Pregnancy Calendar : Week 35
How big is your baby?
Your baby will be weighing in at around 2.383kg (5.25 pounds) and measuring 46.2cm (18.19 inches).
How big are you?
f you have not yet dropped (your baby has moved down into the birth canal) your uterus should now sit about 15 cm above your bellybutton and about 35cm above your pubic symphysis.
Your weight up to this point of your pregnancy should be around 10.8-13kg.
How is your baby developing and growing
 Fatty deposits continue this week, as your baby will start to get fatter around the arms and legs now.
If you are having a boy, then the testes should have completed their descent into the scrotum this week.
Should your baby be born this week, he/she will loose weight faster than a full term baby as the digestive tract is not yet completely developed to be self sufficient.
Will your baby fit through the birth canal?
Even if your doctor has estimated the birth weight of your baby, there is no way to tell whether your baby will fit through the birth canal. The best test method to know is unfortunately labor, and should you baby be to big to fit through the birth canal, the result would be that he/she would be born by a C-section.
In some cases petit women have no trouble in all at delivering a 3.5kg baby naturally, and in other cases some average sized women have difficulty in delivering 2.9kg baby. There really is no way of telling until you are in the situation.
