Week37

As the 37th week of pregnancy comes and goes, one may be experiencing more and more pressure on the pelvic bones if the baby uses them as a pillow. As the weight increases, one may also be feeling the effects of gravity. Exhaustion is expected. As the waistline has been expanding, so the breasts. They are full of milk, ready for feeding, and beginning to secrete colostrum. Leakage from the breast is a common occurrence. At this time the breasts may be sensitive and painful to the touch. One may notice stretch marks around the breasts and waist, as well as in the hip region. One can expect to continue experiencing all the aches, pains, and emotions that come with full term pregnancy.
