usually happens in thin women or those who eat very intense and high-calorie diets. Get rid of extra pounds It won’t be easy, and it’s important to pay close attention to your diet now. It is worth abandoning the practice of “eating for two”, you need to eat less fatty and carbohydrate foods, giving preference to protein and plant foods, it is important to consume more fiber to prevent constipation. Now your appetite may increase due to the lowering of your stomach, but you should limit the amount of food you eat. Sometimes your doctor may recommend that you fasting days to reduce swelling and reduce weight gain.
Monitor the quality of products to prevent food poisoning and intestinal infections. It is important that the food is freshly prepared and well-heated - diarrhea and vomiting with fever are completely unnecessary for you now.
Sex
During this period, sex may be in question - if increased tone it can provoke premature birth. If your body is already preparing for the birth of a baby, then you need to give up intimacy. If the doctor does not mind, you should choose positions with shallow penetration, and also reduce the intensity intimate life. Orgasm during this period can increase tone and lead to increased blood supply to the placenta and fetus.
Each week of pregnancy is significantly different from the previous one. The expectant mother needs to know the specifics of gestation in order to properly take care of her health and the condition of the baby.
Pregnancy 35–36 weeks is a serious period at which it is quite possible physiological birth. How does this gestation period proceed?
Fetal condition
A living organism located in the womb at this moment can rightfully be called a child. The baby already has enough a big increase(up to 46 cm) and weight - about two and a half kilograms.
All major organs and systems are formed. The cardiovascular system is fully functioning, the patent ducts will close in the first days after birth.
The baby’s nervous system is well developed, the child is already capable of:
- Make movements with facial muscles.
- Distinguish between different tastes.
- Distinguish melodies and sounds, respond to them with movements.
Serious changes are already taking place in the respiratory system. Inner surface The alveoli are covered with surfactant, which prevents them from collapsing and ensures proper breathing.
The child begins to practice breathing through the nose, which was previously closed by mucus plugs.
The cartilage contains the main stages of ossification, and the muscular system is already fully formed. The child’s movements are complete and correct, voluntarily controlled by the central nervous system.
Mom's condition
The moment of childbirth is approaching and the expectant mother must take this deadline very seriously. At this moment, the following changes may be observed in the pregnant woman’s body:
- The weight gain is already a decent 15 kilograms. This places serious stress on the spine. It is recommended to use a maternity bandage and not overload yourself with work.
- The amount of amniotic fluid gradually decreases, which is a prerequisite for the onset of labor. The child can do active movements, associated with a certain discomfort, you should not be afraid of this.
- Cervix expectant mother gradually softens and shortens, preparing for childbirth.
- Gradually, the woman’s breathing becomes easier and deeper, due to the fact that the child descends into the pelvic cavity and ceases to put pressure on the diaphragm. This moment has negative side– there may be a regular urge to urinate due to compression of the bladder.
- At this time, in the area of the veins of the lower extremities, varicose veins and swelling. Try to rest more and stay away long time on foot.
The listed changes are completely physiological in nature, you should not be afraid of them at all.
Pain and discharge
Special symptoms that a woman should monitor at each stage of gestation are pain and discharge. What changes do these manifestations undergo?
At 35–36 weeks the following pain sensations are characteristic:
- Painful pulling sensations in the lumbar region are the most common pain during this period.
- Pain in the anal area may indicate an unpleasant disease such as hemorrhoids. On later During pregnancy, this condition requires timely treatment.
- Pain in the area of the pelvic bones, hips and pubis is associated with softening and stretching of the ligamentous elements. Quite normal phenomenon at a later date.
- Abdominal pain and muscle tension can be a harbinger of labor; extreme uterine hypertonicity is not normal and requires elimination.
- Pain in calf muscles associated with increased stress and accompanied by swelling of the legs.
- Lower back pain in the kidney area is an unfavorable sign indicating the presence of preeclampsia.
In late pregnancy, vaginal discharge may also undergo changes:
- Before labor begins, the discharge becomes heavier and more viscous for several weeks.
- The appearance of unusual discharge may indicate the passage of a mucus plug from the cervical canal. They can be colorless, but are more often pinkish.
