9 Months Pregnant

9 Months Pregnant
Yes! You're in your last month of pregnancy, and your baby could arrive at any time. Most women give birth between weeks 38 and 42, but very few babies arrive exactly on their due date.
In the final month of your pregnancy, some of the normal pregnancy symptoms you might experience include:
Lightening' — your baby drops lower, which makes it easier to breathe
Some of these symptoms are common across third trimester. Explore other third trimester symptoms & remedies to ensure the well-being of mother & baby in the last stretch of pregnancy
Your Baby's Development: At 9 Months pregnant, your baby will drop lower into your pelvis as she gets ready to be born. She'll gain weight until she's born, mostly accumulating fat around the elbows, knees, and shoulders.
By the 9th month of pregnancy, your baby should be positioned with her head down. If she's in a breech position with her feet or bottom down, your doctor may attempt to turn her around or you could be offered a caesarean birth.
Changes to Your Body: At 9 months pregnant, you'll be feeling big, tired, and impatient — you might even feel fidgety sitting or lying down because nothing feels comfortable. Some mums-to-be also experience a surge in energy, as your body prepares for the birth.
One positive is that as your baby drops lower in your pelvis, this will take some pressure off your lungs, making it a little easier to breathe (though urgency to urinate may increase).
If you're feeling cramps or contractions at this late stage, remember that there's a difference between practice contractions and actual contractions, so jot down the intervals between contractions. If you think you might be in labor, call your doctor and report your symptoms. Learn all the signs and symptoms of labor to avoid last minute confusion here.
If your baby is not born by 40 weeks , your doctors will monitor you and your baby even more closely in 41 and 42 weeks. You and your birthing team might discuss whether and when to induce labour. If your baby is not born by the end of 42 weeks, you will likely be offered an induction to reduce any potential risks.
Organise any child care: You might need child care after bringing your newborn home. This could mean a short-term arrangement for your older children, if you have them, or long-term childcare plans for when your newborn is a little older.
Final preparations: At 9 months pregnant, you might also experience pregnancy ‘nesting' — an urge to get your home ready for your baby and for parenthood. Use the remaining days or weeks of your pregnancy to take care of any last minute preparations, and have your home as ready as you'd like it to be. Channel these short bursts of energy, whether it's cooking lots of extra meals and freezing them, cleaning, or stocking up on all of your nursery supplies (like diapers). Also, try exploring our pregnancy calendar for pregnancy, post-pregnancy & baby care tips
Plan hospital visits and the birth announcement: Think about who you want to come see you at the hospital, and how you will handle offers for help and visits. After the birth, you'll have a lot on your plate, so now's a good time to decide how you will make the announcement of the birth to friends and family.
Find the right baby name: If you're struggling to find the perfect baby name or you're having a late change of heart about the name you thought you were set on, try the Pampers Baby Name Generator to find a baby name that's just right.
Get some sleep: Put down your to-do lists, and get as much sleep as you can. Don't just rest, though — indulge yourself, too. This could be your last chance for a little me-time, so get a pampering pedicure, have a foot massage, watch a movie, and spend some peaceful one-on-one time with your husband and loved ones. Enjoy these last few ‘baby-free' days.

When you’re 9 months pregnant, your fetus’s eyes and pupils are more developed, and it has more body fat.
The fetus has a CRL of about 12 inches (30 cm).
The eyes have developed enough for pupils to constrict and dilate when exposed to light.
The fetus has a CRL of about 12.5 inches (32 cm).
The fetus is considerably fatter, and the skin is no longer wrinkled.
The growing fetus places more and more strain on your body when you’re 9 months pregnant. Common pregnancy symptoms at this time may continue through the end of pregnancy. These symptoms include fatigue, trouble sleeping, trouble holding urine, shortness of breath, varicose veins, and stretch marks. Some fetuses drop down into the lower part of the uterus during this month. This may relieve your constipation and heartburn, which is more common earlier in pregnancy. But some fetuses don’t drop down until the very end of pregnancy.
