33. week of pregnancy: how is your baby developing?

A fetus in the 33rd week of pregnancy weighs more than 2 kg, and is 45 cm measured from the top of the head to the top of the head. From then on, the baby will grow approximately 2.5 cm per week, and will gain approximately 250 g in weight.

The baby's body continues to accumulate fat. It already has quite a lot of it - fat can be up to 10 percent. his little bodies. The network of blood vessels is no longer visible on the skin, and its color changes from red to pink.

The pupils of the eyes narrow when exposed to light. The child also hears better and feels more and more. The two sounds he likes most are your heartbeat and your voice.

  • What does the fetus see, feel and hear?

In the 33rd week of pregnancy, the fetus improves its immune system, and through the placenta, immune antibodies are transmitted to its body.

Boys should have fully developed testicles, which should go down to the scrotum at this stage of pregnancy. However, if not, don't worry - in some male fetuses the testes descend into the scrotum within a year of giving birth.

  • Interesting facts about pregnancy

The baby is intensively practicing breathing, inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid. He will not suffocate - the lungs will start working only after the birth, with the first "real" breath.

The temperament of the baby at 33 weeks is already formed. Based on how it behaves in your stomach, you can try to predict what it will be like after the birth: whether it will be calm (if he is not too crazy now) or vigorous (if he is currently fidgeting and not letting you rest).

The child is already consciously looking around his tummy, turning his head from side to side.

33. week of pregnancy: what's happening to you?

This piece of textBe sure to show your partner: it's normal for women in the 33rd week of pregnancy to be irritable, get nervous, cry, and in a moment become euphoric and happily plan the future of their baby, and even look for a good school for him. Such extreme emotions are caused by quite an explosive mixture of pregnancy hormones and more and more frequent thoughts about giving birth.

Instead of getting nervous, let him hug you, bring you your favorite chocolates, play a movie that will always relax you and ensure that everything is going well.

You may now have heartburn more and more. This is nothing to worry about: the enormous belly presses against the stomach, causing the food, mixed with gastric juice, to flow back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation. Eat more often, but in small portions - this should help.

33. week of pregnancy: the most important recommendations

In the 33rd week of pregnancy (up to 37th week) you should do some important tests: blood count, urinalysis, vaginal cleanliness, HBs antigen, and HIV testing. You also need to perform a culture from the vaginal vestibule and the area around the anus for B-hemolytic streptococci and cytology, if you haven't had one before. VDRL and HCV tests are also performed in women at increased risk of infection.

Try to sleep on your left side now. This position prevents swelling and the annoying tingling sensation in the limbs.

Your breathing has shortened considerably now, because the large uterus is putting pressure on all internal organs, including the lungs, which cannot fully expand now. However, this is not dangerous for the baby: he constantly receives as much oxygen as he needs through the placenta.

However, if you feel that your breathing problem has worsened, and you also feel chest pain, and your lips or fingertips have turned blue, be sure to contact your doctor or call an ambulance service.

Any movement of the baby can now cause severe pain. No wonder - the toddler is already big and is not kicking, but actually bulges in your body. When this happens frequently, change position or stand up and take a few steps.
