29 weeks pregnant
29 weeks pregnant - last work week! at the end of this week you will most likely receive the coveted sick leave and fully immerse yourself in the preparation for the arrival of the baby. Only 9-10 weeks left!

Week 29 is the beginning of the third trimester of pregnancy, it may already be hard for you, but there is very little left, do not rush time, enjoy these minutes of pregnancy. Relax, but do not forget about hiking, collect dowry for the baby, look after the crib and stroller. In general, completely immerse yourself in pleasant worries!

By the 29th week of pregnancy, a woman's weight increases by an average of 7 kg, someone will add less, someone a little more. Both of those are the norm. But it is better not to allow large increases, because. this can complicate childbirth. big baby and the extra weight of the mother is, as a rule, a difficult birth. Therefore, pay attention to weight gain, and if the reason excess weight do not edema, balance your diet. Limit flour, sweet and fatty foods. Load up on vegetables and fruits, lean meats and fish. Weekly weight gain in the third trimester should not exceed 300 grams.

The movements of the baby at the 29th week of pregnancy become less active, but more noticeable. The amount of amniotic fluid is getting smaller, and the baby's weight is increasing, it is getting stronger every day, there is nothing surprising in the fact that you now feel the movements very well. Sometimes in a calm environment it seems that the stomach lives its own own life, dancing, you can even distinguish the elbows, heels of your baby. If you feel uncomfortable, try changing your position, it often helps. Children move very actively when they lack oxygen, for example, in a stuffy room, walk more.

Old friends - heartburn and constipation - can come to the fore at 29 weeks pregnant. progesterone relaxes muscles gastrointestinal tract, plus, an increasing filling of the abdominal cavity as a result - a slowdown in digestion - heartburn, gases and constipation. To prevent constipation, eat more fiber-rich foods, drink more fluids, and move more.

The growing uterus contributes to the appearance of another "pleasant moment" - hemorrhoids. Swollen blood vessels in the rectal area are normal in the second half of pregnancy and usually go away some time after delivery.

Some may notice at this stage of pregnancy that lying on the back for a long time and getting up abruptly causes dizziness. You should not lie on your back for too long, thereby squeezing the vena cava, and blocking your blood flow, just as you should not get up abruptly, because now your fall from dizziness can harm the baby.

your baby

A baby at 29 weeks of pregnancy continues to do his job - eat, sleep and actively grow to the delight of his mother. His weight by this week of pregnancy is already more than a kilogram - this is 1100-1300 gr. And its length is about 37 cm. If suddenly the baby is born this week, he may already be able to breathe on his own and to some extent keep warm. But it’s better to let him wait his due date) the baby begins to accumulate white fat and quickly gain weight. He already has round cheeks. So conceived by nature in order to provide the baby with the ability to suck, necessary for survival. Legs and arms are still very thin.

Perhaps the baby is already correctly located in the mother's stomach - head down. But if this has not happened yet, there is no reason to worry. He still has a lot of time to take the right position. The baby is already very similar to a newborn - it remains only to gain weight and prepare the lungs. Hearing, taste, smell, vision are formed almost like a newborn. A baby at 29 weeks pregnant is able to distinguish between light and dark, and even basic colors. True, he still cannot focus his vision, everything blurs in front of his eyes with colored spots. He is too farsighted, but by birth his vision will improve significantly. The kidneys work well and excrete about half a liter of urine per day. Enamel appears on the teeth hidden deep under the gums.

30 weeks pregnant

30 weeks pregnant - and here it is the long-awaited maternity leave! It's time to start preparing for the arrival of the baby, collect a bag for the hospital, a first-aid kit for a newborn, equip a baby nest at home. Now you need to listen to music, read books, fantasize, imagining your baby, and be sure to walk every day. Often, mothers notice at this time the first discharge of colostrum from the breast - the harbingers of the natural process of breastfeeding.

You need to carefully monitor your health. In addition to the previous sensations, at the 30th week of pregnancy, the expectant mother may feel:

numbness of fingers. Especially often an unpleasant sensation of numbness and tingling in the fingertips is observed after sleep. This condition, which occurs in more than half of pregnant women, is associated with excessive accumulation of fluid in the limbs, which leads to swelling of the wrists and circulatory disorders in the hands. Another cause of numbness, as well as soreness and tingling in the fingers and toes, may be that in a certain position of the body, the uterus compresses the nerve endings.
sore feet and hips (restless legs syndrome), a sensorimotor disorder that manifests itself in erratic movements and twitching of the legs during evening rest or night sleep, when the woman lies quietly. This condition can become a serious obstacle to proper rest, although it does not pose any danger and passes without any treatment after childbirth. Restless legs syndrome is associated with a lack of iron in the body, folic acid and stagnation of blood in the veins of the lower body.

At 30 weeks of gestation, fetal movements are felt somewhat less frequently. There is less space in the uterus with every week of pregnancy, but the baby is getting stronger, and these movements are felt very clearly, almost painful.

Continue to control weight gain. It is important not to miss the onset of fluid retention in the body associated with preeclampsia. One of the main symptoms of preeclampsia are edema. You can independently notice their appearance, shoes and rings become tight, fingers swell, and you feel it clenching your hand into a fist. It is worth complaining to your gynecologist if you add more than 500 grams in a week or notice that you have begun to swell.

your baby

At 30 weeks of pregnancy, the baby can overcome the weight limit of 1500 grams, and the height is about 40-42 cm. The brain continues to develop rapidly and increase in size, so the volume of the baby's head also increases. The flexibility and pliability of the bones of his skull not only allow the brain to quickly increase its volume, but also help the baby's head to pass relatively freely through the birth canal. Such properties of the skull bones and their joints will remain for some time after childbirth.

In the baby's liver, iron accumulates, which will be involved in the formation of blood cells in the first year of his life.

