Week by Week Pregnancy: 35 Week Pregnant

Congratulations! You’ve reached the 35 weeks pregnant stage. There are now only a few weeks left until you meet your little one. Your baby is growing rapidly, and your body is preparing — both physically and emotionally — for the big day. In this post, you’ll find everything you need to know about your baby’s development, the changes you may experience, and the most common 35 weeks pregnant symptoms.

How Is Your Baby Doing This Week?

At 35 weeks, your baby measures around 46 cm (18 inches) in length and weighs approximately 2.4–2.6 kg (5.3–5.7 lbs). Fat continues to build up, making the skin smoother and plumper. The nervous and immune systems are maturing, helping your baby become more ready for life outside the womb.

From this week onward, your baby’s head may move further down into the pelvis in preparation for birth. This can make breathing feel easier, but it may also increase pressure on your bladder, causing more frequent trips to the bathroom.

35 Weeks Pregnant Symptoms

Common 35 weeks pregnant symptoms you might notice include:

• Braxton Hicks contractions: Irregular, mild cramps that help prepare your body for labor.

• Increased fatigue: Your baby’s size and your body’s extra workload can lower your energy levels.

• Frequent urination: As your baby moves down, pressure on your bladder increases.

• Lower back and hip pain: Shifts in your center of gravity can cause muscle and joint discomfort.

• Sleep disturbances: Both physical discomfort and thoughts about labor may affect your rest.

Things to Keep in Mind This Week

• Review your birth plan: Start packing your hospital bag.

• Choose comfortable clothing: Opt for soft, non-restrictive fabrics that won’t put pressure on your belly.

• Continue light exercise: With your doctor’s approval, gentle walking or prenatal Pilates can help.

• Prepare baby clothes: Have soft and practical outfits ready for your newborn, such as cozy jumpsuits, hospital coming-home sets, and seasonal baby clothing.
