Everything you need to know about the ninth month of your pregnancy

You're almost there! Now, around this time, you might feel a little clumsy or as if you might lose your balance.

Having trouble sleeping at night? Experiment with different sleeping positions.

Swollen breasts? That's because they're beginning to fill with milk by this time.

Common Symptoms

What is happening with your baby?

Your baby's eyes will have colour by this time but they are not fixed and may change within the next six months. Around this time, he will be receiving antibodies through the placenta as his immune system is still rather weak. The antibodies will be received via your colostrum with milk when he is born.

Foods that have high fiber content like whole-grain breads, cereals, fruits, dates and vegetables.
Foods that are rich in iron such as chicken, fish, broccoli, spinach, peas, lentils, soybeans, berries, dried fruits including prunes, grapes, oranges and apples.
