Week 34
About the size ofa honeydew melon
Your little one is almost ready! Your baby is now 42.5 cm and 2200 grams.
The nails have now almost reached the tips of the fingers. The kidneys are working, the lungs are almost mature… In short: your baby is almost ‘ready’. It now gains only a few hundred grams a week. You cannot tell exactly how big the baby is from your belly. A small belly does not necessarily hold a small baby, and a big belly does not automatically hold a big baby. As well as the baby’s weight, the size of your belly is determined by the firmness of your muscles, the amount of amniotic fluid, how much fluid and fat you retain and your build. To assess the growth properly, we feel your belly at every check-up.
