Congratulations! You’re now carrying over 5 pounds of baby-goodness - not counting their amniotic fluid, the umbilical cord, or the placenta itself.

Developmentally, your wee womb-tenant has the fat-factory running at full tilt while their digestive system puts the finishing touches on critical organs in preparation for their first meal (remember - before birth, all of their nutrition was blood via the umbilical cord).

With their first meal in mind, it's time to look forward to one of the most important things you'll do for your infant - namely, keeping them alive with nothing more than your breasts.

If you're still unsure whether you want to breastfeed, just check out our "Ten Reasons to Breastfeed" in Week 28.

Breastfeeding Bootcamp

The first three months are Breastfeeding Bootcamp as your newborn's tiny new stomach and bumblebee-like metabolism = you breastfeeding at least every two hours of the day and night - often times more.

As a result, you'll both be waking up multiple times in the middle of the night to feed for the first year - this is perfectly normal and your infant's cries should never be ignored (again, the older generations well-intended advice is exactly wrong).

Because a newborn's tummy has never been used, many foods you can eat without issue will cause them painful gas cramps when passed into your breastmilk.

So, for the first three months: eat bland stuff. No onions, no beans, no citrus juices or foods with high acidity, no foods that make YOU fart. Taking these measures will save you from a gassy crying infant who won't be soothed by anything until the pain is gone.

Don't worry about waking your newborn to breastfeed - they'll wake up when they're hungry - unfortunately for your sleep needs.

Sleep whenever your baby sleeps, as sleeping is critical to a healthy postpartum recovery.

If possible - for the first six weeks you should exclusively breastfeed without interference from a pump, bottle, or pacifier to avoid nipple confusion.

Breastfeed "on demand" (aka whenever your infant cries in a dry diaper) and ignore the well-meant advice of older generations who scheduled their infant's meals at set times.

Only your baby knows when he or she is hungry, and your milk supply will thank you for feeding on demand.

The Breastfeeding Bootcamp isn't just about hunger. The non-stop feeding strengthens your infant's suckling reflex and jaw muscles, while soothing them in a world that is otherwise highly disorienting and frightening.

Nothing works quite as well as your "breast-plug" when you want to cease a fussy newborn's cries. Trust us, there's no shame in being a human pacifier!

And how's mom doing?

Okay superwoman, it's time to talk about labor and how you plan to cope.basically, your muscles are going to be like, "YO - THIS IS HARD!" when they're talking to your nerves, who'll be delivering these messages to your brain afterward, which you will then experience as pain

Get this into your head right now -- LABOR PAIN IS GOOD PAIN -- it's good for you and it's good for your baby.

Yes, contractions hurt, but unlike the pain of injury, it hurts because your muscles are being used in a way they've never been used before (or only rarely).

If you've been living under a rock: contractions are literally the slow process of squeezing your baby - via uterine muscular waves of motion, down your uterus into the birth canal.

So - basically, your muscles are going to be like, "YO - THIS IS HARD!" when they're talking to your nerves, who'll be delivering these messages to your brain afterward, which you will then experience as pain.

The important part of this process is your mental and emotional acceptance of this pain as good, rather than something upsetting that must be avoided.

LABOR PAIN IS GOOD PAIN because your body is working really hard to do something that's incredibly important.

As Captain Obvious would say, "That's why they call it labor."

It might not feel good, but let's be realistic here: how many times will your uterus do this job? All Duggar jokes aside, it's obviously a unique situation for your body.

Labor gets a bad rap because of the pain of contractions, but if you look at the big picture - beyond the pain, you'd see that your labor is an act of epic earth-shattering proportions.

Come on! It's the act of giving life, after all!

Even if you are a pain-pansy, you need to come to terms with two things: 1) labor will hurt and that's okay and 2) the more you accept the pain as good, the less it will hurt.

Regardless of whether you get an epidural and in spite of their popularity, every one of us would do well to remember that pain is a normal and important part of life.

Your brain's pain system usually warns you when something is wrong or broken, but this time - if you listen to your body and take the time to understand the epic nature of what's happening inside of you, you might begin to understand that a change of such amazing proportions is taking place inside of you that your entire body (pain signaling system included) cries out in its efforts to bear life.

One last time, just so you remember: LABOR PAIN IS GOOD PAIN

Your amazing baby is on the move!

Until now, your wee womb-squatter's been living fairly high up in your poor stretched-out womb - blithely compressing your poor lungs and internal organs.

This week your baby's going to pack their tiny bags and make the "big" move to your pelvis - commonly referred to as the time when your baby "drops".

If you haven’t noticed it already, you’ll be feeling the weight shift indicating your baby is most likely out of breech position (if they're being stubborn, check out 17 Ways To Turn a Breech Baby) with their head now resting on your pubic bone.

When baby drops this may also give you some horrific stabbing back pain as they press on your sciatic nerve.

If that's the case, get off your feet and try to do some spine-lengthening stretches to help your baby move OFF that poor throbbing nerve.

In developing internal-organ news: although not quite fully formed, your little poop-factory's liver is now capable of processing a certain amount of waste.

Because your baby's liver is not quite birth-ready, it's common for newborns to get a case of mild and harmless jaundice (signaled by a slight yellowing of the skin).

Jaundice is the result of your baby's body producing more bilirubin (a by-product of blood production) than the liver can currently breakdown, leading to a subtle yellow tinge that goes away in a few days.

