Hello Arvee!
31 weeks pregnant
Don't panic if you feel your baby moving less frequently now. She's got less room to move in your uterus and can't do the backflips and somersaults you're both used to. As long as you can feel her squirming from time to time, she's fine. By this stage, most babies have turned head down into the "cephalic" position ready for birth. A few take a little longer and a few remain stubbornly upright in the "breech" position. If your baby is breech, there's still time for her to turn.
Your baby's arms, legs and body continue to fill out - and they are finally proportional in size to her head. She weighs about 3.3 pounds/ 1.5 kilograms and looks more like a newborn. She measures about 16 inches/ 41 centimeters from crown to toe.
Your baby's organs are continuing to mature and she is passing water from her bladder: good practice for the urinating she'll do after she's born. Soon you can wonder what your baby is wishing for - brain scans have shown that fetuses have periods of dream sleep around month eight.
You've probably gained three to four pounds/ 1.3 to 1.8 kilograms this month. Gaining a pound/ 450 grams a week is quite normal during the last trimester as your baby has a final growth spurt before birth.

Fetuses have a great deal of REM sleep (a state of consciousness in which the brain is highly active, but which differs from waking consciousness.) around the third trimester - the most amount of REM sleep that a human being will ever have in his or lifetime,
However, it is believed that children do not actually "dream" - in the sense of having stories in their minds, what we think of when we say we've had a dream - until they are at least about five years old.
This is because that in order for your mind to create the narrative of dream, you need to be able to process language to some degree.
