Your pregnancy is progressing and you may have trouble sleeping at night.
Some claim that this is mother nature's way of preparing you for life
with a new baby. Others believe it is caused by worrying about the
health of your baby, labor, and/or parenting. There are also numerous
physical reasons that sleep may be difficult.
For
one going the bathroom every 45 minutes isn't conducive to sleep, nor
is a constant backache. Try doing pelvic tilts before bed, limiting
fluids after a certain time, and being tired when you go to bed.
You
should start putting the final touches to your knowledge base of
pregnancy. There are several items that you should know something about
before labor begins.

  • Inductions
  • Fetal Monitoring in Labor
  • Pain Relief
  • Comfort Measures
  • Epidurals
  • Forceps
  • Cesareans

    Baby:

    • Your
    baby weighs about 4 pounds 12 ounces (2.15 kilograms) right now,
    although later in pregnancy there is more room for variation than in
    the beginning of pregnancy. Your baby is putting on an average of .5
    pounds a week at this point. The length is reaching 18 inches from head
    to toe, as opposed to the earlier measurements from crown to rump. All
    organ systems have been present for a long time, now they are just
    putting on the final touches before birth.