- Curdled, cloudy, purulent discharge is an alarm signal and indicates an infection in the genital tract. Require immediate treatment.
- Bloody discharge of any amount requires immediate help, because it indicates a pathology of the placenta.
- Abundant liquid discharge are amniotic fluid and indicate the onset of labor.
To ensure that the end of pregnancy and the birth itself are easy and painless, it is recommended to adhere to certain rules. Doctors advise expectant mothers the following:
- Visit a specialist regularly at intervals of about 7 days. It is not necessary to visit a gynecologist, it is enough to attend courses antenatal clinic in preparation for childbirth.
- Avoid taking all rare foods for your baby. medicines, discuss the use of each medication with a specialist. The third trimester is a time when medications can seriously harm the baby.
- Eat right, avoid drinking alcohol and smoking. These rules are relevant throughout pregnancy, but at the time of childbirth they become especially important.
- Read more specialized literature about childbirth and pregnancy, the first days of a child’s life. Pick up all the necessary things for your unborn child. These actions will not only make the first days after childbirth easier, but will also form maternal dominance in the central nervous system.
- Avoid work and long journeys. Spend the last weeks of pregnancy in peace and comfort, do not create unnecessary stress for your child.
Simple rules can make the life of an expectant mother easier.
Harbingers
A few weeks before labor begins, special symptoms, which are typical for ending pregnancy. Every expectant mother should know these signs, because they indicate an approaching important moment.
Precursors at 35–36 weeks of pregnancy include the following manifestations:
- Abdominal prolapse. As mentioned earlier, the presenting part of the fetus at this time descends into the plane of the small pelvis. At this time, the configuration of a woman’s abdomen naturally changes.
- Heartburn and breathing difficulties disappear. The prolapse of the pregnant uterus leads to a decrease in pressure on the diaphragm, as a result of which the functioning of the organs located in the chest is normalized.
- Pain in the lower back increases. The greatest load begins to fall on the lumbar spine. The sacroiliac ligaments are stretched, which together can cause unpleasant symptoms.
- Urge to go to the toilet. The pressure of the pelvic organs on the bladder and rectum increases. As a result, it is possible frequent urge on urination and defecation. Do not be afraid of these manifestations; constipation during these periods is much more dangerous.
- The expectant mother's appetite increases. As a result of restructuring of the vegetative nervous system there may be an increase in appetite, which resembles symptoms early dates gestation.
- Change of mood. Lability of the nervous system is possible due to special neuroendocrine changes. It is recommended to relieve this condition by listening to soothing music and setting a special mood for a positive course of labor.
- Irregular contractions. The muscles of the uterus and abdominals are preparing for childbirth, and therefore the woman may feel quite strong, but irregular muscle contractions. These manifestations do not mean the onset of labor.
The listed manifestations should be distinguished from the signs of beginning labor, which will be discussed later in the text.
Sex
Many expectant parents are interested in the question of whether it is possible to have intimacy in the later stages of pregnancy.
During 35–36 weeks of pregnancy, the expectant mother’s body is already in full swing preparing for childbirth; any impact can become a reason for the onset of labor. And sex is a pretty strong stress factor.
Doctors do not advise having sex several weeks before the expected date of pregnancy:
- During intimacy, a woman’s body produces large quantities of the hormone oxytocin, which leads to strong contractions of the uterus.
- Prostaglandins in the seminal fluid of a man can also become a stimulant of labor.
- Direct mechanical irritation becomes a factor in the onset of labor.
The situation is different when the pregnancy is postterm. In this condition intimacy V correct poses can be a useful event for the onset of labor.
Surveys
During the last weeks of pregnancy, it is possible to carry out some examinations that allow for correct delivery or surgical resolution.
Among the frequently performed examinations are the following methods:
- Ultrasound – the last third screening is very often performed at around 35 weeks of pregnancy. During this examination, a final assessment of the condition of the fetus and amniotic organs is given.
- Analysis for HIV, hepatitis and syphilis - if positive result at least one of these examinations radically changes the woman’s delivery tactics.
- Biochemical blood test for last weeks gestation gives an idea of the state of the woman’s internal organs.
