White sebum for protection<\/strong><\/p>\n Your baby’s skin is still covered with vernix, a white, slippery layer that protects him or her from being soaked by the amniotic fluid. Your baby loses this layer in the last weeks of your pregnancy. The vernix then enters the amniotic fluid in flakes. <\/p>\n The amniotic fluid therefore reveals whether the baby is being born at the right time. If the amniotic fluid is crystal clear without flakes, your child has been born slightly early. If the amniotic fluid is clear with flakes, your child is perfectly on time. Amniotic fluid that is milky white in color means that the flakes have dissolved and that your child is running a bit late. <\/p>\n If your child were to be born this week, he or she would likely still be completely covered with this thin layer of vernix, and you would have clear amniotic fluid.<\/p>\n If this is your first pregnancy, your baby will start to descend deeper into the pelvis with its head around this time. This is called engagement. Sometimes you can feel this, as you gain a bit more room in your stomach. If you are pregnant with a second or subsequent child, this engagement may occur later in the pregnancy. This is because the abdominal muscles have already been stretched somewhat more due to the previous pregnancy, so the baby now has a little more room. <\/p>\n In any case, your maternity leave has now started. On the one hand, it is a time to enjoy immensely. You are free and can devote yourself completely to preparing for the arrival of your child. On the other hand, it may well be that it is not fun at all from time to time. For example, when you have had another bad night’s sleep because you have to pee constantly, when you have swollen ankles and suffer from heartburn, when you no longer know how to sit properly and certainly not how to get up… <\/p>\n Af en toe kun je het dan ook goed zat zijn. Het zijn die typische laatste loodjes die behoorlijk zwaar kunnen zijn. Jezelf verwennen is altijd nog het beste medicijn tegen zo\u00b4n dip. Ga naar de kapper, maak een afspraak met de schoonheidsspecialiste, koop een mooi boek of ga een middagje de stad in met een vriendin. <\/p>\n En doe een middagdutje. Ook al slaap je misschien overdag niet \u00e9cht, het werkt wel ontspannend. Ook ontlast je hiermee je banden en je rug. De lekkerste houding om te liggen: op je zij, met een kussen ter ondersteuning onder je knie. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Week 36 White sebum for protection Your baby Your baby’s skin is still covered with vernix, a white, slippery layer…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1653,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"templates\/flex.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1838","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1838"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1838\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1839,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1838\/revisions\/1839"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/verloskundigenrotterdamwest.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Your baby<\/h3>\n
