Your Baby:
By now, you have all the amniotic fluid you are going to have and the amount will remain consistent until delivery. Your baby’s brain continues to grow, increasing the size of his head. Your baby continues to develop fat deposits under the skin, changing the color of his skin from red to pink. If you're having a boy his testicles have moved from their location near the kidneys through the groin to the scrotum. If you are having a girl, her chlorus is relatively prominent. Your baby is approximately 17.5 inches long weighs a little over four pounds now.
Your Body:
You will be gaining about a pound a week now. While mild swelling is normal, be sure to watch out for any sudden (over the course of two to three days), especially in your face. If you do experience sudden swelling, be sure to contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
You can now probably distinguish the baby's knee from his elbow, even though the movements are smaller. You may also notice small bumps that appear to be rhythmic in your uterus. This is probably caused by the baby having hiccups and isn't cause for alarm. Take this time to continue learning all you can about your labor, the birth process, your postpartum months.
Pregnancy Symptoms You May Experience
Breast Changes, tenderness, fullness, darkening of the areola
Frequent Urination
Constipation
Indigestion or heartburn
Occasional headaches
Stretch Marks (cocoa butter can help with these)
Itching
Round ligament pains
Hemorrhoids

Visit to the gynae's last sat:-
One question dat shooked me: "Do you or any of your family members have diabetes?" My brain worked liked a bullet train and I told her "No, zilch" Her reason for asking is dat she found my amnitoic fulid to be on the high side but she said it is still normal. Everything else is in good shape though and baby's active as ever. But if the condition's the same on my next visit (2wks time), tests have to be done and she will looked at other areas. Her words sent me shivers, tho I acted beranilah. I've always worry abt my blood supply and now more things to worry...the extreme swelling and excess water in my belly! I just hope i'll end up wif a normal delivery and not c-sect. Ya Allah, please answer my prayers....Amin.
p/s: Sooo malu but I'm walking like a penguin now! Booo Hoooooooooo
