Baby at week 31
At 31 weeks gestational after IVF transfer: All five senses functional. Fetus urinates ~500 ml/day into amniotic fluid.
Mother's body — what changes
Post-IVF at week 31, clinical picture: Fundus 11 cm above navel. Heartburn worsens. Difficulty sleeping.
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. Post-IVF continue progesterone support and prenatal vitamin exactly as your REI prescribed. Do not add herbal supplements without clearance — many interact with luteal support.
Safe exercise
Reduce intensity but keep moving. Pelvic floor + squats prepare for labour. Avoid contact sports, ski, horse-riding and hot yoga. After IVF avoid high-impact activity until confirmed viability at 8-week scan. Then follow standard trimester guidance.
