Pregnancy Symptoms
Few of the symptoms which you may notice at 35 weeks are:
Pelvic Numbness
Relaxin, an important hormone released by the placenta during pregnancy in preperation for delivery can cause pelvic numbness. This symptom is common during pregnancy and not a cause for concern.
Persistent Urination
Don't seem to find a break from bathroom breaks? Well, this will continue till delivery. Your uterus is conintuining to expand and your baby is continuing to grow, putting pressure on your urinary bladder which doesn't have place to store urine anymore. Added to that, your hormones also cause you to have to visit the restroom with alarming frequency.
Digestion Problems
Gas, indigestion, consipation and acidity will continue for some pregnant women for the remaining weeks of their pregnancy, fuelled by pregnancy hormones and pressure on the stomach and intestines owing to the growing fetus and uterus.
Braxton Hicks contractions
Not to be confused with labour pains, these contractions occur with limited frequency such as once or twice a day or once in every few hours. Some women do not experiece these contractions too. Typically you will feel the tightening of your abdmoninal muscles and hardening of your belly. These contractions will disappear once you change your position or activity.