- A vaginal smear allows you to make sure that a woman’s birth canal is sanitized and will not become a factor in infecting the baby.
- A general urine test allows you to judge the condition of the kidneys and excludes conditions such as preeclampsia.
- Cardiotocography is an extremely informative technique that assesses the frequency and strength of fetal contractions and its heartbeat. Allows you to exclude the presence of hypoxia.
Also, in the last weeks of pregnancy, a woman’s exchange card is issued.
Childbirth
The described gestational age may well be the time of the onset of labor. Every expectant mother should have a good understanding of this process.
The onset of labor is indicated by:
- The appearance of regular contractions of the abdominal and uterine muscles. These sensations are called contractions and their main criterion is regularity. Muscle contractions are repeated every 20 minutes or more often, and the intervals between them gradually decrease.
- Discharge of the cervical mucus plug. This manifestation is quite nonspecific. Departure can occur quite early - a few days before birth, and sometimes occurs on the day of the onset of labor.
- Leakage of amniotic fluid – and this symptom is quite difficult to miss. A large amount of fluid appears from the genital tract. Sometimes leakage occurs gradually, less often quite abruptly in a large volume.
Knowing these signs, most women will not miss the onset of labor and will seek help from specialists in time. Don't be afraid of this early start labor activity.
At 36 weeks of pregnancy, physiological birth is quite possible. If there are no indications for a cesarean section, doctors recommend giving birth naturally.
- this is finally the beginning of the long-awaited ninth month! This, one might say, is the home stretch, because from the 36th week of pregnancy the body begins to thoroughly prepare for childbirth. Expectant mothers should make sure that they have a packed bag of things ready. It may be needed at any time. Can you imagine if you go into labor and your bag is not packed? What if it happens at night? Indeed, according to statistics, most births begin at night.
Today we will look at what happens to the fetus during this period, how the pregnant woman feels, how to recognize the warning signs of labor, and more.
By the way, if you look at obstetric period, then you are now 38 weeks from the start of your last period. But the standard gestational age, as a rule, is set according to the real “age” of the fetus, that is, from the moment of conception and formation of the embryo.
Baby at 36 weeks of pregnancy
By the beginning of the ninth month, the child is fully developed. Basically, all he has to do is gain weight and grow a little, and he will be ready to be born.
He now weighs approximately 2,600 kg. Although some children may weigh more. The baby's height is about 45-47 centimeters. Head diameter 9.2-9.4 cm.
The fruit looks like little man in the fetal position. He has all the parts of his body, nails on his fingers, hairs on his head. Leather Pink colour and it is already practically wrinkle-free thanks to subcutaneous fat.
The baby at 36 weeks of pregnancy continues to gradually descend. But only before the birth will its head be fully inserted into the pelvis.
The placenta now plays the main role in the baby’s respiratory system. It is through this that gas exchange occurs. Therefore, it is important for mommy to breathe more often fresh air so that her child can also breathe easier.
And, of course, the fetus at this stage of pregnancy normally makes regular movements, which the mother feels and sees without difficulty. Only in cases where it occurs oxygen starvation the fetus stops moving or moves extremely rarely and sparingly compared to previous weeks. This is the first bell to immediately contact a doctor!
For you, expectant mother
The 36th week of pregnancy has arrived, and you feel like a clumsy bear. And this is understandable. After all, because of the large belly, the center of gravity has changed, now your shoulders are slightly pulled back and your head is thrown back slightly. The angle of view changes. You may not see much in front of you because of your stomach. You often bump into objects and everything flies out of your hands.
Do not worry! The main thing is not to go far from home and it is better to be accompanied by your husband or other loved one, who can support you and take care of you if something happens.
36th week of pregnancy harbingers of labor
Surely many pregnant women at 9 months begin to better listen to their feelings. Because any changes in well-being may indicate that childbirth will occur soon.
So, if you are 36 weeks pregnant, the warning signs of labor may be:
- My stomach dropped. In the mirror, you may notice how your stomach is much lower than before. This means the baby has inserted its head into the pelvis and is ready to be born.
- Training contractions appeared or, if they had already existed before, they began to happen more often during the day. How to distinguish false contractions from real birth ones is described in the article (see the title “Tugging stomach”).
