Hello Arvee! 35 weeks pregnant
By this stage, your baby doesn't have much room to roam. Your little one is so snug in your uterus that you may notice he doesn't seem to be moving around as much anymore. Don't be surprised if you see an arm, elbow, or knee poking against the skin of your tummy as he stretches and squirms, though. His head may drop down into your pelvis ready for birth — this is known as "engagement" — although some babies, especially second or later ones, don't engage before labor begins.
Your baby now weighs about 5.25 pounds/ 2.4 kilograms and measures approximately 18 inches/ 45 centimeters from head to toe. His elbow, foot or head may protrude from your stomach when he stretches and squirms about. Soon, as the wall of your uterus and your abdomen stretch thinner and let in more light, your baby will begin to develop daily activity cycles.
This week, your little one is now sporting fingernails and has a fully developed pair of kidneys. His liver can also process some waste products.
There's much less amniotic fluid and much more baby in your uterus, which has expanded to a thousand times its original size. You've probably put on between 25 and 30 pounds/ 11 and 13.6 kilograms and your weight gain has hit its peak. Even your belly button has got bigger and has popped outward. You may be feeling breathless now that the top of your uterus is up under your ribs. Try getting down on all fours to take deeper breaths. Although the pressure on your bladder will make the bathroom your second home, don't drink any less water - your baby needs the fluids. But you may like to cut down on diuretic drinks like tea and coffee, which will make you have to urinate even more often.

2 more weeks and Adam wil;l be full term. I can't wait to give birth already! I am so uncomfy now that I can't even sit cross legged or turn in bed without pain. I've also gained a lot of weight (158 lbs as of last weigh in!!!). I hope a lot has gone to Adam. Then again I hope not that a lot since I may have a hard time pushing him out. My doctor suggested an epidurial birth but I am having second thoughts. It may seem surreal but I am kinda afraid of the pain. Now that's something new.
