Tu bebé tiene 31 semanas de vida, mide 41 cm. y pesa alrededor de 1.500 gramos.
A partir de este momento comenzará a aumentar su peso con la misma velocidad que ha crecido en altura.
¡Ya puede ver!. No solamente distinguir la luz de la oscuridad.
Su tubo digestivo esta casi maduro, de manera que podría movilizar sus intestinos aunque raramente lo hace.
Igualmente no te preocupes, ya que todo lo que el bebé desecha en el líquido amniótico es filtrado y purificado por la placenta cada día, de manera que su ambiente está siempre limpio.

¿Qué me sucede esta semana?
Tu útero ha crecido tanto que empuja el diafragma hacia arriba lo cual puede darte una sensación de falta de aire que se incrementa cuando terminas de comer o luego de un esfuerzo. Si tus intestinos están muy ocupados puedes tener la misma sensación.
Si el bebé se ha ubicado de cabeza, puedes percibir sensaciones extrañas en el área genital como vacío o puntadas.
Tus secreciones vaginales pueden estar incrementadas. Si ya orinabas frecuentemente, de ahora en más será peor.

How your baby's growing:
This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.
How your life's changing:
Have you noticed the muscles in your uterus tightening now and then? Many women feel these random contractions — called Braxton Hicks contractions — in the second half of pregnancy. Often lasting about 30 seconds, they're irregular, and at this point, they should be infrequent and painless. Frequent contractions, on the other hand — even those that don't hurt — may be a sign of preterm labor. Call your practitioner immediately if you have more than four contractions in an hour or any other signs of preterm labor: an increase in vaginal discharge or a change in the type of discharge (if it becomes watery, mucus-like, or bloody — even if it's pink or just tinged with blood); abdominal pain or menstrual-like cramping; an increase in pressure in the pelvic area; or low back pain, especially if you didn't have it before.

You may have noticed some leaking of colostrum, or "premilk," from your breasts lately. If so, try tucking some nursing pads into your bra to protect your clothes. (And if not, it's certainly nothing to worry about; your breasts are making colostrum all the same, even if you don't see any.) If your current bra is too snug, you might also want to pick up a nursing bra. Choose a nursing bra at least one cup size bigger than you need now. When your milk comes in you'll be grateful for that extra room!

If you're having a boy, you and your partner will want to take some time to think about whether or not to have your baby circumcised. Find out the pros and cons from your doctor, and what the procedure involves.

  • Asking a circumcising "doctor" for the pros and cons about circumcision is futile, like asking a wolf about the pros and cons of eating chicken.

    Do your homework, learn the benefits of raising a child in love, not violence. Circumcision is a violent and negative action upon an infant. Respect your children, keep them whole and healthy.

  • Your doctor may be clueless about foreskin functions, especially if he is also missing his.

    Google "foreskin function"

    Remember, this is SURGERY, and should really only be done if it is required, which is not likely for an infant. It can wait till he is old enough to decide for himself, and if he does want it, it will not involve tearing the glans as it will for an infant. Also, adults get better pain relief, only the mildest anesthetics can be used on a child, not enough for this pain.
