Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What is the fetal development at 36 weeks?Doctor's answer:
At 36 weeks, the pregnant woman may feel a heavy and distended lower abdomen, which is mainly due to the baby gradually descending in the mother's abdomen. The symptoms such as shortness of breath and stomach discomfort experienced by the pregnant woman in the previous period will begin to alleviate in this stage. However, as the weight increases, the pregnant woman's mobility becomes more and more inconvenient, and some may even feel as if the baby is about to come out at any moment. Additionally, some pregnant women may frequently feel the urge to urinate, all of which are normal phenomena and need not cause concern.Doctors can measure the baby's weight through ultrasound, but the baby's weight may still change in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the pregnant woman will increasingly feel heavier in her body during these weeks, so it is important to be cautious with movement and avoid long periods of standing.
