Liver Functionality: The liver is prepped and ready for postnatal life, playing a vital role in metabolism and detoxification.
The umbilical cord, their lifeline, is now about the same length as your baby

I have a question guys I am 33 weeks by now but my baby still on the bridge at what time your baby or a baby move head down. I will be induce at 37 weeks no matter how c-section or normal but if is normal they have to do a lot of procedures also if she still on bridge.

The only way I knew my baby was head down was when I felt was a possible kick that was at the beginning of 8 months for me.. cause I kept pushing her head down every time she pushed up on me.. then she’ll push back like stop..

I'll be 36 weeks on friday. I don't think my baby is head down at all. She feels like she's still sideways. The doctor at my last appt didn't mention her position at all and i forgot to ask. But my first pregnancy was totally normal and went to full term so I guess they're not worried about early labor for me, idk.

My babies always been head down throughout both pregnancies. Every ultrasound we have down showed them head down. I got lucky. I've heard doctors can do something to make them turn to be head down. Maybe ask about it?

Tiana
At 33 weeks I started experiencing a real hard time walking it's like 4pounds of sugar was just sitting on my pelvis and it's gradually getting worse for me and I'm 37 weeks this Friday but at least the good thing I get out of that is knowing my baby has most likely dropped and is getting ready to come

I’m a little more than halfway through it and so far I’m way more out of breath, everything is swelling more, and nausea is back. Not bad just a little if I get to hot or tiered
