Body and care — week 35
Kidneys are fully developed, the liver can process some waste products, and most basic physical development is complete. Development notes on this page are general education summarized from ACOG patient-education material; they describe typical development, not your pregnancy specifically. Anatomy and growth are confirmed by your own provider and ultrasounds.
This week's checklist
- Note one body question — sleep, appetite, movement, comfort — and bring it to your next prenatal visit rather than searching it at 3 AM.
- Keep prenatal appointments on the schedule your provider sets; bring your questions list.
- Anything that worries you — bleeding, pain, reduced movement later in pregnancy — goes to your provider or urgent care first, never to a website.
