the urge to spring clean, but don't overdo it.
- If this is your first baby, heartburn, indigestion,
and breathlessness should lessen once the head drops
in the pelvis.
- Your bladder is under pressure, so you may want
to urinate more often.
- You may tire easily, because of poor sleep and the
extra weight of the baby.
- Braxton Hicks contractions may become more frequent
and intense.
