Baby at week 35

At 35 weeks from conception (37w gestational): Kidneys fully developed. Liver processes some waste. Weight gain: ~200 g/week.

Mother's body — what changes

35 weeks post-conception, your body is: Baby drops into pelvis (lightening) for first-time mothers. Bladder pressure increases.

Nutrition & supplements

Add ~450 kcal/day. Increase iron and DHA — brain growth peaks now. Split meals into 5–6 small portions to control heartburn and stable glucose. Week 35 from conception (37 weeks gestational) needs targeted micronutrients — the developmental window differs from LMP-based advice.

Safe exercise

Reduce intensity but keep moving. Pelvic floor + squats prepare for labour. Avoid contact sports, ski, horse-riding and hot yoga. At 35 weeks from conception, low-impact activity supports placental blood flow without stressing the fresh implantation.
