Week 30

My Baby's Development

By week 30, your baby is now weighing about 3 pounds (1,400g) and measuring about 10.8 inches (27cm) from crown to rump. It continues to gain weight and layers of fat. The fat makes the baby look less wrinkly and helps provide warmth after birth.
In preparation for respiration after birth, your baby will mimic breathing movements by moving the diaphragm repeatedly. Your baby can even get the hiccups, which you may feel like rhythmic twitches in your uterus as well

My Body

Constipation is a common complaint of pregnant women. The pregnancy hormones which allow you to maintain the pregnancy also slow down your digestive process considerably. Regular exercises and eat foods with high fiber (such as vegetables and whole grains) are great ways to keep everything regular.
