You may continue to feel contractions this week. Relax, your body is just practicing.

Your Changing Body When You're 35 Weeks Pregnant

When you're 35 weeks pregnant, your body continues to make internal adjustments and preparations for your baby's birth.

  • Your cervix already might begin to dilate or open very slightly to get ready for birth in a few weeks.
    • When this begins, you might notice a sharp pain in your vagina. This doesn't mean you're in labor.
    • Some women begin dilating in the few weeks, days, or even hours before labor.
  • You might continue to feel practice contractions this week. Remember, these contractions will not settle into a regular rhythm.