The behavior of a child at this stage of pregnancy is no different from the behavior of a newborn: he plays, squints when a bright light hits his stomach, yawns and stretches. At 30 weeks pregnant, the baby still hears loud internal noises. The beat of the mother's heart and the noise of blood flow in the vessels, the rumbling intestines create an even, stable sound background that accompanies the child all the time. Through it, the voices of people can be heard outside, including mom and dad, mom's voice also resonates in her body, the baby hears it in a special way. Active children, while still in the uterus, behave very actively, often move, push hard, and calm babies love to sleep even before birth.

31 weeks pregnant

At 31 weeks of pregnancy, the fundus of the uterus has already risen 8 cm above the navel. The skin on the abdomen stretches, thins and can itch because of this. For many expectant mothers, the umbilical cavity begins to smooth out. Weight gain since the beginning of pregnancy can reach 12 kg. With the release of maternity leave, the risk that you will completely stop moving increases, do not relax, if your health allows, take daily walks, the child needs fresh air, do simple exercises for pregnant women, visit the pool, prenatal courses.

However, walking becomes more and more difficult, the legs quickly get tired and swell. Many expectant mothers at this time begin to experience symptoms of varicose veins. When walking and standing, the lower back bends forward to compensate for the weight of the abdomen. This leads to back pain and rapid fatigue. Walks should be planned in such a way that it is possible to periodically rest, sitting or even lying down. To unload the spine and improve the outflow of urine, expectant mothers are recommended to be in the knee-elbow position at least four times a day for about 10 minutes. To do this, you need to get on all fours, and lower your shoulders and head below the level of your hips. For convenience, you can put a pillow under your elbows. This position is also very useful for varicose veins of the vagina and hemorrhoids. It also helps to normalize the tone of the uterus and improves the supply of oxygen to the fetus, as it relieves stress from uterine arteries and inferior vena cava.

your baby
By the 31st week of pregnancy, the weight of the fetus mainly increases due to muscle and adipose tissue, and white fat accumulates, being deposited on the face, arms and legs. The baby is rounded and no longer looks as thin as before. His most recently red and wrinkled skin is visibly smoothed and thickened, taking on white-pink color. He continues to accumulate the subcutaneous fat layer and his skin becomes lighter, and the thermoregulation system is already able to maintain normal temperature body. The pupils of the baby begin to react to light, and his eyes are now able to focus. During this period, the child develops a corneal reflex, which manifests itself in the fact that the eyelids of the baby will immediately close, protecting the pupil, if something, for example, his finger approaches the cornea of \u200b\u200bthe eye. In all children, the intrauterine eye color is gray-blue, and the iris begins to acquire one or another individual shade a few weeks after birth.

The baby sleeps most of the time. During this period of development, he is characterized by sleep in the fast phase, when the brain is actively functioning, and the child dreams. Nerve connections in his body continue to actively improve, and nerve fibers are covered with a myelin sheath. It protects the nerve and allows you to increase the speed of transmission of nerve impulses. This allows the baby to perceive and assimilate new information.

The child's liver produces bile and begins to cleanse his blood of harmful substances.

In the third trimester of pregnancy, the body of the child with each day spent in the uterus becomes more and more adapted to life outside.

The amount of birth lubricant increases, it accumulates in natural folds, its task is to protect the skin from amniotic fluid and facilitate childbirth. The fetus at 31 weeks of gestation can do a lot. His reflexes, necessary for birth, are becoming more and more perfect. He already knows how to suck and swallow perfectly, which he does by swallowing amniotic fluid. He feels their taste, and his appetite depends on what mom ate, if she pampers herself with sweets, the baby will swallow more often.

32 weeks pregnant
At the 32nd week of pregnancy, an ultrasound scan is prescribed, the gestational age of 31-32 weeks is a screening one, that is, when an ultrasound scan is performed for everyone with a preventive purpose. Since the amount of amniotic fluid has decreased, the baby has taken the correct position, which probably will not change. You can assess his height and weight and compliance with the gestational age, whether there is intrauterine growth retardation.

At the 32nd week of pregnancy, the placenta is also in its final place, migration has ended and if there is a presentation, it will remain until delivery. You can also assess the condition of the placenta, whether everything is in order, whether it copes with its functions. The development of the placenta has long ceased, and it begins to age. Aging is understood as a decrease in the functionality of the placenta, and if the mother does not correct image life, smokes or has been ill with ARVI - aging is accelerating. This can lead to the fact that its function will become insufficient to fully support the child, and he will begin to suffer from a lack of oxygen and nutrients. It's called feto placental insufficiency. An important symptom it is a change in the nature of the movements of the child.

your baby
At the 32nd week of pregnancy, the baby already weighs about 1800-2000 grams, and its height can be about 42 cm.

In the child's body the immune system intensively produces antibodies to protect it from the dangers of the external environment in the first weeks after childbirth.

The nervous system continues to improve. The child's brain is fully formed, its cortex is covered with convolutions, activity cycles, all nervous reactions and most reflexes have formed. At birth before time premature baby at 32 weeks of pregnancy, he is quite capable of emotionally screaming. The baby is already able to rejoice and be upset, feel pain and pleasure. Thanks to the development of special nerve endings, proprioceptors, which transmit information from the muscles to the central nervous system, the baby is able to better coordinate his movements and realize what position his arms, legs or head are in.

The endocrine system of the child is fully functioning, and his adrenal glands begin to produce a special hormone, under the influence of which prolactin is produced in the woman's body, which is responsible for stimulating lactation.

The head of the child becomes more proportional in relation to the body, and at this time there are already hairs on it, in blondes they are usually more rare and thin.

As the subcutaneous fat grows, the fluff that covers the body of the child becomes unnecessary and gradually falls out. Sometimes this process does not have time to complete before childbirth and continues in the first days of a newborn's life.