- The plug has come out. It looks like a transparent thick discharge mixed with blood. The plug can come off either a week before the birth or during the birth itself. birth process at the stage of contractions.
- Minor water leakage. When a little fluid is released during the day. It is better to inform your doctor about this.
- Stool disorder. Liquefied and frequent stools are the main signal imminent birth, which can happen in 1-2 days.
Please note that you may not have all of the listed precursors of labor. And the presence of these signs cannot confirm that childbirth will occur within a few days. It's all individual.
Let us remind you that the most a clear sign that labor is about to begin is a loosening of the stool. Other symptoms (prolapse of the abdomen, false contractions, passage of a plug, leakage of water) may indicate that you can expect delivery in 1-2 weeks, or even more.
Your feelings
Feelings at 36 weeks of pregnancy expectant mother may be as follows:
- Improvement in well-being compared to previous weeks (if the fetus has dropped). Shortness of breath and heartburn may disappear.
- Aching pain in the lower abdomen and lower back. These are training or, in other words, false contractions.
- Frequent urination. As the baby moves downwards, it puts pressure on the bladder. Now you go to the toilet too often. And often there is a feeling that after leaving the toilet, you want to urinate again. This is fine.
- A feeling of the presence of excess fluid in the body, when the fingers have become noticeably thicker, and the legs are constantly swelling. The main thing here is not to miss.
- At week 36, a pregnant woman may feel pain of varying intensity in the joints: hips, ankles, hands, etc. It occurs due to relaxed ligaments as a result of the action of hormones.
Most important advice at this time, you should consult a doctor immediately if:
- Bloody discharge;
- Heat;
- Rush of amniotic fluid;
- Dizziness and blurred vision;
- Regular labor pains;
- No movement of the child for 12 hours.
To summarize, we note that the 36th week of pregnancy can become stressful for a mother if she is worried about the precursors of labor. In any case, we advise all pregnant women to remain calm and believe that everything will be fine. In general, childbirth is a natural process that most women go through. And there’s nothing scary about that! When labor begins, fear disappears by itself, and the woman becomes calm. This is inherent in nature.

Good morning everyone!
I read and think - why do many people agree to what is dictated to them by their husband’s older brothers or sisters? Are you afraid of a scandal? But in the author’s topic, her husband is on her side.
We must try to say NO.
Our own family, our own plans and expenses - the second option - we don’t have the money for this. It's not a shame that no extra money. Many people live like this, almost all of them.
It's much easier to live the way I want. And give gifts the way I want.
To the author of the topic, I hope he reads it. Have courage, don't fume futilely
Tell your family that you have already bought a gift, which you agreed with your mother-in-law in advance.
And there are smartphones for 5 thousand. Not every worker has ten, they also have push-button ones.

I am 26, my husband is 29. I have been married for 2 years, but before that we dated for 6 years.
When we got married, he seemed to want a child, but I was against it. I finally wanted to live just the two of us.
And now, 1.5 years later, he changed his mind. At first there were excuses, why do you need to spoil your figure, then come on, why do we need these foolish children. But I insisted and returned to this conversation from time to time.
By the way, my sister has a lot of complications after a cesarean section, maybe that’s what scared him so much. I foolishly shared the details.
The last time he said that he didn’t want to condemn me to suffering and let’s better adopt. And he has tears in his eyes. What should I do?

I got to thinking here that there are several friends whose personal lives are a complete (in my opinion!) nightmare. Relationships with married people that lead nowhere, lack of personal life as a class - well, a lot of different things.
From time to time I feel incredibly sad for some of them. And I want to say a lot, but I keep myself within the bounds of reason.
The question is how you react to your friends' stories. Do you recommend? Are you judging? Or are you trying to remain neutral?
A period of 36 weeks of pregnancy indicates that you will soon meet your long-awaited baby. The mother can gain 10-12 kg or even more, the child already weighs 2600. The preparation of the mother’s and baby’s bodies for the upcoming event continues.
The future birth and the condition of the baby depend on the well-being of the expectant mother at 36 weeks of pregnancy after conception. You need to pay attention to any changes in your body, which is important at 36 weeks of pregnancy.
