Your Baby in week 30
Your Baby in week 30:
Now weighing about 3 pounds (1,400 grams)
and measuring about 10.8 inches (27 cm) from
crown to rump, your baby continues to gain
weight and layers of fat. This fat makes the
baby look less wrinkly and will help provide warmth after birth.
In preparation for respiration after birth,
your baby will mimic breathing movements by
repeatedly moving the diaphragm. Your baby
can even get the hiccups, which you may feel
as rhythmic twitches in your uterus.
What's going on with You:
Constipation is a common complaint of pregnancy.
The pregnancy hormones that allow you to
maintain your pregnancy also slow the
digestive process considerably. Exercising
regularly and eating foods high in fiber,
such as vegetables and whole grains, are
great ways to keep everything regular.
