Baby at week 33
This week: Skull bones still soft and unfused — allows passage through birth canal. Amniotic fluid at maximum.
Mother's body — what changes
In week 33 you may notice: Waddling gait. Ribs feel bruised as baby kicks upward. Increased vaginal discharge.
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.
Safe exercise