The baby at the 32nd week of pregnancy has almost completed its development, only the lungs are ripening. Childbirth at 32 weeks of gestation is no longer so dangerous, even those newborns who were born in not the most favorable conditions survive, for example, in those that do not have departments for nursing premature maternity hospitals. Their only significant problem is the need for heat and oxygen therapy, since the lungs have not yet matured. However, lung maturation can now be helped by injecting artificial surfactant into the baby's trachea immediately after delivery. This substance is necessary for straightening the lungs after childbirth, and is normally produced by them in sufficient quantities by 35-36 weeks of pregnancy.

Around this time, the baby occupies the position in the uterus in which he will be born. Most often, this is a head-down position, however, in some cases, the presentation of the fetus may be different. However, there is still time before delivery and the baby can still take the correct position.

Also, strictly according to indications, an ultrasound scan is performed at 29 weeks. The study is prescribed if the doctor wants to make sure that the intrauterine development of the fetus is correct. To assess the rate of development of the child, the diagnostician measures such indicators as biparietal and fronto-occipital dimensions, head and abdomen circumference, etc. On ultrasound, the specialist will certainly determine the position that the fetus occupies in the womb. In most cases, the baby has already turned upside down, preparing to exit through the birth canal.

Engage in preparation for the upcoming birth: sign up for a school for expectant mothers, do breathing exercises and Kegel exercises daily.
Purchase a maternity bra and a supportive bandage. Refresh your wardrobe, if necessary, by filling your closets with loose and comfortable clothing.
Watch your weight. The addition should occur gradually - no more than 300-400 grams per week.
Communicate with your baby. There are many ways to establish contact: singing songs, talking on any topic, listening to music together, reading fairy tales. It is great if the father of the child also joins the conversation.
Contact a specialist if necessary. Dental problems, hemorrhoids, severe swelling, headache - these are the reasons for making an appointment with a doctor.

Beware of public places during SARS. Colds are not treated quickly and can significantly worsen the condition of an already weakened body.

Menu future mother should be dishes from products containing vitamins and minerals. These include vegetables and fruits, greens, cereals (buckwheat, pearl barley, wheat), milk and sour milk (cottage cheese, yogurt, sour cream, kefir). In addition, a child needs protein for normal development, which is rich in beef, chicken liver, cheese. Very useful sea fish, which contains iodine, phosphorus and fatty acids. To preserve vitamins, it is best to steam food. From drinks it is desirable to use freshly squeezed fruit juices, berry fruit drinks and water without gas (about 1.5 liters per day).

Prohibited foods include sausages, smoked meats, fast food, alcohol, coffee, carbonated drinks. To get rid of heartburn, nausea or vomiting, you need to eat little and fractionally - 4-5 times a day. With frequent indigestion, it is best not to eat before bed and follow a diet.

vitamins

vitamins play essential role in the formation of the child's body and the preservation of the health of the mother. To strengthen bone tissue, the fetus needs calcium and vitamin D, to maintain the integrity of blood vessels - vitamin C. On the basis of iodine, iron and folic acid, the central nervous system and cardiovascular system of the baby develops.

The larger the child becomes, the more he needs nutrients. The task of the doctor monitoring the course of pregnancy is to determine whether a woman needs to prescribe additional pharmacy drugs. Most pregnant women take vitamin complexes at 29 weeks, because the trace elements contained in food are not enough for the fetus.

Physical activity

Dear expectant mothers site! The 29th week of pregnancy is the best time to prepare your body for the upcoming birth. Lightweight is the best way. sports activities: yoga, aqua aerobics, fitness, hiking. Physical activity will undoubtedly give the result:

maintaining the body in good shape;

At 29 weeks, the load should be light and non-intense. You should carefully monitor your well-being. If fatigue and malaise occur, you should skip classes and take a break. For a while, you can replace exercises in the gym with walking. They also give a good healing and soothing effect.

Reviews from the forums:

Alina:

And I would like some advice. I have a baby sitting on the pope, for the last 3-4 weeks. The doctor says that so far there is no reason to worry, because the child “will turn around 10 more times”, but I still worry. Me too pelvic baby Mom had a caesarean section. Can anyone suggest exercises that have helped others, because if I start doing them early, it shouldn't hurt? Or am I wrong?

Maria:

I have a very small stomach, the doctor is very scared that the child is very small. What should I do, I'm worried about the condition of the child.

Oksana:

Girls, I have increased anxiety lately (I don’t know exactly when it started, but now it has become more noticeable). Sometimes there is a feeling that the stomach is hardening. These sensations are not painful and last about 20-30 seconds 6-7 times a day. What could it be? This is bad? Or is it those Braxton Hicks contractions? Something I'm experiencing. I have the end of the 29th week, in general, I do not complain about my health.

Ludmila:

Tomorrow we will already be 29 weeks old, we are already big! We rage more in the evenings, probably, this is one of the most pleasant moments - to feel the baby moving!

I'm on my 29th week! I feel great, but sometimes, when I think about what position I'm in, I can't believe that all this is happening to me. This will be our first child, we are a married couple well over 30 and it’s so scary that everything is fine, and that the baby is healthy! Girls, what do you think, can prepare things for the maternity hospital from the seventh month, because it happens that children are born at seven months! But I don’t know yet what I need to take to the hospital with me, maybe someone will tell me, otherwise I don’t have time to go to courses, although I’m already on maternity leave, but I still go to work! Good luck to all!

Karina:

Here we are at week 29! The weight gain is not small - almost 9 kg! But before pregnancy, I weighed 48 kg! The doctor says that, in principle, this is normal, but you need to eat only healthy food - no buns and cakes, which I am so drawn to.

Fetal development at 29 weeks

In the weeks remaining before the birth, he will have to grow up, and his organs and systems will be fully prepared for life outside of his mother. He is about 32 cm tall and weighs 1.5 kg.

