The baby weighs about 2400 grams.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h4″ text_size=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”125322″]Development of the Baby[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner limit_content=””][vc_column_inner width=”5\/12″][vc_single_image media=”1044″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”232421″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7\/12″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”449518″]The 8-month-old baby is so conscious in the womb that she prepares for birth. She is probably now turned upside down (cephalic position) so that she can easily get out of the womb. If it still hasn’t turned upside down this month, it could turn upside down in a few weeks. Some expectant mothers express that they feel their babies turn upside down. Approximately 96percent of babies turn upside down until birth. The face of the baby, who turns upside down and takes the birth position, should face back in recent weeks (anterior position). This posture is also advantageous in terms of cesarean surgeries.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”120110″]In the 8-month-old baby, the brain and nervous systems are fully developed. Brain cells continue to increase.
\nIn the 8th month of pregnancy, fine hairs (lanugo) on the baby’s skin continue to fall out. The Verniks Kazeoza layer, a thick, pasty, white and oily structure that has been forming on the surface of the skin for weeks, provides temperature control of the body and protects the baby’s skin from the acidic environment of the amniotic fluid. At the same time, there is the task of facilitating the passage of the baby through the birth canal at birth. In natural birth practices, it is ensured that the vernix layer remains on the babies’ skin for a while after birth, that is, the baby is not washed immediately. Thus, it is ensured that this oily layer continues to keep and nourish the baby’s skin during the adaptation to the outside world. In the first bath in the hospital, some of the varnish should be washed so that it remains on the baby’s skin.
\n“At 35 weeks of pregnancy, the baby’s skull bones are still soft, even if they continue to harden. The skull bones have not yet come together. There are soft tissues called fontanels between them. This soft area in the baby’s skull is called the fontanelle, and the complete closure and hardening of these tissues will only occur until the baby is 1-1.5 years old.<\/p>\n

The soft bones of the skull make it easier for the baby to pass through the birth canal.”
\nAt 8 months of pregnancy, the baby’s first black poop, called meconium, continues to accumulate in its large intestines. Until birth, babies usually don’t do this poop. Baby pooping in the womb may pose a health risk. If such a thing is noticed, the doctor’s decisions must be strictly followed.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h4″ text_size=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”177080″ subheading=”Your baby’s space is tight, but it still continues its vigorous movements between naps. You can also feel their hiccups. At 8 months, if your baby’s head is turned down, you will feel the buttocks under your stomach once in a while. Some expectant mothers say that they feel the pressure of their baby’s feet and fingers very clearly during these weeks.”]8 Month Baby Moves[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h4″ text_size=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”525808″]Ultrasound Image[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner limit_content=””][vc_column_inner width=”5\/12″][vc_single_image media=”1047″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”784136″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7\/12″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”100408″]Only a few weeks left for his\/her lungs to fully develop. In the meantime, your baby continues to make breathing movements by regularly swallowing amniotic fluid. You can see this breathing movement in the 8-month-old baby image.<\/p>\n

You can also see in the ultrasound images that your baby continues to suck her\/his thumb or other fingers at eight months of pregnancy. This allows her\/him to develop the sucking muscles that she\/he will need to be able to suckle her\/his mother’s breast after birth. The suction reflex will be fully developed at the beginning of the 9th month. For this reason, babies born before the 8th month may have some difficulty while breastfeeding.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”476732″]Your babies may not have turned upside down during the 8-month twin pregnancy. Or one might be upside down, the other might be standing sideways. It is advantageous for normal birth if both have turned down. If both are standing on the side, it may be more ideal to have a cesarean delivery. If everything is fine and you want to have a normal birth, you should choose a doctor and midwife who are experts in twin births.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h4″ text_size=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”124067″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette” text_color_solid=”#ff0000″ subheading=”Your groin pain may continue during 8 months of pregnancy.

Here are recommendations for a comfortable sleep during pregnancy:
\n\u2013 Do not condemn yourself to inactivity because you are pregnant. If you have the opportunity, get moving, do your exercises regularly and go for a walk,
\n\u2013 Do not sleep too long during your breaks during the day,
\n– Always try to go to bed at the same time,
\n\u2013 Do not skip your dinner and do not overeat,
\n\u2013 Do not eat heavy foods before going to sleep, as this type of food can make you sleepy. However, if your blood sugar is low, you may not be able to sleep this time. It is best to have a light snack, such as yogurt, before going to bed,
\n\u2013 Restrict your fluid intake in the evening to avoid frequent urination at night. Meet your fluid needs abundantly during the day,
\n\u2013 If you are not sensitive to milk, drinking warm milk 1 hour before sleep allows you to go to sleep and sleep deeply. If you are sensitive to milk, you can also eat 1 bowl of warm yogurt 1 hour before sleep.
\n\u2013 If your sleep is interrupted because you need to go to the toilet frequently at night, be careful not to drink fluids in the evening,
\n\u2013 Don’t think about things that worry you before you go to sleep. Share the issues that bother you a lot with your wife in the evening and relax,
\n– Sleeping with a high pillow or a few pillows overlapping under your head may prevent the reflux problem that may occur at night,
\n\u2013 Practice pregnancy yoga before going to sleep. Meditating after yoga also allows you to sleep deeply and calmly.”]What Can Be Done for a Healthy and Comfortable Sleep During Pregnancy?[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h4″ text_size=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”117066″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette” text_color_solid=”#ff0000″ subheading=”At 8 months pregnant, the size of your belly may start to seem unbelievable to you.
