Weight gain is rapid and quarters are getting snug, so expect rolls, stretches and jabs rather than big kicks.

The kidneys are fully developed and the liver can process some waste products on its own. Most of the remaining growth is fat: the arms and legs are noticeably plumper, and the shoulders are rounding out. There is very little room left, so the fetus is curled tightly with knees to chest.
Sizes and weights are averages — healthy babies vary widely, and your scan measurements are what count.
Your uterus now sits just under the ribcage, so heartburn and breathlessness may be at their worst — until the baby drops. Hemorrhoids, hip pain and swollen feet are common. Some people notice more frequent, firmer Braxton Hicks after walking or a busy day.

At 35 weeks 0 days you are 245 days into a 280-day pregnancy, which leaves 35 days — 5 weeks — until 40 weeks. That number drops by one for every day you move through this week. Remember the due date is an estimate: only about 1 in 20 babies is born on it, and most arrive within two weeks on either side.
Next milestone: 14 days until early term (37 weeks 0 days).
A calendar month averages about 4.3 weeks — not 4 — so you can't just divide your week number by four. Instead, months of pregnancy are counted as uneven buckets of 4 to 5 weeks, arranged so the full 40 weeks fits into 9 calendar months. Week 35 falls in month 8, in the third trimester.
Your care team will always use weeks and days rather than months, because screening windows and term definitions are set by exact week — months are just the everyday shorthand. For the full conversion, see the weeks to months chart, or go the other way with the months-to-weeks guide.
Your notes will show a week and a day — 35+3 or 35w3d, for example. Pick the exact day you are on for its own day count, countdown and month answer.

About 5 weeks until the 40-week mark — though only about 1 in 20 babies arrives exactly on the due date. Most are born within two weeks on either side of it.
At 35 weeks 0 days you are 245 days into a 280-day pregnancy, so there are 35 days left until the 40-week mark — that's 5 weeks. The count drops by one for each day you move through week 35.
35 weeks is 245 days, counted from the first day of your last menstrual period (35 × 7 = 245). Add the days into your current week for the exact figure — for example 35 weeks 3 days is 248 days.
