Baby at week 34
This week: Vernix thickens. Lanugo shedding. Central nervous system fully mature.
Mother's body — what changes
In week 34 you may notice: Fundus 14 cm above navel. Antenatal visits weekly from 36. Practice perineal massage.
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
Reduce intensity but keep moving. Pelvic floor + squats prepare for labour. Avoid contact sports, ski, horse-riding and hot yoga.