Babies born earlier than their due date tend to have moderate to severe jaundice, which - in the hospital, will be treated via light therapy to help their body break the bilirubin down.

For home-birthers, jaundice is easily dealt with by increased breastfeeding (to help their body pass the bilirubin) and "naked time" for baby in a warm sunlit area for 10 minute intervals throughout the day until it disappears.

And how's mom doing?

Hey mama! Did you know your watermelon-betwixt-my-legs waddle is still as charming as ever?

If you've got back pain, get yourself another warm bath/shower/heating pad as needed and keep trying to stretch and twist to manipulate your pinch-tastic fetus off those poor sciatic nerves.

Just a reminder: keep on drinking those tall glasses of water (and peeing like a fiend), take cat naps whenever possible and prepare yourself mentally for the big day.

Labor Issues and Options

YOUR BIRTHING SUPPORT TEAM

Your midwife or doula should be picked with an eye for their education, midwifery history, personality and personal beliefs - which should gel with your personality and personal beliefs to the degree you trust and like her.

In terms of non-birthing experts, only your partner or closest family and friends should be present during labor. Ideally, you should be around people you know and trust and no one else.

GETTING TO THE HOSPITAL or BIRTHING CENTER

If you're not giving birth at home: once you're in Active labor (contractions every five minutes for an hour), head over to the hospital - that is, if you live within a half an hour drive of the hospital.

If you're in the middle of nowhere, then plan to go in once contractions come every five minutes for a 30 minute span.

Trust us, jumping the go-to-hospital gun before you enter the Active phase is a waste of gas and more disheartening than being ditched on a first date.

THE EPIDURAL

If you're planning on birthing in the hospital and get the epidural,try to wait till your contractions are constant - indicating you're nearing Transition.

Given any earlier, and the epidural may significantly slow your labor's progress, putting you at risk for an "emergency c-section" on the hospital's "24 hour labor" clock.

The epidural process: a six inch needle will be inserted into your spinal column as you're curled up in a fetal position to expose your spinal nerves to the technician.

Once the drug has been administered, the numbing effect (if it works, which it might not) -- will relieve your labor pain, but it will also as render you immobile and effectively chains you to your bed, forcing you to labor and birth on your back while psychologically numbing your mind to the process at hand, inhibiting your milk let-down and interfering with the postpartum endorphin release that combats postpartum pain and depression.

The take-home message: an epidural can provide much-needed pain relief during labor, but is not without serious risks including: long-term back pain (20% of women experience nerve damage), slowing labor and significantly increasing your risk of c-section. It also inhibits the entire postpartum release of endorphins, which may negatively impact your postpartum recovery.

THE CATHETER

Inserting/poking a thin tube into your urethra so you can pee from the comfort of your bed is an option which is there purely for the attending staff's convenience - unless you're unable to walk due to an epidural.

Long story short: just say no to catheters if you can walk.

THE IV

Some hospitals will automatically hook a laboring woman up to an IV to keep her hydrated, which again -- chains you to the bed or IV equipment, restricting your mobility.

Unless you're unable to swallow water for some mysterious reason, there is absolutely no need to be hooked up to an IV while in labor. As long as your labor partner or birth doula are there giving you water/juice/fluids on a regular basis, your hydration needs will be completely met without inhibiting labor's progress.

CESAREAN-SECTION/C-SECTION

C-section is major abdominal surgery in which seven layers of your stomach tissue, muscle, and fat are sliced through exposing your intestines and uterus.

If you do end up having a C-section, opt for an epidural rather than being fully knocked out via general anesthetic, as this'll allow you to breastfeed immediately after delivery.

To be perfectly fair, cesarean section can be a life-saver for both mother and baby in a small number of cases, but for most women and babies at the end of pregnancy, the risks of surgical birth far outweigh any benefit - as listed below.

With no additional risk factors, a baby born via C-section is three times more likely to die in the first year, which may be partially due to the fact that passage through the birth canal presses your child's lungs and respiratory tract clean in a way the doctor's suction device just can't.

C-section recovery takes longer and hurts more than normal birth recovery because you lose more blood during surgery and your anesthetic interferes with your natural postpartum release of hormones and endorphins which fuel the healing process.

Cool blood fact: birth vaginally and you'll lose the equivalent of nine period's worth of blood.

C-sections are also more likely to result in:

Difficulty breastfeeding and/or bonding
Postpartum depression
Postpartum infection
Newborn breathing problems
Asthma developing in childhood
Newborn cuts (hopefully minor!) from the surgery.

Elective c-sections are a disturbing new trend on the rise, which reflect a gross lack of understanding and respect for the delicate and intricate process of labor and birth.

Short of extreme medical conditions, C-sections should not be considered a viable option for a healthy pregnancy.

THE ELECTRONIC FETAL MONITOR (EFM)

This device records and reports the baby's heartbeat via a beeping sound.

Exhaustive reviews of EFM have shown NO improved outcome for the baby (in terms of preventing death) while increasing psychological stress for the laboring mother and risk of an "emergency c-section" and episiotomy.

Rather than let the EFM create a false sense of fear, opt for infrequent monitoring via a Doppler device or simply unhook yourself from the EFM after listening to your baby's heart rate for a minute or so (if that's all they've got) and get back to laboring on your feet.

Bottom line: EFMs are unnecessarily stressful to the mother and provide no support for the baby's well-being.

THE EPISIOTOMY, VACUUM and FORCEPS

An episiotomy occurs when your doctor slices you from your vagina down to your butt hole - in order "to make passage for the baby easier."

