Week Thirty-one Pregnancy

Your Baby –

• Is now 3.3 pounds 
• Loves sucking his/her thumb, yawning and kicking 
• Some of the turn offs are loud noises and getting the hiccups 

You –

• Maybe congested inexplicably and weirdly all the time. 
• Pregnancy colds are very common as your immune system is highly affected. Slow down, take vitamins and get plenty of sleep. 

Growth might be slowing down a little bit. Your baby is developing slowly as there is not much room in there. All of the important body functions are working well and time spent in the uterus is all about gaining weight and lung growth. 

Since it is around 31st week, you might be tired of answering when you are due. It will keep up until the delivery. Now the uterus expands more than 4 inches over the belly button. Internal organs are also moving around to make space for the growth of the fetus. It can cause pains, aches, and problems with constipation and digestion. You may also be going to pee constantly as you are feeling the pressure on your bladder. Women with multiples may also be attending appointments at this moment every week.
