35 Weeks Pregnant Symptoms
When you are 35 weeks pregnant, you are in the final stages of your pregnancy. This period is often filled with a mix of excitement and anticipation, as you prepare for the arrival of your newborn. Here are the common symptoms that you may experience:
Physical Symptoms
- Increased Weight: By this time, you may have gained between 25 to 30 pounds. This is normal and necessary for the baby’s growth.
- Swelling: Swelling of the feet and ankles is common due to increased fluid retention. To alleviate this, try to put your feet up as often as possible.
- Shortness of Breath: As your baby grows and pushes up against your lungs, you may experience shortness of breath.
Emotional Symptoms
- Nesting Instinct: Many women experience a ‘nesting instinct’ – a strong desire to prepare their home for the baby.
- Anxiety: It’s common to feel anxious or stressed about labor and becoming a parent. Consider seeking support from a therapist or a support group to help manage these feelings.
For instance, consider the case of Jane, a 35-week pregnant woman. Jane started to feel swelling in her feet and was also experiencing shortness of breath. She was worried, but after consulting her doctor, she learned that these are normal symptoms at this stage of pregnancy and she learned ways to manage these symptoms.