Not only do naturally occurring tears heal faster and hurt less than these incisions, but the idea that a knife is the "best option" for an area that's designed to birth babies is violently counter-intuitive.

Perineal massage, warm compresses, and oil (all things that increase your skin's elasticity and willingness to streeeeeetch) are always a better go-to option than the knife.

The vacuum and forceps are precisely what they sound like - devices for sucking and yanking your baby's head out of the birth canal.

Again, there is no research that indicates the use of any of these devices or methods ever improved fetal outcome over the simple and gentler warm compresses, oil and massage.

Take the time to discuss your caregiver's views of the above medical practices, at least to know whether there's a chance you're at risk of experiencing any of them yourself.

PERINEAL MASSAGE

If you want to prevent serious tearing (who wouldn't?), make sure you or your partner are giving your perineum a nice streeeetchy perineal massage every night.

Be ready to get intimate in a weirdly medical way. You're going to be asking your partner to stretch your vagina as much as you can bear, by inserting their sterilized gloved thumbs an inch into your vagina while pressing down towards your anus for 1 - 3 minute intervals - ten times each night. You can lengthen the duration if it becomes "easy" with maximum pressure.

We recommend taking each minute of pressure to focus on opening, slowly inhaling and exhaling as you imagine the contractions as waves of movement down and out your vagina.

Do the massage every night for the last four weeks before your due date and you'll greatly decrease any risk of being sliced up on your child's first birthday.

For all the weight and bulk you’re lugging around these days, you’d think your little champ would weigh more than a mere 4 pounds!

But once you add in the placenta, amniotic fluid, and extra blood, you've got at least 10 pounds of baby and their life-support gear smooshed up against yourorgans!

In terms of appearance, your sweet lil' looker is getting cuter and pudgier every day as they pile on that adorable baby fat.

And as you know all too well, your womb kick-boxer is getting stronger with every passing day. Heck, it’s even possible to observe a well-placed belly-wobbling kick just by watching your belly!

Here's a fun game for when your kick-boxer is especially active: place a small object (baby blocks or a remote control) on your belly and see how far your star-kicker can lob that thing across the room!

Despite their obviously increasing strength, your bigger-by-the-day baby will actually start dropping their rate of movement in the last few weeks, no thanks to their restricted womb space.

If movement ceases for over an hour, drink some cold juice, lay on your side and wait for some added movement.

If nothing's happening at that point, go ahead and call your medical caregiver.

Hey, did you know you’ll continue feeling your baby's movements even during labor?

And how's mom doing?

Have you been feeling those delightful fake Braxton-Hicks contractions yet?Remember to eat less with each meal and opt for smaller more frequent meals, loads of water, and a post-meal walk to get things unclogged and less heartburn-tastic

If not - shut up!

These increasing uterine contractions are standard during the second half of pregnancy and lucky for you, grow in frequency during the third trimester.

Cleverly dubbed “practice labor”, BH contractions aren't the real deal, but if they're getting too frequent or intense, get a big glass of ice water, drink it and chill on the couch for a while.

That said, if you notice contractions more than four times in one hour - that don't go away in the next hour, especially when combined with changes in your vaginal discharge (EW), call your caregiver right away to make sure you're not going into premature labor.

As your magical growing baby obstinately refuses to shrink or give back any real-estate in your belly, you can sit back, "relax," and take in the heartburn and increased lower back pain.

Remember to eat less with each meal and opt for smaller more frequent meals, loads of water, and a post-meal walk to get things unclogged and less heartburn-tastic.

As for your poor back, stretch your spine out, get off your feet and elevate them above your heart - preferably in a hot-bathtub with bubbles, candle light and soft relaxing music, and don't worry too much about anything for exactly thirty minutes... if that's even possible.

INDUCING LABOR = BAD PLAN

Okay woman, let's get one thing straight: your body knows what it's doing when it comes to baby-building. You've come this far, right?

With that thought in hand, let's talk inductions.

The most commonly used chemicals for inductions are Pitocin, Prepidil, Cervidil and Cyotec, which all mimic (in varying ways) the naturally-occuring influx of hormones that will trigger labor in your body somewhere between week 36 and 42.

Despite being a convenient way for doctors to take control of your labor and birth, every one of these chemical induction agents carry several risks - including fetal and maternal death.

Chemical induction results in a significantly increased risk of fetal distress, hypoxia (too little oxygen) and c-section - which carries its own set of risks.

If you've already had one c-section, studies indicate that use of Pitocin the second time around increases your risk of uterine rupture (OUCH!) by 28%.

Oh, did we mention induction agents create contractions that'remuch stronger and more painful than what you'd naturally feel if left to labor on your own timetable?

That's right, not only is induction more dangerous than waiting for labor to progress naturally, but it hurts more. Nice.

Labor may be induced via non-chemical measures (sweeping membranes or breaking your water/amniotic sac), but none guarantee the same influx of hard-core contractions like the chemical agents do.

If there is no sign of real labor, then you should avoid induction altogether. Don't let your doctor scare you with reports of your baby being "too big" - not only are their weight estimates potentially wrong (yes, doctors are often wrong about the weight of the fetus when viewed by ultrasound) but many small women have birthed 10 pound babies with nary a tear in sight.

Think about it: your body is specifically designed/evolved to carry and nourish your baby until he or she is finally ready to come out. Your body isn't some sort of rickety contraption which may or may not be capable of giving birth. No, this is what your body is designedto do - whether you believe in evolution or creation!

