A 29 week fetus weighs about 2. Twenty-nine weeks pregnant is seven months pregnant. Figure out how to navigate double the baby by doubling up on support. Twenty-nine weeks pregnant weight gain is typically about 19 to 25 pounds. For women who are 29 weeks pregnant with twins, weight gain is around 23 to 38 pounds.
Baby is starting to feel a bit crowded and, thanks to surging energy levels, is pretty active. Baby should move 10 times within the span of an hour. One of those activities should wake baby up. Around this time, baby will turn head down in your baby bump in preparation for birth.
Though about a quarter of babies may still be breech at this point, only about 3 to 4 percent remain breech at full term. Sometimes you can tell what position baby is in by paying attention to where the big kicks are compared to the smaller punches. That means all those kicks and jabs are getting stronger. Some pregnant women find varicose veins painful, while others have no discomfort at all. Like stretch marks, they can be passed on from generation to generation. If you want to prevent or minimize their appearance, your best bet is to keep your circulation going by avoiding standing or sitting for a long time.
Aim to get in some daily exercise and try wearing special support hose, which can also be helpful. Most of the time, varicose veins recede within a few months after delivery. Have you counted your baby's kicks today? Once you've passed week 28, you should be monitoring them every day. To make sure everything's A-okay inside, get into the habit of counting kicks once or twice a day, depending on what your doctor recommends. Best to do it lying down, since babies are more likely to perk up when Mom's resting — a pattern they tend to continue after they're born — or sitting if you're not comfortable on your back.
Count any and all movements, even swishes and rolls, until you hit If you haven't reached 10 within an hour, your little Rockette may just be taking a break right now, so have a light snack and try again — that blood sugar rush is likely to get baby back on the move. Just remember that fewer than 10 movements within two hours warrants a call to your practitioner. Chances are everything's fine, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Stock up on nursing pads now! Colostrum contains more protein but less fat and sugar than more mature breast milk, making it easier for baby to digest in the first few days after birth.
Make sure you get enough iron in your diet and enough movement during the day. Seeing the price tags for cribs, changing tables and gliders — not so much. Hang some vintage pictures, inexpensive online prints or drawings from older siblings on the walls, or get creative with stencils and decals. Or position some colorful toys on the open shelves to create vibrant displays. Those pregnancy hormones may make your skin more sensitive to things that never used to bother you, such as sunlight, heat, detergents, chlorine and even certain foods.
You may notice more itching, redness and even a rash. Having the right stuff for working out is especially important during pregnancy, when your body is more sensitive to overheating and fatigue and your sense of balance is compromised. Make sure you have comfy shoes with a solid arch support, a good sports bra, water to drink before, during and after exercise, a cool, wet cloth in a small plastic bag to wipe your neck or face, and just in case, a cellphone, money and some identification.
The big day is coming, so here's a big question: What is cord blood, and should you bank or donate your baby's? First, a definition: Cord blood is what remains in the umbilical cord and placenta following birth. Why is this blood so important? It's because cord blood contains stem cells that can be used to treat certain diseases, such as some forms of cancer including leukemia and lymphoma. To collect the blood, a doctor or hospital staff member will draw it from the umbilical cord vein just after the baby is born.
More and more parents are saving their baby's cord blood, either for donation to a public facility so the cells can be used by others in need, or for private storage so it's available should the need arise within their own families. Whichever you choose — and it's okay if you choose not to at all — you should talk to your practitioner about it now so all the necessary and lengthy prep work can be done in advance.
The HPB recommends that infants start on age-appropriate complementary foods at around 6 months, whilst continuing breastfeeding for up to 2 years or beyond to meet their evolving nutritional requirements. If no longer breastfeeding, toddlers can switch to full cream milk after 12 months. This should be complemented by a good variety of solid foods from the four main food groups fruits, vegetables, grains, meat and alternatives. For more information on the nutritional requirements of infants and young children, please visit www.

Baby's Growth and Development When You're 29 Weeks Pregnant Your baby in the 29th week of pregnancy might be best described as long and strong! Your baby probably weighs almost 3 pounds.

Thirty-nine weeks into your pregnancy, or 37 weeks after conception, your baby's chest is becoming more prominent. For boys, the testes continue to descend into the scrotum. Fat is being added all over your baby's body to keep him or her warm after birth. By the end of the 40th week of pregnancy — 38 weeks after conception — your baby is considered full term. Remember, however, that healthy babies come in different sizes.
