A fact about week 35 of pregnancy: Babies who are born during this week or after have a 99 percent chance of survival.
At this point in pregnancy, most babies' eyes are blue, although many change color after birth.
Other fetal development occurring around week 35 of pregnancy includes the following:
- Your baby continues to gain weight and store fat all over his or her body
- The fingernails reach the end of the fingertips
- The lungs are almost fully developed.
If your baby is in the head-first position, his or her head is now resting on your pubic bone in preparation for labor.
As Patrick Swayze put it, "Nobody puts baby in a corner!" Doubly true for your little tenant. Your baby has pretty much taken over your entire torso by now. Over the past few months, he's squished and mushed all of your organs out of the way. Any day now, he'll make a final move and shove your heart up and to the left to make more room for himself. (See, he's got your heart in his hands already.)