The child's adrenal glands are currently actively producing androgen-like substances (male sex hormone). They travel through the baby's bloodstream and, upon reaching the placenta, are converted into estrogen (in the form of estriol). This is what is believed to stimulate the production of prolactin in your body;
The formation of lobules begins in the liver, as it were, it “hones” its shape and functions. Its cells are arranged in a strict order, characteristic of the structure of a mature organ. They are stacked in rows from the periphery to the center of each lobule, its blood supply is adjusted, and it is increasingly acquiring the functions of the main chemical laboratory of the body;
The formation of the pancreas continues, which already fully supplies the fetus with insulin.

In the third trimester, you just need to get more rest. Wanted to take a nap? Do not deny yourself this pleasure;
If you have sleep disturbances, then before you go to bed, do relaxation exercises. You can also drink herbal tea or a glass of warm milk with honey;
Communicate with other expectant mothers, because you have the same joys and doubts. Perhaps you will make friends, and will communicate after childbirth;
Don't lie on your back for a long time. The uterus presses on the inferior vena cava, which reduces blood flow to the head and heart;
If your feet are too swollen, wear elastic stockings and be sure to tell the doctor about it;
Walk more on fresh air and eat in a balanced way. Remember that babies are born with a bluish tint to their skin precisely because of the lack of oxygen. Take care of it now;

Very often, it is enough just not to get up in bed so that the contractions stop and preterm labor does not occur.

In order to reduce discomfort, it is recommended to monitor the correct posture, as well as eat well (consume less fiber, it causes gas formation);
It's time to buy the first little things for the baby. Choose clothes for a height of 60 cm, and do not forget about caps and bathing accessories: a large towel with a hood and a small one for changing diapers;
And, of course, it's time to think about buying household items: a crib, soft sides for her, a mattress, a blanket, a bath, coasters in her, a changing board or rug, diapers;
And also do not forget to prepare all the necessary things for the hospital.

Most detailed calendar pregnancy by week

What did you feel at 29 weeks? Share with us!

At the 29th week of pregnancy, the belly has already reached an impressive size, which causes great inconvenience to the expectant mother. But the greater the anticipation of a quick meeting with a new family member. Maternity leave will soon come, and work will not distract you from preparing for such a long-awaited meeting. Now the center of the universe will be you and the little miracle within you.

This week of development, the baby has reached 35-37 cm in length, and weighs 1000-1250 grams.

His brain and nervous system continue to actively develop. A huge flow of information comes through the senses: rays of light directed at the stomach will make it turn away in displeasure; he distinguishes different-frequency sounds, and low ones are perceived better than high ones; its receptors are already able to detect taste and smell. The kid not only perceives and differentiates the information coming to him, but also remembers it. Some scientists argue that at this stage of development, the child is able to dream.

The child is left with everything less space, and he does not somersault, as before, and the movement of the limbs is less and less chaotic, he rests more on the walls of the uterus. Hair is already present on the head, and the germinal fluff - lanugo - gradually disappears on the body. Along with this, the amount of original lubricant is also reduced.

The subcutaneous fat layer continues to accumulate, which regulates the heat exchange of the crumbs. The proportion of fat in this period is approximately 4% of total weight body. Accumulations of white fat in the cheeks will greatly help him in the future when sucking at the breast, because. thanks to fat, the necessary negative pressure is created in the oral cavity. And it is these accumulations that give the baby's cheeks a nice swelling.

The swallowing reflex is well developed in this period. The child continues to train him by swallowing amniotic fluid. The digestive system itself is almost ready to accept the first food at birth - mother's milk.

The bone marrow is mature enough to successfully produce blood cells. The blood itself has a constant composition, its cells carry oxygen, the clotting system protects against bleeding, and the cells of the immune system against infections. Ready-made antibodies, designed to fight infectious agents after birth, the child receives from the mother. The heart pumps blood through the body at a frequency of 120-140 beats per minute.

The reproductive system continues to intensively form: in boys, the testicles from the abdominal cavity begin to descend into the scrotum, in girls, the clitoris is not yet covered by the labia minora, and therefore protrudes forward. The kidneys are fully functional, excreting approximately 500 ml of urine per day.

There is already enamel on the teeth, even though the teeth themselves are hidden inside the gums. The skeletal and muscular systems are increasingly strengthened.

Thus, the child every day becomes more and more adapted to a full life outside the mother's body.

29th week of pregnancy: changes in a woman's body

Weight gain by this week of pregnancy is 8.5-11.5 kg. It is necessary to continue to monitor the increase in body weight, it should not exceed 300-400 g per week. A large weight gain can mean not only malnutrition, but also that fluid is retained in the body. Edema can be not only obvious (they can be detected by marks from socks on the legs, or from the watch strap on the hands), but also hidden, which extend to internal organs. In this case, it is necessary to monitor the amount of fluid consumed per day and allocated. And if the volume of urine is less than the liquid drunk, then the kidneys cope worse with the load placed on them and the excess fluid remains in the woman's body. And this can carry a threat not only for the pregnant woman herself, but also for the child. If overweight due to a violation of the diet, then this is fraught with problems. In this case, the fetus will be larger than it should be, and childbirth will be more difficult for both the child and the mother.
A woman at the 29th week of pregnancy does not feel the baby's movements as often as in previous weeks. This, as already mentioned, is associated with an increase in the size of the child and a decrease in space for his activity. But kicks and pokes are now becoming more weighty. The liver and ribs are especially affected, because. the most common head presentation of the child. Sometimes the expectant mother can clearly determine which part of the body he kicks - with his elbow, knee, or head. Do not forget to monitor the number of movements of the child (normally at least 10 movements in 2 hours during the day). If suddenly he began to behave too actively, or, conversely, calmed down for a long time, this is an occasion to consult a gynecologist.
In connection with big belly Increasingly, pregnant women suffer from heartburn. These discomforts can be reduced fractional meals, i.e. eat in small portions, but more often. And exclude physical activity after eating, and even more so the torso. About the reception medications it's better to talk to your doctor.
In the "piggy bank" of unpleasant sensations are also constipation, increased gas formation and frequent urination. They are associated not only with an enlarged uterus and its pressure, but also with a depressing effect on the digestion of progesterone. FROM frequent urination you will have to put up with it for the time being, and getting rid of constipation will help the physical activity of the pregnant woman, the presence of plant foods in the diet and a full drinking regimen.
A frequent occurrence may be dilated veins in the anal region - hemorrhoids. It occurs due to stagnation of blood in the veins as a result of pressure from the enlarged uterus on the pelvic floor. The presence of constipation exacerbates this problem in a delicate area. Hemorrhoids are dangerous with possible bleeding, and complicate the course of childbirth. Therefore, do not delay a visit to the doctor.
Some women at this time report dizziness after they get up from a supine position. It is worth paying attention that it is not recommended to sleep and just lie on your back for a long time. This is fraught with compression of the vena cava, impaired blood flow and a decrease in blood pressure. The result of all of the above can be a loss of consciousness and a fall. And even if you sleep correctly, on your side, you should never get up abruptly.
Due to the fact that the center of gravity is shifted, the woman does not feel as confident when walking as before. You need to be extremely careful not to fall when making a sharp turn or tilt.
Noticeable swelling of the chest. In this case, it often happens that when pressing on the nipple, a small amount of yellowish color liquids. This is colostrum, primary breast milk. But you should not squeeze it out on purpose, you just need to get it wet with a clean napkin, or even better put it in special pads inside the bra.

