Officially in my 37th week now and feeling so heavy. Pet niche aa gaya lagta hai and getting little cramps off and on. Ladies who reached here, what all happened around this time?
With twins, I was already done by week 37, but even with one baby, expect some crazy backache and lightning crotch pain as the baby drops. Just hang in there, you are almost at the finish line!
Haan, this is the time when the baby drops down, na, so you will feel a lot of pressure in your lower area. Just keep your hospital bag near the door and keep your gynac's number on speed dial.
Make sure to ask your doctor about the signs of active labor and when to head to the emergency room. My hospital gave me a clear checklist of what to expect, so do check with your care team.
I am still hoping to conceive soon, but my sister just reached her 37th week and she is preparing her hospital bag. It seems like such an exciting but tiring time, wish you all the best!
Listen dear, at 37 weeks, just keep a close eye on any water leaking, heavy discharge, or labor pain. If you feel any sudden decrease in baby movements, don't wait and contact your doctor immediately.
Expect to start deep cleaning your cupboards at midnight because the 'nesting instinct' is real! Your body is just preparing to eject the tiny tenant, so enjoy the last few quiet days.
You are officially full term now! 🎉 Expect some Braxton Hicks contractions and a lot of excitement. Just keep your hospital bag packed and stay happy! 💕
I had a wonderful normal delivery and at 37 weeks, I kept myself active with light walks. Expect your body to feel heavy, but stay positive because your body knows exactly what to do.
Sitting comfortably is a struggle, so use a plastic stool in the bathroom and keep a comfortable chair with cushions in the hall. Keep your ID proofs and cash ready in your hospital bag.
By week 37, my tummy was so huge that I had zero space for big meals, but the sweet cravings were still wild! Expect to eat very small portions throughout the day because of the heavy pressure.
I am only in my second trimester, but reading about week 37 makes me so nervous and excited at the same time. Is the pelvic pain really that bad at the end?
Since you've reached week 37, your body is getting ready for labor, so you might feel more pelvic pressure as the baby drops down. Keep your hospital bag ready and try to rest as much as possible before your breastfeeding journey starts.
Ugh, expect to pee every 5 minutes and feel like a heavy waddling penguin! Sleep is basically non-existent now because turning around in bed is like an Olympic workout.
