36 week of pregnancy

In the 36th week of pregnancy, the baby already measures around 46 cm in length, with a weight that can reach 2.8 kg. You will notice that his movements are reduced for a simple reason: he has little space left.

If the birth took place at this time, all its organs would work perfectly outside the mother's womb and, in principle, her health would not have to be in any danger.

Let's see in the following sections what are the symptoms in the mother and changes in the fetus during this week of pregnancy.

Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article.

Symptoms in the mother

The symptoms that correspond to this week are discomfort related to the size that already has the belly, such as heaviness or feeling of lack of oxygen. Let's see the details and causes of these symptoms below:

Tiredness and heaviness

During this week, it is normal for you to feel heavy and tired. Between the extra kilos and the volume you can feel difficulties when walking. As for food, it is normal that you no longer feel so hungry and it is best to eat several times a day, but little quantity.

Drowning sensation

Another of the most common complaints of pregnant women is the feeling of suffocation. Even if you breathe deeply, you feel that you do not have enough oxygen.

Do not worry about the baby, he receives enough oxygen. You have this sensation because the uterus has reached such a size that it is below the ribs and compresses the lungs.

The fitting of the baby

It may be this week or the next when the baby fits his head in the pelvis. When this happens, you will feel less acidity and may improve your ability to breathe, decreasing the feeling of suffocation.

This is the way the baby has to prepare for the moment of delivery. If you are new, the baby's insertion will increase the pressure in the lower abdomen, reaching the vagina. You may find it very uncomfortable to walk and you should urinate more often.