29th week of pregnancy: pregnant belly

29th week of pregnancy - this is 7 obstetric months (4 weeks in each month) plus 1 week. If you are guided by the usual calendar for everyone, then this is the end of the 7th month of pregnancy.

The bottom of the uterus is located approximately one palm above the navel, i.e. 29-30cm counting from pubic articulation. And visually, the belly of many women is already impressive in size. Some compare it to watermelon. Such a comparison is not without meaning, because. sometimes it is as "striped" as a watermelon because of a dark line in the middle of the abdomen and small stripes, stretch marks, on the sides. And if the pigment line disappears soon after childbirth, then stretch marks may remain. To avoid this, it is recommended to prevent stretch marks with early dates pregnancy, and if they occur, use a special cream and light massage.

Often at this time there is a phenomenon such as hard stomach, and the pregnant woman experiences a feeling of heaviness, tension and fullness. This is how many describe training contractions (Brexton-Hicks) that prepare the uterus for childbirth. The duration of such tension is a few seconds, and then everything returns to its usual state. These training contractions are irregular and painless.

29th week of pregnancy: necessary medical examination

At the appointment with the gynecologist: obligatory measurement of the circumference of the abdomen, the position of the uterine fundus, blood pressure, pulse and weight.
Complete blood count (especially attention is paid to monitoring hemoglobin levels to exclude anemia).
Urinalysis (monitoring of kidney function, exclusion of infections of the urinary system).
A new study can be added - cardiotocography, during which the heart rate (HR) of the fetus and the occurrence of uterine tone are calculated. Using a special remote control, the woman will be asked to note the movements of the child.
According to indications - biochemical analysis blood test, blood test for hormones, sugar.
If necessary, an ultrasound is performed at the 29th week. If additional information is required about the condition of the fetus, placenta, amniotic fluid and cervix, then it is best to obtain them with the help of ultrasound. If desired, you can take a picture of the fetus.

29th week of pregnancy: possible dangers

Despite the fact that most pregnancies end happily, it will be useful to know what dangers the expectant mother may face. It is necessary for a woman to be able to recognize early symptoms and immediately reported them to the doctor.

The threat late miscarriage. This pathology can be suspected when bloody discharge from the genital tract, bleeding and pain in the lower abdomen appear. Nervous shocks, insufficiency of the cervix, changes in the hormonal background of the pregnant woman, and infection contribute to the occurrence.
premature birth. In the presence of regular contractions and the opening of the cervix, we can talk about premature birth. Statistics say that a child born at the 29th week of development survives in 90% of cases with special medical care. But, unfortunately, he is still very premature, which can lead to health problems in the future.
Polyhydramnios (excessive amount of amniotic fluid). Infections, fetal developmental defects, Rh incompatibility can contribute to this pathology. A woman may feel that her stomach is growing too fast, and the skin becomes unnaturally shiny. These manifestations can be accompanied by shortness of breath and increased heartburn. On examination by a gynecologist, the size of the abdomen in a woman with polyhydramnios will not correspond to that prescribed at this time.
Oligohydramnios (not enough amniotic fluid). According to statistics, up to 8% of women in the third trimester experience oligohydramnios. The reason for this may be infections, arterial hypertension, rupture of membranes, obesity, placental insufficiency. You can suspect this problem if, upon examination, the child turns out to be smaller than his size. Accordingly, the size of the abdomen will also be significantly smaller. Ultrasound will help confirm or refute this suspicion. If a this pathology is detected in the third trimester, close monitoring by doctors of the fluid level and the development of the child is required.
Iron-deficiency anemia. It is manifested by pallor of the skin, frequent heartbeat, weakness and increased fatigue. AT general analysis blood markedly reduced levels of hemoglobin and erythrocytes. The danger lies in the fact that in the presence of anemia, there may be serious violations in the development of the fetus. This increases the risk of miscarriage and premature birth. Therefore, it is very important to take a blood test regularly. The diet should contain meat products and offal.
Preeclampsia. Symptoms of this condition are increased blood pressure, swelling and rapid weight gain as a result of fluid retention in the body of a pregnant woman. In the general analysis of urine, protein can be detected. The danger for the child is the deterioration of the blood supply to the placenta, which entails a violation in the development of the fetus. The appearance of these symptoms requires immediate medical attention.
Hypoxia. Is in oxygen starvation fetus. Accompanied by a decrease in blood pressure and dizziness in a pregnant woman. Leads to delay prenatal development baby. The main causes of hypoxia can be: anemia, lung disease, smoking and kidney disease in a pregnant woman, as well as malformations and placental insufficiency of the child. It is very important for expectant mothers to be in the fresh air as much as possible, because. sufficient oxygen supply provides the necessary metabolism in the placenta and reduces the risk of hypoxia.