GETTING YOUR BABY OUT OF BREECH:

One of the most common reasons doctors advise a c-section is for the simple fact that some babies (about 4-5%) are not in the birth-friendly head down position by their due date.

Without your baby's head leading out of the birthing canal, several issues may arise that can be problematic and even life-threatening if not handled correctly.

Rather than accept your little one's Breech position as the C-section sentence many doctors make it out to be, between now and the throes of labor, you can actively work to manipulate your baby so they're properly positioned to "head out" on their birthday.

From swimming on your head to tricking your fetus with a flashlight, check out 17 ways to Turn a Breech Baby if you want to prevent an unnecessary C-section.

WHY DO SO MANY DOCTORS CHOOSE TO INDUCE?

If the doctors were to be completely honest, they'd have to admit that their flow chart of: chemical induction → painful fake labor → epidural → "emergency" c-section (after labor fails to progress as your body isn't fully ready to give birth) is a much easier-to-control series of events.

Waiting for a woman's body to work it's way from early labor to the point she wants to bear down and push just isn't that easy to predict and control, and typically can be done just fine without any extra costly devices.

Lest we sound too negative, doctors are smart folks specifically trained to solve problems, treat disease and injury, and otherwise take an active role in preventing death and undue suffering.

Contrary to their medical training- which focuses on worst case scenarios that demand their interference, labor is one situation where there simply is no problem and the best option is to wait, watch and trust the woman's body to do the amazing work we've been capable of since before doctors even existed.

Take home message: if you've had a healthy normal pregnancy, induction is the wrong choice - both for you and your baby.

This week, your amazing growing baby is around 3 pounds and 17 inches tall.

With each added layer of baby fat, your baby's wrinkly raisin skin starts to look more and more like it will when they're born.

The heavy news: you can expect your miracle-gro muffin to gain about a half a pound of weight per week from now until about two weeks before birth.

Your baby's developing immune system has made some serious gains over the past weeks getting them in full gear to face our disease-ridden world o’ wonders.

Even so, a large majority of your child’s immune strength will need to come from your milk in the first year.

Their cute little noggin’ (which could already be covered with luscious locks or just purty peach fuzz), is still soft because the skull bones have not yet fused together.

As disturbing as having an infant with a soft cracked skull sounds, it's pretty much a necessity for passage through the birth canal during labor.

If your baby is in your birth canal for an extended period, they'll come out with a bit of a cone head, as a result of their skull plates being compressed while in your rather snug birth canal. It's normal, harmless and their skull will even out into a more round, less cone-heady shape in the next few weeks.

Oh, and FYI: your baby may have that “soft spot” on their head for up to eighteen months after birth.

And how's mom doing?

Here’s a good way to deal with your mounting impatience (and distract you from your discomfort): map out your plan of action for the big day.

It’s an important and necessary step that’s both soothing and fun.

If you think about it, planning all the details of your labor now can be a real saving grace once the chaos and intensity of labor kicks in.

Planning a hospital birth:

*These guidelines also apply for a birthing center birth*

Pack a bag with a couple of changes of loose comfortable clothes (bikinis if you want to be hopping in and out of the shower/bath), reading material, music that you think would inspire/relax you during labor, and a camera.
Have an infant car seat, blankets, newborn diapers, wipes and a going-home outfit ready for your brand new baby's journey home.
If you haven't yet, choose who you want present during labor and whether you're going to have a doula/midwife who will mediate potentially pushy medical staff on your behalf - in order to support you and uphold your birth plan throughout labor.
Get to know your driving route to the hospital or birthing center like the back of your hand.
Make a list of typical medical procedures you're comfortable with and which ones you'd like to avoid during labor and birth. Type it up and print out the list to give it to your medical caregiver as soon as possible.
Start researching your pain management options. Read weeks 35, 36 and 37 for more detailed information and labor tips.
Include a post-birth plan to prevent your baby from being taken away from you, ensure that they're not given formula or a bottle, which can induce "nipple confusion" and make breastfeeding more difficult.

Planning a home birth

Make sure your midwife is available for the weeks around your due date.
Decide whether or not you want to rent a birthing tub!
Get the delivery room ready. Your midwife will provide you with a list of necessary equipment to buy and bring the rest herself.
Choose who will be present while you labor, and don't let anyone guilt you into including them if you're not sure they're the kind of person you'll want around when you're in the throes of labor.
Make sure you've got all the necessary infant supplies: newborn diapers and wipes, swaddling blankets, newborn clothes and a safe sleep space (whether in a protected co-sleeping area or crib/bassinet).
Make a go-to-hospital contingency plan with your midwife in the event something goes seriously wrong and medical intervention becomes necessary.
Start planning your pain management options and prepping yourself mentally for labor.

If you’ve been feeling weird little fluttering butterflies in your belly, it’s not just your run-of-the-mill pre-birth performance anxiety.

Actually, it's your amazing baby with a case of the hiccups: a fairly common occurrence at this point, due to them practicing breathing for their big birthday.

In addition to getting a round of butterfly-like hiccups, your little swimmer has arduously managed to accumulate enough baby fat to account for nearly 3.5% of their overall body weight.

Yeah, compared to we lardy adults, it’s not very impressive, but considering they used to have NO fat, it’s certainly a healthy (and body-warming) accomplishment in its way.

Another fantastic life-critical accomplishment: your baby's spleen is now in charge of hematopoiesis — the 10 dollar name for the process involved in building up certain important blood components.

