Third Trimester

Week 35

Reviewed by Dr. Humaira Latif, OB-GYN & Ultrasound Specialist

Welcome to week 35 of your pregnancy. Here’s a gentle look at what to expect at 35 weeks pregnant — baby’s size, changes in your body, common 35 weeks pregnant symptoms and a caring tip from Dr. Humaira.

Baby's size

The size of a honeydew melon — about 46.2cm.

What's happening

Baby's kidneys are fully developed, and the liver can process some waste products. Most of baby's basic physical development is complete now — the remaining weeks are mainly about gaining weight.

Your body

You may feel baby 'dropping' lower into your pelvis (lightening), especially in first pregnancies.

Common symptoms

  • Pelvic pressure
  • Increased urination
  • Backache
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Braxton Hicks becoming more frequent
When to call your doctor
  • Reduced fetal movement
  • Regular contractions 5 minutes apart lasting an hour or more
  • Bleeding
Dr. Humaira's tip

Your prenatal visits are likely weekly from now — this is normal monitoring, not a sign anything is wrong.

Educational only — not a substitute for in-person medical advice. Always follow your own doctor's guidance.
