Our baby boy is 29 turning 30 weeks old.

Detailed child info: Weight: approx. 3.0 Ibs Length: approx. 17 in At this stage: The brain begins to be characteristically wrinkled.

Around this week, some children eventually turn upside down and remain in this position until birth. Now you’ll feel kicks only in the stomach. No more attacks on the bladder. Observe fetal movements. Remember that there is less and less room in the uterus and therefore the frolicking is not so intense. Stay alert, but don’t panic. Usually it turns out that the child had a longer nap. Remember to keep your diet rich in calcium and iron. The baby takes iron from you, and builds up stores like a hamster. How’s your little one? Lanugo covering him begins to fade, but some of it will probably stay until birth. Brain is constantly folding and great progress in folding is very well visible in ultrasound.

Our baby boy is 28 turning 29 weeks old.

Detailed child info: Weight: 2.6–2.8 Ibs Length: 14.9–16.1 in At this stage: The brain is developed so well that it begins to control the constant body temperature.

The child in the 29th week of pregnancy passes his time mostly sleeping. No news, after birth it is the same. It has been proven that most of the sleeping inside your womb (70–80%) is in the REM phase, i.e. the phase of rapid eye movement. What does this mean? Well, the baby is dreaming. What could he be dreaming about inside there? The little one is digesting the noises heard during the day, i.e. mum’s heartbeat, stomach rumbling when she is hungry, her voice, voices from outside. He may be also dreaming about everyday playing with the umbilical cord, who knows? The nervous system is already fully developed, and this means that the child responds to stimuli in the same way as an adult, i.e. in a flash.

Our baby boy is 27 going on 28 weeks =)

Detailed child info: Weight: approx. 2.4 Ibs Length: 13.4–14.9 in At this stage: The child can see the light and hear sounds coming from the external world.

The child is still growing. In addition to being longer and longer, he also starts to accumulate typical baby fat. Air sacs begin to develop a network of blood vessels. Thus at the first breath the oxygen will be immediately transported to the brain. And by the way the unconditional reflexes are amazing. You cut off the umbilical cord and a child knows that it’s time to take a breath. No wonder that he knows. For over half of the gestation he was training intensely, inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid. This is a hard job. Your child knows you from the side, where we least expect it. He knows the sounds of your heartbeat, rumbling stomach, hiccups, digestive noises, yawns, laughter, speech, crying. Everything is heard from the inside. After delivery he will immediately recognize your voice.