And how's mom doing?

Last week we covered 10 reasons why you want to breastfeed, now we're going to cover why it's a challenge which ends in formula-feeding for a small percentage of women.Some women have issues with their milk supply due to poor nutrition, being away from their newborn too often, and/or stress, which often leads them to opt for formula rather than making simple diet and life changes that're more "milk-positive"

At first glance, it seems pretty obvious: pull out breast, attach child and voila! You and your newborn snuggle into one of the sweetest (literally - your milk is sweet!), most vital things you'll ever do for your infant.

Unfortunately for some women, this flow-chart breaks down at the "attach child" phase due to issues with latching - most frequently because the infant is "tongue-tied", which makes them unable to successfully latch on the mother's nipple. There is some dispute on the practice of tongue-clipping and its necessity for successful breastfeeding.

Other women have issues with their milk supply due to poor nutrition, being away from their newborn too often, and/or stress, which often leads them to opt for formula rather than making simple diet and life changes that're more "milk-positive".

Some women choose not to breastfeed because they are taking medications which're potentially risky to their infant.

The reality is: the majority of women who fail to breastfeed beyond the first month do so because they lack critical knowledge about breastfeeding and receive little active support from their partner and/or family in the process.

Either way, it's not a major tragedy if you're forced to choose formula, but many women still feel badly about their inability to breastfeed.

If you make an honest effort to breastfeed and fail due to circumstances which're truly beyond your control, you did your best - modern life isn't particularly infant-friendly, especially when it comes to breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding Basics

WARNING: The first months of breastfeeding are going to be a boot camp experience.

Your newborn will want to be at your breast virtually all of the time and not in a way you can schedule into your planner. This phase lasts about two months and becomes more regular and predictable by the third month.

Non-stop breastfeeding in newborns is instinctual. Respect mother nature's design by feeding whenever your infant cries with a dry diaper.

There is no such thing as an empty breast. Seriously, as long as you're baby's suckling contentedly, everything is fine - besides, their suckling stimulates milk production!

Breastfeed exclusively for the first six weeks without pumping.

Use lansinoh oil if your nipples chap or crack.

What you eat goes into your milk, so eat lots of veggies, fruits, whole grains, legumes, and stay away from junk food, fast food, fart-inducing foods, citrusy things, onions and cabbage.

Learn to slow yourself down, shut off your phone (as your supply and let-down are directly impacted by stress), clear your mind and focus on your body's interaction with your child and their well-being.

The healthier and happier you are going in, the more likely you'll be to successfully breastfeed your infant into toddlerhood.

Breastfeeding creates a uniquely intimate bond with your infant, which enables you to build a gentle healthy relationship with your child as they grow into toddlerhood.

Your not-so-tiny-anymore baby (2 pounds and 14.5 inches long!) is slowly rotating in preparation to “head out” for the grand entrance on their birthday!

Now obviously, this doesn’t happen overnight, but when you start to feel a new sort of pressure "down there" (aka your cervix), you’ll know you’ve got a fully flipped locked-n-loaded womb-fruit waiting for the countdown to launch!

If you feel like they're still not flipped, don't worry, you've still got time.

Impressive physical developments of the week: your child's lungs are already capable of breathing air as their vascular system can now handle oxygen/carbon exchange and their brain stem can now regulate rhythmic breathing as well as their basal body temperature!

For what it’s worth, at this point in a healthy pregnancy - if you were to give birth prematurely, your tiny fighter could easily win on the show: “Survivor: The Early Years.”

Go ahead, give your belly a gentle hi-five!

My baby's (2 lbs and 14.5 in!) amazingly complex and delicate central nervous system is now starting to regulate their body temp, breathing and is the cause of those tiny hiccups that feel like butterfly ...

And how's mom doing?

All aboard the same lame symptom train for one final looooong ride before we arrive at the labor and birthday party!Time to kick your baby-on-the-outside preparations into high gear: get the all-essential car-seat, stroller, baby wrap, diapers, a breast pump, a bassinet crib or other safe sleeping area and a clean space set-up for diapering

As you've probably noted, the hormone factory is once again running at full-tilt - causing nausea, heartburn, as well as Sasquatch-like hair growth.

Your *yaaaawn* increased fatigue stems from several factors, including weight gain, shortness of breath and of course, sleep deprivation associated with your big busy baby and blasted busted bladder. (See Week 29 for tips on how to alleviate fatigue!).

And yet another old symptom is back: breast tenderness is common at this phase due to milk production kicking in.

If this isn't your first child, and you've been breastfeeding throughout your pregnancy, your breast milk will begin to revert to colostrum soon. Some children, used to the taste of breast milk, will self wean at this point, though many will continue to feed happily. You may have heard from well-meaning sources that you need to wean your breastfeeder while pregnant - not true!

Our last thrilling third-trimester symptoms: more swelling cankles and feeling like you live in a Swedish sauna as a result of increased basal body temperature.

Thanks to your baby's body heat adding to your own, you're one hot mama!

Finally, the third trimester is definitely the right time to kick your baby-on-the-outside preparations into high gear: get the all-essential car-seat, stroller, baby wrap, diapers, a breast pump, a bassinet crib or other safe sleeping area and a clean space for diapering.

After you get all that under your belt, go ahead - relax and enjoy this time… when you’re not nauseous, constipated, running to the toilet, or just plain wiped out.

Oh yeah! Don’t forget your daily prenatal, get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water, stay active, and eat well!

