About this episode

In this episode, hosts Jana Pittman and Grace Rouvray discuss the baby's development at week 36 of pregnancy and address GBS testing.

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 honeydew or a small watermelon! At week 36, you’re only a week away from being full term and your baby will be around 2.7–3kg in size. Jana explains how you might start feeling a drop in your pelvis as your baby’s head moves further down in preparation for birth. Plus, Grace asks about GBS testing and how you can manage birth if you do test positive.  THE END BITS: Discover more Mamamia podcasts here .
