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.
