Week 34 of Pregnancy
Baby's growth

Changes in mother
Your doctor will check your urine and blood pressure frequently, and will also observe your feet and hands for any increase in volume. It is very close to your due date and everything should go smoothly.
It's good you know...
Many doctors recommend that pregnant women sleep on their side, neither on their backs nor on their stomachs, so as not to restrict blood flow to the placenta. If this is uncomfortable, try placing a pillow between your knees to relieve the pressure of your weight while leaning on one side.
