Week 33 · Third trimester
Week 33, gently.
Your baby is the size of
a pineapple
- 43.7 cm long
- 1918 g
Your baby gains about half a pound per week from here to full term.
“The weight that was only weeks ago unimaginable is now the shape of the days.”
What’s happening inside
Rapid weight gain — about half a pound per week. The bones are hardening (except the skull, which stays flexible for birth).
How you might feel
Shortness of breath as your uterus crowds the diaphragm. This usually eases when the baby "drops" closer to labor.
