33weeks...

hey baby,
gosh, time flies... we're in our 33weeks.
You now weighs about 4.2 pounds /2 kilograms and measures approximately 17 inches /44 centimeters from head to toe. You should already be getting ready for birth by turning upside-down - your head should be pointing down. Doctor will be paying careful attention to your position in the coming weeks - some babies do decide to turn back round again. Your skull is still quite pliable and not completely joined, so youcan ease out of the relatively narrow birth canal. But the bones in the rest of your body are hardening. Your skin is also gradually becoming less red and wrinkled.

Mummy's feet and ankles are quite swollen throughout the day now. Water retention is often worse in warm weather and late in the day. Surprisingly, keeping hydrated helps reduce water retention. Mummy's body - particularly the kidneys - and you need plenty of fluids, so drink up. But if the face or hands suddenly feel swollen or puffy, it may be a sign of pre-eclmpsia (high BP), so got to call up the doctor immediately...

baby you be good and stay head down until you're ready ok? we've only about 5~6 weeks to go!!! yippie...

daddy & mummy love you lots...
