Fetal development - 34 weeks pregnant

Fetal development - 34 weeks pregnant

fatlungs
Your baby now weighs more than 4.7 pounds / 2.2 kilograms and is 18 inches / over 45 centimetres from top to toe. She's filling out and getting rounder - she'll need her fat layers later to regulate her body temperature.

If you don't already talk to your baby, this is a good time to start - at
35 weeks her hearing is fully developed. Don't feel ridiculous if you're already chatting in baby talk. Some evidence shows that newborns pay closer attention to high-pitched tones.

If you've been nervous about going into
premature labour, you'll be happy to know that 99 per cent of babies born at week 35 can survive outside the womb - and most have no major problems. Although your baby's central nervous system is still maturing, her lungs are nearly fully developed by now.

Many women start to notice a tingling sensation or numbness in the pelvic region or pain as they walk. This may be caused by the pelvic joints loosening, ready for labour. If you're terribly uncomfortable, mention it to your doctor and check out our
self-help tips.

The most popular baby names among Muslim parents

The most popular baby names among Muslim parents




Nama untuk baby? Aku dan hubby lom decide lagi, but i'm still searching for the right one :)  Meh baca article nie, hopefully it might helps :)
 
 
 

Welcome to our list of popular baby names among Muslim parents in Malaysia. The richness of the Malay Muslim culture and naming traditions are clear in this list. Babies in this community don’t get just one name -- they often enjoy two, three and occasionally, even four, names.

From the beautiful and simple Aina and the more esoteric Cinta, to the triple-barrel Noor Afiqah Alya, Muslim parents in Malaysia draw from a mix of Malay and Arabic cultures as well as other Muslim cultures around the world for their babies’ names. Some parents have also co-opted names from European and other world cultures as well, naming their baby girls Ava and Nadine, and their baby boys Vigil, Noah and Mikhail.

Multiple names

Some parents take a more is more approach to their baby's names, choosing three or four names for their boy or girl. However, the majority of Muslim babies in Malaysia are given double names, such as Hana Humaira, Nur Marissa, Mohamed Adam and Intan Dayana.

 

Nur (light) and its variation Noor are by far the most popular first element of double names for baby girls. Muhammad (one who is praiseworthy; a Prophet), and all its variations such as Mohamed and Mohamad, are the overwhelming favourite for baby boys. In many families, siblings share the same first element and identify themselves by their second names. Hence, three brothers could well be named Mohamed Faisal, Mohamed Fitri and Mohamed Firdaus; in everyday situations, they would simply identify as Faisal, Fitri and Firdaus.

Creative approaches

For Muslim parents in Malaysia, creativity counts when it comes to baby names. Even when they go retro with a classic such as Ahmad, it is combined with something more contemporary, such as Danial or Rayyan.
 

Indeed, BabyCenter Malaysia’s Muslim parents have shown themselves to be incredibly creative, both in arranging the order of baby’s two or three names and in the way they spell the names. Aleesya, a top contender in our annual list of favourite Malaysian baby names, is also spelled Alisya, Elysia and Allysha. Aishah, another firm favourite, rubs shoulders with the likes of Aisya and Ayshah. As for little Hisyamuddyn, we have to wonder if his parents had thought to spare him a lifetime of correcting the way his name is spelled!


This unabashed creativity hints at a great desire amongst parents to give their babies unique and original names. Clearly, they have searched long and far for just the right moniker, and this has thrown up a few surprises, putting names on the list that many would have thought unusual a decade ago. A big favourite on our girls’ list, Damia. It is thought to be of Greek origin, but is also the name of a city in Jordan. Humaira (also commonly spelled Humayra) means "red" or "reddish" in Arabic, and is said to be a nickname the Prophet gave to his wife Aishah.

For boys, the name Mohamed reigns supreme, leaving Adam and Rayyan, ranked second and third respectively, trailing far, far behind. In fact, the name Mohamed is so dominant that it is certain to head our baby names lists for many years to come.

Your baby now weighs about 4.2 pounds / 2 kilograms and measures approximately 17 inches / 44 centimetres from head to toe. Your baby should already be getting ready for birth by turning upside-down - his head should be pointing down.

Your doctor will be paying careful attention to your baby's position in the coming weeks - some babies do decide to turn back round again.

Your baby's skull is still quite pliable and not completely joined, so he can ease out of the relatively narrow birth canal. But the bones in the rest of his body are hardening. Your baby's skin is also gradually becoming less red and wrinkled.

If you're a first-time mother, your child's head may move into the pelvis this week and press firmly against your cervix. (This happens for about half of all first-time mothers.) If you're a second-time mum, you can expect this to happen a week before labour - and for some this won't happen until the start of labour. Hoping to manage your labour naturally? Here's all you need to know about natural pain relief.

You may notice that your feet and ankles are quite swollen by the end of the day. Water retention, also known as oedema, is often worse in warm weather and late in the day. Surprisingly, keeping hydrated helps reduce water retention. Your body - particularly your kidneys - and your baby need plenty of fluids, so drink up. If you suddenly feel swollen or puffy in your hands or face, however, call your doctor - it may be a sign of pre-eclampsia.
