Changes occur during 31th week of pregnancy

Baby's Development -

  • By now baby is urinating approximately several cups of urine a day into the amniotic fluid. Baby is also swallowing amniotic fluid, which is completely replaced several times a day. 
  • Excess fluid in the amniotic sac (known as polyhydramnios) may mean that the baby isn't swallowing normally or that there is a gastrointestinal obstruction. 
  • Inadequate fluid in the amniotic sac (oligohydramnios)may mean that the baby isn't urinating properly and could indicate a problem with the kidneys or urinary tract. 
  • Health care provider will measure levels of amniotic fluid as part of routine ultrasound.


Woman's Body -

The decision about how to feed child is a personal one, but breast milk as the best form of infant nutrition. The milk glands in woman's breasts may have started to make colostrum by now. Colostrum is the pre-milk that provides baby with calories and nutrients for the first few days. For some women, it is thin and watery. For others, it is thick and yellowish. If mother notice that breasts leaking colostrum, she can buy disposable or washable breast pads to protect her clothing.
