Well I turned 35 weeks pregnant yesterday! Only 3 more weeks to go until I’m officially “full-term” and ready to push out a small human (although she could pull a “like mommy like daughter” move and come at 36 weeks). So I just want to check in with you all and share a quick 35 weeks pregnant bump-date!

35 Weeks Pregnant Bump-Date - What does being 35 Weeks Actually Mean?
If you’ve never experienced pregnancy and are wondering what’s going on in there at this point, here’s a little insight from the apps I use (I love P Tracker and Ovia Pregnancy!).
- Baby is about the size of a savoy cabbage (whatever the heck THAT is…) at about 18″ long and 5lbs
- Vernix caseosa (helps baby move through birth canal) is starting to cover her little body
- Peeing up to a pint a day (woah!) and preparing for her first poo
- Common symptoms for mom include: confusion, blurry vision, swollen feet, constipation, hemorrhoids (yay), increased vaginal discharge, frequent urination, and lower back pain
- Time to prepare for baby by making sure we have our route to the hospital memorized and our pre-registration taken care of!
My specific symptoms are definitely a lot of pelvic pain and pressure, since baby girl is head down and ready for action. I also feel like I want to eat All. The. Time! Seriously I’m gaining about 3 lbs per week, which is slightly alarming, but I think I’m also retaining a lot of fluid. I go in for a check up today so we’ll see what my midwife has to say when I weigh in lol. Honestly though, I’m not really worrying about it anymore. I feel OK, it’s almost 100 degrees outside, and I know my body wouldn’t be gaining the weight if it didn’t need it. I have finally found a workout routine that I think is pretty doable at this stage though, so I’m excited to start that today as well! I’ll be doing a combination of Yoga and Cycle classes, as well as walking and strength exercises 🙂 I think it’ll be a good fit for me since it’s mostly indoors, so I’ll be able to stay out of the heat!
What’s the weirdest pregnancy symptom you’ve ever experienced? Or if you’ve never been pregnant, what is one thing you find super odd about pregnancy? Let me know in the comments and have a lovely weekend!
