| Week 33rd | Your Baby
Now the total length of your baby beginning from the top of his head to his tiptoes is 17 inches and he weights no more than 4, 5 pounds. All the organs and systems of the fetus are practically formed. Your child’s organism receives all the antibodies from you. Thanks to these antibodies his immune system develops. He will be protected from many infections right after his arrival.
You
During this period you gain your weight more intensively than during any other period of your pregnancy. The total amount of the weight you gained is about 25 pounds. Your baby grows especially quickly now; imagine that in 6 weeks his weight will be 2 pounds more! During the second half of your pregnancy you should receive 3200 – 3400 calories a day. The organism of a future mother needs not less than 5,5 ounces of proteins, 3 ounces of fats and 14 ounces of carbohydrates.
A Wise Tip
Are you expecting the arrival of the second baby? Then you should prepare your older child to this event. Try to make them friends before the delivery. Propose your child to pat your belly, talk to his brother or sister. Do not let him feel himself alone.
