28 Weeks

28 Weeks:

Symptoms this last week: Got calf cramps on Sunday (i'm sure it had more to do with 4 hrs of dancing at the wedding then pregnancy though LOL), Some hip pain on the 9 hr car ride to SD, burping alot now, having some mild swelling (again it could be the activity from this weekend), and I'm peeing more often again (didn't miss that!).....wow I actually sound a little pregnant this week!

Weight gain (148lbs starting): +3 total

Cravings: Cherry slushies

How Big is the Baby at 28 Weeks Pregnant?
By 28 weeks pregnant your baby is 15.75 inches or more! He weighs in at about 2 and a half pounds during pregnancy at 28 weeks! ****Measured 2.7 oz Last week's u/s*****

Your Baby's Growth and Development
Up until now if you were to look at your baby's brain during your pregnancy week by week it would appear smooth. By about 28 weeks pregnant however this changes, as the brain starts to mature and form grooves that we commonly associate with a human brain. Your baby may also be growing longer hair on her head by pregnancy at 28 weeks, though many babies will come out bald at birth. Others will be born with lovely locks of hair that will fall out and even change color some time after delivery.

Your baby should also be sprouting eyelashes by pregnancy 28 weeks, which will blink repeatedly if you were to shine a bright light on your belly.

Your Growth and Development
By pregnancy 28 weeks your uterus measures at least 3 inches above your bellybutton, or is approximately 28 cm tall. You should be steadily gaining weight from pregnancy week 28 and beyond.
