Your baby may now weight 2.1 kg and is about 45 cm long (head to toe)! Her lungs would be well delivered by now. At this stage, 99 percent of babies survive even though they are delivered prematurely (preterm labor).
What’s Happening To My Body?
Like most other moms, you probably will experience fatigue at this stage. The anxiety over labor and deliver doesn’t help either! You should continue taking your supplements, eating well (but again, in small quantities) and resting as much as possible. Light exercise like walking can be beneficial and will probably help you sleep better.
Don’t forget to do your pelvic exercises as well!
If you haven’t packed your bags by now, you should prepare your little “kit” to bring to the hospital in case you deliver prematurely. Bring a set of baby’s sleeper suit and mittens, a towel to wrap him up, your toothbrush and a change of clothing. Also, don’t forget your marriage certificate and your NRIC (plus your husbands) as many hospitals allow you to register for your baby’s birth certificate at the hospital itself! If you have a Chinese name for him, you need to remember it or bring a copy along as you will be required to write it on the registration form yourself.
