Are you feeling out of breath lately? Though your baby certainly won’t feel breathless, your not-so-little sweetheart is also running out of room lately. But for a good reason - your baby is putting on loads of fat, growing furiously, and your womb can only hold in as much.

Because of the decreasing space inside your womb, you may feel about 10 kicks in an hour, which is reassuring enough! Now may be a good time to make kick-counting a habit, if you haven’t started yet. This helps you note down your baby’s pattern of movement.

Nevertheless, even with the lesser space, your baby is still lounging comfortably. As your baby moves about in a smaller comfort zone, he or she is still practicing movements like breathing, swallowing, thumb-sucking, hiccuping and pedaling.
