Pregnancy Week 29

The pregnancy wheel is rotating in full motion as your pregnancy enters the 29th week. The child is in full spirits as she grows up to enter the new world within a few short weeks. Every move of the beautiful little one must now be checked and recorded. The kicks and movement of the baby inside you must be noted; if possible using fetal kick counts available in stores. Any change in the frequency of your baby's kicks is an important piece of information that your doctor will certainly be interested in. The child is now in a position to regulate her own body temperature and the bone marrow will soon begin producing red blood cells. At this time, the baby is roughly fifteen and a half inches long and weighs close to two and a half pounds.
What's Bothering You In Week 29?

It is already week 29 of pregnancy and you must be thinking of when the baby will actually be born. By now it must be difficult to work. It is high time that you make appropriate arrangements for a maternity leave to avoid any undesired hassles. Troubles that presented themselves in the first trimester, like heartburn and constipation, might again resurface. Breathing problems will remain for the duration of the pregnancy. Hemorrhoids, due to a growing uterus and gas troubles, due to a slower digestive cycle are other key hassles to anticipate. Itchy hemorrhoids can be aided by applying a hot pad or cold compresses on the affected area. The pressure exerted by the uterus on the bladder accounts for more frequent urges to use the restroom.
