About this episode
In this episode, hosts Jana Pittman and Grace Rouvray discuss the identity shift of becoming a parent while exploring baby development at week 33 of pregnancy.
Welcome to Hello Bump, a podcast about what you’re not expecting when you’re expecting. In this episode, hosts Jana Pittman and Grace Rouvray discover your baby is around the size of a small chihuahua or a little red panda! At week 33, your baby’s nearing the 2kg mark, and its brain and nervous system are almost fully developed. Meanwhile, you might start to have a lot of swelling and maybe even some vision changes. Plus, Grace asks Jana about managing the identity shift of becoming a parent. THE END BITS: Discover more Mamamia podcasts here . Email us: podcast@mamamia.com.au Share your story or feedback.
