Being 8 months pregnant generally refers to weeks 32 through 35 of pregnancy. This period is in the third trimester, where your baby is rapidly growing and gaining weight—more than half a kilogram during this month. By this time, most of the baby's organs are fully developed except the lungs, which are still maturing. Around this time, the baby may start settling into the birthing position, typically head down, facing the mother's back. The belly at 8 months is quite noticeable, with fundal height measuring around 32 to 35 cm, matching roughly the number of weeks pregnant. In summary, 8 months pregnant is roughly between the 32nd and 35th week of pregnancy, nearing the final stages before birth but still with some developmental milestones to complete for the baby, especially lung maturity.
