33 Weeks Pregnant: Fetal Development and Mom's Sensations
At 33 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is in a position that puts considerable pressure on the bladder and continues to displace the stomach and esophagus. Therefore, in addition to increased urination, a woman may experience heartburn and other digestive upsets, such as flatulence and constipation. Soon, the abdomen will drop, and it will become somewhat easier. In the meantime, normal physical activity becomes increasingly difficult.
At 33 weeks of pregnancy, a woman's weight should normally increase by 10-12 kg, of which the fetus, amniotic fluid, and uterus account for just under 5 kg.
This week, your baby weighs the size of a pineapple. Their body length is 44 cm, and they weigh approximately 1.9-2 kg.
Your baby has made significant progress in their development, and if they are born prematurely, they will be fully viable if special conditions are created for them. However, if they are born at 33 weeks, they will still be considered premature.
