28 Weeks Pregnant Fetal Development, Ultrasound, Belly Pictures

Now you are in the middle of the seventh month of pregnancy. The 28th week – this is the third trimester. You have not so much time until birth, and you still need to be prepared for this event. Many mothers are still working, although some ailments make you think about your coming maternity leave. It is really not so far.

You still live a normal way of life, but it does not mean that you do not need help. Being 28 weeks pregnant, you should not do anything dangerous and tedious: do not carry heavy bags, do not hang curtains and laundry – do not keep your hands up for a long period of time.

Your baby is as big – As a lettuce

LENGTH- 14.68 in – WEIGHT- 1.95 lb

Fetal Movements

Your baby’s movements are quite strong – a fetus is active at this stage of pregnancy. Mommies can clearly feel and even see the movements of the baby. Sometimes the belly moves to the right side, and then, on the contrary, to the left. If you are 28 weeks pregnant – fetal movements are inevitable! This situation will go on up to week 32 of pregnancy. Then the baby will be cramped in the uterus, and he will become not so active.

So by this week, you have gained about 9 kg. This increase still allows you to be quite active, though, you feel a little awkward. You have become accustomed to many ailments. Some suffer from heartburn while others don’t even know about heartburn, nausea, and back pain.

Fetal Weight

Your baby has already become quite big, he has learned to blink and feel the sweet and sour taste.

However, your baby still does not have any taste preferences. In most cases, he agrees with his mother. So if a mom is a fan of hot sauces and seasonings – the child involuntarily gets used to them.

Your baby has become stronger. And you certainly feel it because he pushes maybe even painful now. The baby moves less during the day, but he can even “rage” at night. It happens due to the fact that: your movements calm him down during the day. So he prefers to sleep.

Many kids had already taken the correct position. However, if your child did not do it, do not worry, he still has time to turn over.

Children born at 28 weeks are already viable. And though their odds are not so great, today’s medicine is more confident in nursing such babies.
