How big is the baby in the 34th week of pregnancy?

Although women feel happy and excited after becoming pregnant, as the months go by, the burden on the body becomes heavier. First, the belly will become bigger and bigger, and they can no longer wear their previous clothes. Some women may gain weight after becoming pregnant. However, for pregnant women, these cannot compare to the happiness after pregnancy. Many women are particularly concerned about the growth of the baby in their belly after pregnancy. Let’s take a look at the development and growth of the baby in 34 weeks of pregnancy!

The fetus now weighs about 2300 grams and is about 30 cm tall when sitting. At this time, the fetus is ready for delivery and has turned its body to a head-down position with its head inside the pelvis. However, the fetal position has not yet been completely fixed and may still change, so close attention is required.

The fetus's skull is still very soft and there is space between each skull so that the fetus's head can pass through the narrow birth canal during delivery.

You may find that your feet, face, hands, and ankles are more swollen, especially in warmer months or in the evenings. Even so, do not limit water intake at this time, because both the mother and the fetus need plenty of water. On the contrary, surprisingly, the more water you consume, the more it helps you excrete water from your body. But if you find that your hands or face suddenly become severely swollen one day, you must see a doctor. If you are a first-time mother, the fetus's head has mostly descended into the pelvis and is pressing tightly against your cervix. The fetus of a multiparous mother usually enters the pelvis later, and the fetus of some mothers will not enter the pelvis until before delivery.

At this time, you should not walk too far alone. If you need anything, you can ask your husband to accompany you or help you buy it. You can make a list of the things you will need for your hospital delivery and within a week after your baby is born, and give it to your husband to purchase. You can also refer to the suggestions of experienced relatives and friends, try to be more thoughtful, and make preparations as early as possible to calmly welcome the birth of your baby.

After reading the above introduction, I believe you have a more comprehensive understanding of the size of the baby at 34 weeks of pregnancy. However, during this month, because the baby is about to be born, it is recommended that pregnant mothers should be fully prepared for delivery. You can pack the bottles, milk powder, toilet paper, baby clothes, etc. needed for delivery together and be prepared. If you feel that you are about to give birth, you should go to the hospital in time to complete the hospitalization procedures.
