Month 9 of Pregnancy
Intro:
Welcome to the final month of your pregnancy! I’m Dr. Heal, and today, we’ll dive into the exciting milestones the ninth month of pregnancy holds for you and your baby!
Key Information:
Your baby is now fully developed and ready for their life outside your womb! Their little lungs are practicing for their first breaths, and their brain is maturing. Your baby’s bones continue to harden, though the ones around the head remain soft to pass smoothly out of your body. The protective coating on your baby’s skin, called vernix, becomes thicker, providing extra protection as your little one continues to grow. The fine hair on their body, known as lanugo, begins to disappear, and your little one probably has a full head of hair now!
In this final month of pregnancy, you may still feel extra tired, have trouble sleeping, and experience frequent urination, shortness of breath, varicose veins , and stretch marks. Watch out for pain in the abdomen, bleeding, or abundant watery discharge from the vagina. You might also feel extremely fatigued during this time and a fever might be occuring.
Conclusion:
You’ve made it to the final stretch, Supermom, and what a memorable journey it’s been! Take it easy, stay hydrated, and remember that our Apollo doctors and our community are always here to guide you. Cheers to your baby and this new chapter of your life- You’ve got this supermom!