Sheesh woman, we're tired just thinking about what you're going through. A healthy pregnancy definitely isn't for the weak!

At long last your little swimmer can see!

For the first time ever, your wee babe's eyelids have finally opened (remember: they were fused shut previously) and they’re probably having their first moments of sight as you read this (or maybe it already happened while you were brushing your teeth or browsing the internet or something).

In addition to taking in their first visual impressions of their comfy amniotic-filled studio, your little human-bean recently acquired the ability to move their head around.

That's right, if your child were clever enough (which they're not - yet), they could engage in that most basic of non-verbal communication - the head shake/nod. Not to mention, gawking!

In further anti-alien developments: your little super star’s head hair is starting to grow in!

Who knows, maybe a cute little cowlick or two is springing into position right now - the first of years of cute-but-stubborn bed-head.

Your wee piggy's toenails have recently grown in and they're still slowly piling up fat beneath their still-loose-n-wrinkly skin.

Most importantly, their brain tissue and neurons are all developing at a rapid pace, increasing their (genius-level?) brain activity, which will continue to function at accelerated levels for the first eight years of childhood!

And how's mom doing?

Hoorah! This is the final week of your second trimester! You're almost there!!!If you just got back from the restroom, we're sure you're aware that you’ve finally reached that infamous “live-on-the-toilet” phase of pregnancy where everything's bigger (boobs, butt, baby, belly) but your bladder

We won't go on and on about the joys of constipation, but if you’re curious why you’ve got to put up with this much-less-than-fun blockage, it’s because you’re producing higher levels of progesterone, which relaxes muscle tissue throughout your entire body, including your gastrointestinal tract and ultimately slows digestion down… waaaay down.

Not to fear, there are easy natural remedies for the joys of constipation:

Increase your standard fiber intake with more fresh fruits and veggies, oatmeal, or whole grains.
Get moving - your poop moves more the more you move!
Drink more water! (Not soda - sugar helps dehydrate you.)
If you haven’t been very active (tsk tsk!), try some brisk walking or swimming.
Increasing your general activity levels often inspires a bowel movement without requiring a suppository.

In a similar vein, many women experience jittery legs during the second half of pregnancy, which is a common condition known as Restless Leg Syndrome. This is caused by circulation issues due to the increased blood volume that has your heart working harder than it's ever had to before.

Although it's irritating, it's pretty much harmless as far as pregnancy symptoms go.

Cutting out caffeine, stretching your calf muscles slowly, and some nice and deep muscle massages are generally effective ways to help deal with RLS.

If you just got back from the restroom, we're sure you're aware that you’ve finally reached that infamous “live-on-the-toilet” phase of pregnancy where everything's bigger (boobs, butt, baby, belly) but your bladder.

Your best strategy is to accept the fact you’re going to need to pee every 15 minutes or so. If you manage to go for an hour or longer, count yourself amongst the lucky iron-bladdered few.

Are you ready to rock this last trimester?!

WEEK 25

Turn it around... and around

~length

Your little grower’s physical proportions are pretty much birth-ready and most of their remaining development will largely be weight gain and a ton of nervous system development.

The good news is: if your child were to be born premature, they’d likely survive without much trauma as their lungs started producing “surfactant” last week, which means their tiny respiratory system is getting stronger with each passing day.

Yes, now’s a good time for a minor sigh of relief and a quick pat on the back. All that hard work and conscientious living is really getting your child prepared for a healthy delivery.

In mobile-fetus news: your baby should be scootching slowly out of the breech position (head upright, with their butt-n-legs down by your pelvis) and start rotating around for a head-first exit through the birth canal.

If all goes well, and your little womb hi-jacker isn't a contrary one, they'll be locked-n-loaded in the next few weeks!

Time is short (or really long, depending on who you ask) — just (still!) 14 weeks left before you can go back to being a single-resident human... with one tiny brand-spankin' new family member!

MY BABY'S PROGRESS: WEEK 25

If my baby were born today, they would probably survive the ICU, as their tiny lungs CAN breathe. This week they SHOULD (if they're good) start scootching out of breech and rotating into a head-down position ...

And how's mom doing?

Trimester two is nearly over, which means you have that one epic-sized final stretch of pregnancy to enjoy (and suffer through)!If you've been feeling a bit like a pregnant Sasquatch these days - thanks to ALL of your hair being fuller, thicker, more plentiful and darker, don't worry, it's normal

Speaking of epic, you’re obviously carrying more weight now and your back is undoubtedly letting you know in more and less painful ways.

Make an effort to practice good posture to alleviate some of the back fatigue. If you didn't notice yet: slouching is actually harder on your back!

Hot baths are the simplest (and loveliest) way to alleviate the many aches associated with being a human pod. And don't worry about the temperature (no matter what your grandma says) - as long as you're not burning yourself, your body will be able to regulate the temperature in your womb.

If you're being painfully awakened in the middle of the night by a shooting leg cramp, this is par for the pregnancy-course. Just remember to breathe out and make an effort to relax your muscles as much as you can.

To prevent future leg cramps, try and get a little more magnesium into your diet in the form of black beans, squash or pumpkin seeds, spinach, and/or halibut.

Clearly, between leg craps and back pain it is past time to strong arm someone who loves you into giving you a massage.

Or if you're lucky enough to have the extra bucks, head to a spa that specializes in pregnancy massages and get the full-treatment!

