Baby at week 35
At 35 weeks gestational after IVF transfer: Kidneys fully developed. Liver processes some waste. Weight gain: ~200 g/week.
Mother's body — what changes
Post-IVF at week 35, clinical picture: 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. 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.