29th week of pregnancy: the position of the fetus in the uterus

During pregnancy, women often hear the phrase - "the position of the fetus in the uterus", and starting from the 29th week of pregnancy, this phrase is used by doctors more and more often.

The position of the fetus is the ratio of the conditional line of the child, drawn from the back of the head to the coccyx, to the vertical axis of the uterus. Allocate longitudinal, oblique and transverse. And the presentation of the fetus is which part of the child's body is closer to the exit from the woman's pelvis. Distinguish between breech and head presentation.

The most ideal position of the child in childbirth is the head presentation of the occipital type, i.e. when the back of the baby's head is adjacent to the entrance to the small pelvis. This is the most physiological location for the passage of the child through the birth canal. All other positions complicate the process of childbirth, and in difficult situations natural delivery is not possible at all. In such cases, resort to surgical intervention.

With the help of ultrasound it is not difficult to determine the location of the child. And if one of the wrong positions is revealed, then you should not be upset in advance: before the 32nd week, the baby still has time to take the correct position on his own. In such cases, doctors recommend that the pregnant woman resort to special exercises that will help the child turn around.

29th week of pregnancy: expecting twins

For women who expect the birth of two babies at once, pregnancy proceeds a little differently.

difference multiple pregnancy in the fact that in children at the 29th week the respiratory system is slightly better developed. So if they happen to be born early due date, then their chances of survival are much higher. According to statistics, the delivery of twins often occurs at 36-37 weeks of pregnancy. This must be taken into account, and be ready for a trip to the hospital. Starting this week, doctors recommend avoiding any kind of load and lying more, preferably on the left side, to reduce pressure on the vessels.

The changes with the mother are the same as when expecting one baby, however, all manifestations of pregnancy at this time are doubled. Weight gain reaches 10-20 kg, heartburn, swelling, constipation are very disturbing, and the stomach itself seems simply huge. A woman gets tired much more than with a singleton pregnancy. O good rest a pregnant twin can only dream, because babies are twice as strong and bother her more often.

When carrying two children, the risk of arterial hypertension increases, because. the load on the cardiovascular system of a woman is much greater. For the same reason, more often varicose veins limb veins and hemorrhoids.

By this time, the crumbs have almost decided on the position in which they will be born. It often happens that one baby is in an ideal position for birth, but the second is not. That is why twins are more often born by caesarean section. But while the kids still have time to be in correct position. At the 32nd week of pregnancy, the mother will have an ultrasound scan, and it is on its results that they will rely to make a decision on the tactics of childbirth.

Sometimes a future mother, in order to avoid premature birth, is offered to put a suture or a special device on the uterus. They will not allow the uterus to open until at least 36 weeks.

The weight of the children may not be identical, for example, if one weighs 1300g, then the other 1200g. Do not worry, this difference does not mean at all that one develops worse. The difference of 200-300 g is within the normal range.

It is necessary to take into account the increased need for a complete and balanced diet. Often, an additional intake of iron and folic acid preparations, which are prescribed by a doctor, is required.

29th week of pregnancy: nutrition

This week the most important thing is weight control and a balanced wholesome diet. It is necessary to ensure that weight gain does not exceed 50 g per day, or 300-350 g per week.

In particular, it is necessary to monitor the sufficient intake of vitamins and trace elements in the body:

vitamin D and calcium are important for the development of the skeletal system;
vitamin K and iron for hematopoiesis;
vitamin C to strengthen blood vessels;
vitamin E to prevent the threat of premature birth;
iodine and folic acid for the development of the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

Be sure to include protein in your diet, because. it is the main building material of all organs and systems of the baby. Amino acids, which make up the protein, are synthesized in the human body itself. It should be noted that there are essential amino acids, which should only come from outside. Protein-rich foods such as: lean beef, chicken liver, pink salmon, carp, mullet, cheese, milk from 0.1% to 1% fat, hard cheeses.

But various sausages, which contain preservatives and dyes, are best excluded during pregnancy.

For vegetarians, the most valuable foods in obtaining amino acids are green vegetables and herbs. Fruits that are especially rich in proteins include pears, cherries, prunes, persimmons, figs.

Also, do not ignore the grain crops - buckwheat, wheat, millet. In addition to essential amino acids, cereals are rich in iron, zinc, B vitamins and fiber.

The use of vegetables and herbs helps to improve the elasticity of the birth canal and improves bowel function.

Behind exactly 7 months of pregnancy. Now begins the eighth month, the first week of which is the 29th week of pregnancy. You may have calculated that a little less than eight full months have actually passed. But the fact is that each obstetric month consists of exactly 28 days or 4 weeks. Thus, in principle, there are still 3 obstetric months left for childbirth.

fetus at 29 weeks pregnant

However, the baby is already beginning to prepare for the release. The immune system and thermoregulation worked. The blood of the child already has a stable composition, the bone marrow regularly performs its functions.

The digestive system is ready to digest the first real food. The kidneys also do not lag behind: every day they excrete 500 ml of urine into the amniotic fluid. By the way, amniotic fluid enters the child's stomach now not only through the mouth, but also through the nose: mucous plugs have disappeared from the nasal passages.

It's hard to believe, but besides the fact that the child tastes, smells, distinguishes light, hears sounds and feels your mood, he is already able to visually focus on something, his eyes begin to focus!

Outwardly, the child becomes more and more like a newborn: the skin brightens and straightens, the fluff of lanugo disappears, the amount of original lubricant decreases. But subcutaneous fat accumulates more and more: by the end of the term, the baby will have wrinkles on the body and cheeks on the face. The genitals are already sufficiently formed, and you most likely already know the sex of the child, but still they continue to develop.

