Pregnancy Week 31 brings stronger and more noticeable movements as your baby continues to grow and space becomes more limited in the womb. Your baby is now the size of a pineapple, and you may feel stretching, rolling, or firm pressure as your baby gains strength and settles into position.

In this episode of Pregnancy Week by Week, we explore everything happening at 31 weeks pregnant: baby growth, common third trimester symptoms, and what is normal as your body continues to change.

What we cover in this episode:

• Baby size, position and movement patterns at 31 weeks pregnant
• Common third trimester symptoms and what is normal
• Managing emotional shifts, irritability and overwhelm
• Body based calming techniques for emotional regulation
• Hypnobirthing sessions to help you prepare for birth
• How to feel more calm, supported and prepared in the third trimester

This week you may be experiencing:

• Stronger and more noticeable baby movements
• Stretching, rolling or firm pressure from your baby
• Shortness of breath and back pain
• Sleep disruption and restlessness
• Feeling overwhelmed, tired or more irritable than usual
• A growing sense that birth is getting closer

This stage can also bring emotional shifts, including feeling overwhelmed, tired, or more irritable than usual. These feelings are completely normal at 31 weeks pregnant. Learning how to regulate your nervous system can help you feel more calm, supported, and prepared as birth approaches.

You will also be guided through a calming body based exercise to help you slow down, release tension, and reconnect with your baby.
