More and more often, a pregnant woman can feel training contractions, their strength increases, sometimes they can become regular, but soon subside. Regular visits to the doctor will prevent the transformation of training contractions into true. Consult a doctor urgently if: the strength of the fights is large enough, the fights are regular, the interval between the fights for about 5 minutes, the waters departed. These signs can signal the beginning of labor.
Your child
The baby is actively preparing for birth: the embryo fluff practically disappears, and the amount of original lubrication increases significantly, it will help the baby when passing the birth canal and give additional protection against possible infections. Surprisingly, now the child has the adrenal glands of the same size as an adult. They produce a huge amount of steroid hormone stimulating lactation. But after birth, the adrenal glands will become much less.
Now the baby is actively accumulating calcium in his bones, so mom should not forget about the diet with a large amount of calcium. The child is already quite closely in the uterus, he moves less, only sometimes, several times a day, the mommy will feel tremors, but, often, the baby is limited only to sip, grunting and drinking. He perfectly hears the sounds surrounding his mother and can react to them with a move or blows. If the baby is born now, he will no longer be considered prematurely, they will say about him: a prematurely born. This is due to almost the complete maturity of the body and, in particular, the lungs. The child is quite viable, breathes and regulates heat transfer independently. Such children, often, if there are no complications, do not need special care, so from the first day they can be next to their mother.
The length of the child is about 42 cm, and the weight is approximately 2 kg.