Final note: If you've been feeling a bit like a pregnant Sasquatch these days - thanks to ALL of your hair being fuller, thicker, more plentiful and darker, don't worry, it's normal.

There are two basic reasons for this: 1) you're shedding much less hair than you usually do and 2) your body's hormones contribute to the way your body hair is growing right now - which is thick and luscious on your head... and unfortunately, everywhere else as well.

Before you start stocking up on razors and wax, you should know that this pregnancy hairiness will slowly return to normal after you've delivered your baby and your body gets all your postpartum hormones ironed out and on track by the third month.

WARNING: Once you're postpartum you may start losing handfuls of your pregnancy head hair in the shower. It's somewhat disturbing (and gross) just how much hair it is, but it's totally normal and nothing to worry about.

Legenda AE86(kosmo! online - 28/11/09)

2009-11-27T19:49:00.000-08:00

Legenda AE86

Oleh IRWAN ASRI MOHD NOR
irwan@majalahkereta.com.my

Adakah Toyota FT-86 mampu menyaingi populariti model legenda AE86?

PADA tahun 1985, Toyota telah melancarkan model Corolla terakhir yang menggunakan pacuan roda belakang. Konfigurasi enjin FF (Front Engine-Front Drive) ketika itu mula mendominasi pasaran dan dianggap paling ekonomikal, ringkas dan boleh dipercayai. Tradisi FR (Front Engine-Rear Drive) tidak lagi dianggap sesuai bagi kereta-kereta penumpang yang dijual untuk mengikut skala ekonomi berasaskan keuntungan modal.

Untuk pasaran luar, siri AE80 itu menerima transformasi yang digelar Corolla LE. Namun tidak ramai yang menyedari bahawa Toyota juga memiliki kereta sports kelas bawahan yang digelar Sprinter Levin dan Truneo.

Model-model itu dikenali dengan kod badan AE86. Dalam bahasa Jepun, ia disebut Hashi-Roku. Pada awalnya, ia merupakan sebuah kereta biasa seperti MR2 atau Mazda Savanna. Namun siri animasi Initial D dengan jalan cerita cukup dramatik telah meletakkan AE86 sebagai model legenda yang diingati ramai.

Aksi drifting dalam initial D mula popular dalam kehidupan realiti anak-anak muda Jepun. Di jalan yang berbukit dan berliku, kereta berpacuan roda belakang itu memasuki selekoh dengan cara menggelongsor atau digelar power slide. Keseronokan pemanduan itu berkait rapat dengan cara mengawal kereta tanpa menyebabkan kereta understeer. Popularitinya yang meningkat saban tahun membawa kepada penganjuran pertandingan yang lebih teratur.

Ia mula diiktiraf sebagai sukan bermotor bertaraf nasional dan dikenali sebagai D1 Gran Prix. Sama seperti AE86 dalam siri animasi tersebut, model itu tiba-tiba menjadi sangat popular baik di Jepun mahupun di negara yang pernah mengimport masuk legenda tersebut.

Malah, di Jepun pada hari ini, sebuah AE86 dalam keadaan baik, harganya boleh mencecah lebih 1 juta yen. Kira-kira RM40,000 sangat mahal untuk sebuah kereta yang berusia lebih 20 tahun.

Beberapa tahun yang lalu dalam majalah BestCar keluaran Jepun, timbul khabar angin bahawa Toyota akan menghasilkan semula AE86 dengan wajah baru. Peminat AE86 berhenti bernafas dan menantikan apakah perkembangan seterusnya.

Namun kegawatan ekonomi yang melanda menyebabkan hala tuju kebanyakan syarikat automotif tidak lagi sama. Walaupun Toyota merupakan pengeluar kereta terbesar dunia hari ini, namun membuat kereta bagi pasaran sekecil AE86 adalah satu perjudian yang terlalu besar untuk diambil.

Guna kepakaran Subaru

Selepas kemasukan Akio Toyoda, cucu kepada pengasas syarikat Toyota dan sebagai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Toyota Motor, dunia kembali berpaling kepada Toyota. Tidak lama selepas itu, Toyota mengumumkan model konsep FT-86. Ia bakal mengubat rindu legenda AE86 yang akan diperkenalkan sebagai sebuah model produksi pada tahun 2011.

Tanpa berselindung, Toyota mengumumkan akan menggunakan kepakaran Subaru yang mereka miliki pegangan 16.5 peratus dalam Fuji Heavy Industries.

Toyota dan Subaru mungkin dua pembuat kereta dengan tradisi yang berbeza. Subaru sangat sinonim dengan enjin Boxer dan pacuan empat roda (4WD). Pasarannya juga kecil dan mereka adalah pembuat kereta yang membuat kereta berdasarkan kebebasan juruteranya. Sementara Toyota pula berkaitan dengan konglomerat, keuntungan dan status.

Secara asasnya, FT-86 akan mengekalkan konsep dasar AE86, sebuah coupe dan pacuan roda belakang. Namun reka bentuknya jauh lebih sporty dan agak janggal untuk dipanggil sebagai Corolla. Ia direka di studio Toyota Europe Design Developement yang terletak di Nice, Perancis.

Produksi semula AE86

Sebelum model itu memasuki produksi, ramai yang skeptikal dengan istilah pengganti AE86. Ini kerana FT-86 langsung tidak mencerminkan sebuah liftback ringkas yang melambangkan model legendanya.