Now the baby is growing rapidly. His full size at the 29th week of pregnancy it is about 38 cm, the weight reaches and can exceed 1200 g. Muscle tissue and ligaments continue to develop, so the limbs are getting stronger. You may feel it with increased jolts.

Places for somersaults, of course, are getting smaller. Now the child is unlikely to roll over from head to foot, but every movement will be felt by the mother more and more clearly.

Feel

Most likely, at the 29th week of pregnancy, you will already notice that the fetal movements have changed their character: firstly, they have become more distinct, secondly, more tangibly, thirdly, now the baby will kick and push more and more, rather than turn over and all the more tumbling. And all because he has already grown enough for this - there is less and less room for activity.

In this regard, various kinds of troubles will annoy the mother more and more: heartburn, bloating, constipation. Sometimes the stomach propping up under the chest can cause a feeling of lack of air: it's time to start mastering various breathing techniques, if you have not already learned this.

It is not uncommon for expectant mothers to experience a feeling of heat or intense heat in the third trimester. The metabolism is more active, the heart also works with a greater load, sweating increases, so it is possible that now you will have to take a shower more often.

Be careful in your movements. A shifted center of gravity often leads to falls during pregnancy, so do not make sharp turns, tilts and swings.

From the new sensations at the 29th week of pregnancy, a rapid pulse and decreased arterial pressure. In addition, against the background of a reduced level of hemoglobin in the blood, which is often observed in pregnant women at these times, dizziness will begin, even fainting is possible.

If you still haven’t found comfortable positions for sleeping, then use additional pillows and accessories in bed, because you just need to get enough sleep and rest.

Fatigue makes itself felt more and more and is especially felt towards the end of the day. Try to lie down at least a little during the day to rest, and also do not walk a lot, take foot baths, put your feet on a hill during the day and at night. Gradually shift all your household chores to loved ones. And if you feel bad or you are worried about some kind of pain, then do not hesitate to disturb your doctor once again.

pain

The further, the more, perhaps, more or more various pains will annoy. After all, the total weight is increasing all the time, and this is an additional load on the legs, spine and sacrum. Can help wearing prenatal bandage, correct posture and caring attitude. plays an important role comfortable shoes, proper nutrition, weight control - a large number of different factors affect the occurrence of pain.

Legs, for example, can hurt not only from fatigue and weight gain, but also from a lack of calcium in the body. And the head may well hurt due to hunger, although reduced blood pressure and hemoglobin levels also take place. But if the pains are accompanied by strange disturbing symptoms, then you should definitely tell the doctor about them. So, back pain against the background of painful urination can be evidence of genitourinary diseases.

Don't worry if your limbs become numb. The nature of this phenomenon is not fully understood, but it is known that it is transient and harmless. But if they hurt and inflame hemorrhoids(in the anus), then you need to act immediately to prevent the development of hemorrhoids. On the initial stage It usually suffices to adjust the diet.

Do not forget also that there is less and less time left for childbirth, which means it's time to prepare. And your body is already involved in this process: the pelvic bones gradually soften and diverge, which is accompanied by pain in this area. Pain in the pubis and perineum can be a sign of symphysitis - tell your doctor about this, especially if you or your loved ones notice that your gait has become "duck".

But perhaps the most worrying thing is abdominal pain at 29 weeks pregnant. And there can be many reasons for this. The most commonplace is indigestion, but we hope you can distinguish it from other pains. If it pulls or sharply stabs in the side, then most likely these are ligaments or, perhaps, the baby kicked you with his foot. Pain in the lower abdomen, sharp, intensifying or growing, accompanied by other warning signs(bloody discharge, fever).

Belly at 29 weeks pregnant

Pain in the abdomen at the 29th week of pregnancy occurs for a reason - various processes take place there, the most important of which is the growth and development of your child. But besides the fact that the tummy can sometimes ache, with an increase in the term, you will begin to feel a slight itch on the skin of the abdomen. This is caused by stretching of the skin and requires enhanced hydration. An ordinary high-quality cream (which can even be replaced olive oil) will be quite enough, because if stretch marks are destined to be, then special miracle remedies will not help to avoid their appearance. The abdomen may itch due to an allergic reaction to food, synthetic underwear, cosmetics and other irritants. Find the source of the allergy and eliminate its effect.

The reason for excitement can only be a very strong, unbearable itching on the skin of the abdomen, back, arms, legs and chest. But if the tests are normal, then you should not worry.

Rhythmic shuddering in the abdomen occurs when the baby hiccups. Usually, hiccups in the fetus are short-lived.

And do not be disturbed by mild cramping pains in the lower abdomen, which disappear after lying on your side and resting. This uterus begins to prepare for childbirth, practicing training contractions.

Uterus

The uterus at the 29th week of pregnancy rises at the level of 8-10 cm above the navel or 29-30 cm above the pubic joint. It is already quite large and heavy, and you can feel it when you sit or lie down.

In the third trimester, from time to time you may feel rhythmic pains in the lower abdomen. These weak uterine contractions are called training or Braxton-Higgs contractions and are not dangerous. If they make you feel uncomfortable, then try to lie down for a while, preferably on your left side.

If the pain only intensifies and becomes more frequent, then you should immediately go to the hospital. Also, the reason for calling an ambulance should be bloody issues accompanying uterine contractions, or outpouring of amniotic fluid.

Discharge at 29 weeks pregnant

amniotic fluid can leak in small portions or pour out at once, at once with a whole stream. This means that the birth is about to begin and it is impossible to delay sending to the hospital. But even water leakage is dangerous, so the pregnant woman is admitted to the hospital. Amniotic fluid is clear, liquid, normally colorless, odorless or slightly sweet. To make sure that such discharges are or are not water, you can buy a special test at a pharmacy.

