You are already in the 29th week of pregnancy, and your baby is 27 weeks old. The fetus weighs more than a kilogram (approximately 1.250 to 1.300 grams) and may be 37 or 38 centimeters tall. It highlights the complete development of the organs of vision, and it is remarkable that the eyes are already sensitive to lightAlthough this sense will not be able to be experienced until after delivery. In general, all the senses are developed, which is closely related to the maturation of the cerebral cortex.
If you see your baby in an ultrasound, you will notice that his head is quite large, compared to the abdomen, it is not until the 35th week that the development of the baby allows to appreciate a greater proportion in the small body. As you know, the lungs will not finish maturing until they are born, but they already have a lot of capacity to exchange oxygen. I am also going to explain to you what changes happen in the mother's body, to begin with, you may already be feeling the Braxton Hicks contractions, whose mission is to get the uterus in shape.
If you have not been pregnant before or are not very connected with your body, I will tell you that they are irregular and annoying but not so painful (not far from it) like the labor contractions; don't worry if you experience them, they are like abdominal cramps.
Week 29 of pregnancy.
There are still several weeks left, but you are already in the third trimester: your body and mind work hard to prepare for the special moment of the first meeting with the baby. And that your body prepares also implies that you gain up to half a kilo for each week that is missing, because the requirements to which you must attend are many (the baby's own weight, the placenta, the amniotic fluid, etc.) If you are eating balanced You should not worry so much, although do not forget to exercise daily.
And of course, your belly has grown a lot (and what is missing), notice that it almost reaches the thorax. Being tired and having back or leg pain is the most normal, I think that no matter how well you are, the strange thing would be not to accuse such weight gain. You will also need to urinate more frequently, you may already have swollen feet or you may discover some stretch mark; I always say that the reason is worth it, but be sure to ask your midwife if you have any questions or concerns.
8 to 12 weeks until delivery, enough to get to arrive calm and relaxed at it, that you enjoy it; and see you in week 30.