Enjin yang bakal digunakan datangnya dari kilang Subaru. Besar kemungkinan enjin boxer yang dihasilkan Subaru itu akan dipasangkan pada FT-86. Tetapi jika ia konfigurasi EJ20 Subaru, maka padanan pacuan yang paling sesuai ialah pacuan kesemua roda (AWD).

TOYOTA AE86 masih mendapat sambutan sehinggakan harganya boleh mencecah RM40,000 seunit.

Subaru merupakan yang terbaik dalam kalangan pembuat enjin empat silinder dari Jepun apabila berbicara tentang pacuan empat roda. Baik dari segi pembahagian berat, mahupun kesinambungan penghantaran kuasa. Namun, jika ia dipacu empat roda, adakah ia kekal sebagai legenda AE86?

Saya sering ditanya dengan soalan kenapa tidak dikeluarkan semula AE86. Baiklah. Pandangan kita tentang industri berbeza dengan apa yang berlaku secara realiti. Ramai mungkin menyangkakan AE86 akan mendapat sambutan menggila jika dilahirkan semula dalam bentuk asal. Sedangkan dari segi matematiknya, produksi untuk model itu memerlukan modal yang besar untuk diputarkan kembali menjadi kos dan keuntungan.

Era 80-an sangat berbeza dengan hari ini yang piawaian pengeluaran kereta baru sangat ketat. Aspek keselamatan kenderaan dan spesifikasi alam sekitar sahaja sudah memerlukan banyak belanja untuk dipatuhi. Segala bentuk parameter, ukuran dan teknologi pada AE86 yang asal tidak lagi melepasi standard industri hari ini.

Itu belum termasuk isu lebih kecil seperti keselamatan pejalan kaki di Eropah dan keselamatan tangki minyak di Amerika Syarikat. Seperti yang diketahui, pasaran di kedua-dua benua itu diperlukan untuk mendapatkan jualan awal yang penting bagi membayar semula kos pembikinan serta penyelidikan dan pembangunan (R&D) kereta tersebut.

Krisis pasaran dan identiti

Jika kereta itu menjadi realiti, FT-86 mungkin menghadapi krisis pasaran dan identiti apabila diperkenalkan kelak. AE86 mungkin sinonim dengan Levin dan Trueno. Nama-nama itu masih diguna pakai untuk generasi AE90/AE100 dan AE110.

Namun FT-86 mungkin sedikit janggal jika digelar dengan nama Corolla Levin FT-86. Bunyinya pelik sekali. Kalau tidak kepada umum, mungkin pada masyarakat sukan drift yang mengingati AE86 sebagai legenda yang tidak mungkin dilupakan.

TOYOTA FT-86 direka bentuk di Studio Toyota Europe Design Development, Nice, Perancis.

Toyota menyedari bahawa pasaran kereta sebegini masih kecil jika dibandingkan dengan statistik pengeluaran model-model penumpang yang lain. Menduga strategi awal tentang FT-86 mungkin keterlaluan. Tetapi sebuah kereta yang penting seperti itu memerlukan skop pemasaran yang betul agar ia cemerlang seperti lagendanya.

Bermula tahun 2000, nama-nama besar dalam model sports Toyota telah hilang dalam pasaran. Tidak ada lagi jati diri kereta sports murah Jepun yang dapat dilihat pada hari ini. Lihat sahaja pada generasi akhir Celica yang nyata tidak langsung sesuai dengan gelaran Celica yang merupakan legenda Mustang Jepun satu ketika dahulu.

Celica kali ini tidak ubah seperti Vios yang dipendekkan menjadi coupe dengan kit badan merapu. Prinsip asas sudah hilang. Itulah yang menyedihkan tentang perkembangan automotif Jepun hari ini. Jelas kelihatan, kereta-kereta hari ini dipengaruhi oleh pasaran. Bukan teknologi, idea, jiwa dan keghairahan jurutera yang tulen.

Anak kecil main api

Terbakar hatinya sendiri

Air mata darah bercampur keringat

Bumi dipijak milik orang

Nenek moyang kaya raya

Tergadai seluruh harta benda

Akibat sengketa sesamalah kita

Cinta lenyap di arus zaman

Indahnya bumi kita ini

Warisan berkurun lamanya

Hasil mengalir ke tangan yang lain

Pribumi merintih sendiri

Masa depan sungguh kelam

Kan lenyap peristiwa semalam

Tertutuplah hati terkunci mati

Maruah peribadi dah hilang

Kini kita cuma tinggal kuasa

Yang akan menentukan bangsa

Bersatulah hati bersama berbakti

Pulih kembali harga diri

Kita sudah tiada masa

Majulah dengan Maha Perkasa

Janganlah terlalai teruskan usaha

Melayu Gagah Di Nusantara

Selama 6 bulan menjalani latihan untuk sesi Jan 2000 di IKM....kami sudah menjadi mcm satu keluarga....susah senang di harungi bersama, kegembiaraan, kesedihan semua di kongsi........dan apabila keakraban terjalin antara kami sekelas........kami terpaksa melepaskan 2 org sahabat kami iaitu Tatty dan Zila yg meneruskan pangajian dlm Kejururawatan di sebuah hospital di Johor Bahru, so.......dari 20 - 2 = 18 org yang meneruskan pengajian di IKM besut ni
Bila dah masuk sem 2 ni....semua yg berlaku pada sem 1 menjadi pengajaran dan tauladan pada kami semua, membuatkan kami jadi dewasa, matang dan manjadi insan yg berguna pada nagara pada suatu hari nanti.
