The pregnancy wheel is rotating in full motion, with the week-by-week guide to pregnancy reaching the 29th week. The child too is in full spirits as she grows up to enter the new world within few days. Every move of the beautiful little one must now be checked and recorded. The kicks and movement of the baby inside you must be noted; if possible using fetal kick counts available in stores. Any change in the activity is an important piece of information, which the practitioner would be definitely interested in. The child is now in a position to regulate her own body temperature and the bone marrow is getting geared to produce the red blood cells. Other vital statistics of the baby refer to a length of fifteen and a half inches and weight corresponding to two and a half pounds.
It is already week 29 pregnancy and you must be thinking of when the baby would actually take birth. By now it must be difficult to work. It is high time that you make appropriate arrangements for the maternity leave to avoid any undesired hassles. Few troubles like heartburn and pregnancy constipation might again bother. Breathing problems plans to stay for the rest of the pregnancy days. Hemorrhoids, due to growing uterus and gas troubles, due to slower digestive cycle and crowding in the abdomen, are other key issues that plan to trouble. Hemorrhoids if itchy can be tackled by applying a hot pad or cold compresses medicated with a little witch hazel on the affected area. The pressure exerted by the uterus on the bladder explains more frequent washroom visits. Another visit to the practitioner another week of the pregnancy trimesters will soon be over.
