This week is a week that the mother will not like very much, to be honest. The baby in the mother's belly is gradually gaining weight and getting heavier, or rather, it is becoming uncomfortable. The contractions that the mother felt very little in the previous weeks will now start to hurt the mother a lot. These contractions will start to get both heavier and more frequent this week. A single contraction will last about fifty seconds and these contractions will be renewed three or four times in ten minutes. The increase in these contractions will take you to the hospital more often. You can easily understand the contractions when you put your hand on the mother's belly, that is, the contractions become so obvious this week. Birth can also occur this week, so the mother needs to be constantly monitored.