If the discharge has changed its consistency or color, then it is better to play it safe and take a swab for infections. bad sign are cheesy, bubbling, with lumps of mucus, yellow, green, gray, purulent discharge, as well as bloody - scarlet, pink, brownish. In the first case, it is most likely sexually transmitted diseases and genital infections. In the second - more likely about placental abruption or the threat of premature birth.

However, blood marks on underwear do not always come from the vagina. With the development of hemorrhoids and the formation of anal fissures, blood may be released from the anus, which women often perceive as a threat to pregnancy.

In addition, you may observe discharge from the chest at 29 weeks of gestation. This is colostrum, and it is absolutely impossible to squeeze it out - just wipe it and get wet.

To reduce the risk of pathological discharge to a minimum, in no case do not change your sexual partner during pregnancy, even if you are sure of his intimate health.

Sex

But a permanent partner must be loved in every sense of the word. If sex at 29 weeks of pregnancy does not bring you any discomfort and is not contraindicated for medical reasons, then there should be no more reason to refuse it. But you still need to be careful: leave uncomfortable positions, deep penetrations and "wild unbridled" sex for the future. Now you will come to the aid of poses of spoons, dogi-style and others, with penetration from behind.

Many future parents are embarrassed by the presence of an unborn baby during intimate moments. For the most part, this applies to fathers. So in vain: it is impossible to harm the baby, being careful, but he is not yet able to spy on you.

Analyzes

So that you are sure that sex is not contraindicated for you at the 29th week of pregnancy, just like there are no other reasons for excitement, visit your gynecologist regularly. At this time, you will have to go to the clinic once every two weeks. During the examination, the doctor will weigh you, measure the main parameters (abdominal circumference, uterine fundus height, blood pressure, pulse). Blood and urine tests that have already become familiar throughout pregnancy should not cause you any surprises by this time. They certainly need to be diligently handed over at the appointed time, because the level of leukocytes, erythrocytes, hemoglobin and other markers reflect the state of pregnancy, the expectant mother and, indirectly, the baby. At the 29th week of pregnancy, blood test values may change according to physiological reasons in particular, it is very likely that the hemoglobin level will be reduced. It is very important that no protein is found in the urine.

According to indications, other tests can be prescribed at the 29th week of pregnancy: for hormones (hCG, progesterone), Rh factor, for sugar.

Most likely, now the planned examination will be limited to standard tests. But, starting from the 30th week of pregnancy, you will have to re-pass the main specialists (therapist, ophthalmologist, cardiologist), take a smear and culture for flora, a blood test for infections. So it is possible that the gynecologist will give you a referral for all these examinations right now.

In addition, he can "assign" you to count the baby's movements. This is necessary to track its successful development.

Ultrasound at 29 weeks pregnant

In addition to tests, the doctor may refer you to an ultrasound scan at 29 weeks of gestation. This will make it possible to make sure that everything is fine with the baby and that he is developing as expected. In addition, ultrasound can be prescribed in some cases when some parameters or data should be clarified. For example, if you have an increased risk of preterm labor, then perhaps the gynecologist will suggest that you put in a pessary, and for this it would not hurt, among other things, to know the length of the cervix.

Ultrasound at the 29th week of pregnancy will show the sex of the unborn child with very high certainty. It will also evaluate motor activity, heart rate, location, basic parameters and their compliance with the deadline. Now your baby's heart is beating 130-140 times per minute.

Food

You are significantly more likely to have a successful pregnancy healthy child, if you will fully and properly eat during pregnancy.

At week 29, the child takes up to 250 mg of calcium from the mother's body daily, and these losses must certainly be replenished. Do not forget that it is best to use vegetable calcium, since the animal can cause early ossification of the skull, which is undesirable when the baby passes through the birth canal.

At the 29th week of pregnancy, the muscle tissue of the fetus develops very actively, so you can’t do without protein. If for some reason you do not eat meat, then compensate for the protein with plant foods.

The appearance of constipation and hemorrhoids can often be avoided by proper nutrition alone. Be sure to eat fiber fresh vegetables and fruits. And to avoid heartburn, break your daily menu into small portions and give up fried foods.

Also minimize the intake of salt (it retains fluid in the body and provokes the appearance of edema), fatty, smoked, spicy foods, starchy foods and sweets. In general, in ancient times, starting from about the 30th week of pregnancy, women fasted. Today it is not at all necessary, but keep the caloric content of the diet under control all the time.

Try to constantly "feed" your hemoglobin. This will be facilitated by the introduction of beets, spinach, oatmeal and buckwheat, liver and tongue into the diet. Remember that chocolate does not save you from anemia, but it leads to weight gain very quickly.

The weight

This is just not desirable. Weight during pregnancy must be controlled to the very end. In the third trimester, your increase should not exceed an average of 50 g per day or 350 g per week, and by week 29 you could gain no more than 11.5 kg from the very beginning of pregnancy. Naturally, options are possible, but they should not differ very much from the established norms. If your parameters have stepped over the permitted line, then, together with your doctor, choose a suitable “diet” for yourself.

Delivery at 29 weeks pregnant

By the expected birth is still quite a long time - 3 months or 12 weeks. But, unfortunately, no one is immune from their premature start, and there can be quite a few reasons for this. Moreover, in some cases, childbirth at 29 weeks of gestation is the best way out of the situation, and the doctor decides not to carry the baby.

Undoubtedly, the more the baby stays in his mother's tummy from the due date, the more he will be ready to meet the outside world. Premature babies require qualified medical care, modern equipment for nursing, considerable Money and a lot of patience, and then attention, warmth and affection. But the most important thing is that a child born at the 29th week of pregnancy is able to survive. After all, his immune system by this time is already functioning. So you should not despair if the birth suddenly occurs at the 29th week of pregnancy. The main thing is that a woman will become a mother, and this special status in life.
