I'm almost at 36 weeks of pregnancy, and my delivery date is coming closer! What significant changes should I expect for myself and the baby around this time?
I remember 36 weeks like it was yesterday, struggling to sleep and feeling every single roll of the baby. It feels tough, but looking back now, it was such a special phase. Just hang in there, the reward is so worth it!
At 36 weeks, my MIL started making special laddoos and told me to drink warm milk with a little ghee to help with delivery. The baby is dropping now, so breathing becomes a bit easier but walking gets very funny!
This is the time when you start having weekly checkups with your doctor. Since I had thyroid issues, my doctor closely monitored my levels and baby's weight at 36 weeks. Make sure you don't miss these final routine scans and blood tests.
At 36 weeks, the baby is almost fully cooked and taking up all the space, which can make your digestion very slow. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to keep my meals very small and frequent to manage my sugar and heartburn. Keep monitoring your health closely now.
Haan, ab toh baby bilkul niche aa gaya hoga, isiliye pelvic pressure bahut badh jata hai. You'll feel like running to the washroom every ten minutes, na? Bas thoda aur time baaki hai, keep resting.
At 36 weeks with twins, I literally felt like a walking sofa! The babies are taking up all the room, so expect lots of Braxton Hicks and absolutely zero bladder control.
True, the baby drops around this week which gives you some relief from breathlessness. Just keep your hospital bag fully packed and ready in your room now.
Oh, 36 weeks is such an emotional time because you realize you are going to meet your baby so soon! You might feel a mix of extreme exhaustion and nesting energy. Just cherish these final quiet moments, you are doing amazing.
