Pregnancy Week by Week - A Week by Week Guide of Pregnancy

Week 28 - The Baby Looks Chubbier And Fuller

The little one inside is kicking hard and is gaining fuller looks as he adds on fat in the 28th week of pregnancy. Very much developed, the child looks almost like what he will look like after birth. The features are quite developed at this stage of the pregnancy. Your doctor might now be able to give you indications regarding the child's position in the womb. However, since there is still ample space inside for the baby to shift, he might switch position over the next few days.

By this point, you will feel as if you are dating your practitioner. The visits are more frequent and every development is being carefully gauged. Those moms who are Rh-negative but have Rh-positive partners might go in for Rhogam shots to avoid any birth complications. Other tests like gestational diabetics will likely be performed. Weight, blood pressure counts, the size of child, and tests for infections are all going on in this week and in the remaining days of pregnancy.

A Note For Dads

Your better half is undergoing tremendous physical and psychological pains right now. Shopping for her and the child, arranging for a movie night, spending a quiet evening with her, will all help to cheer her up. Being next to her and taking care in special ways can help deal with the difficult times of pregnancy.
