You are welcome to the pregnancy stage of third trimester, as this
is the stage where you often experience lack of sleep. If you discovered
yourself are wake up in the middle of the night, you don’t need to stress about
that because it is normal. What you have to do is just stay calm and try doing
something that is soothing and relaxing such as reading books, drink some chamomile
tea, or listen to soothing music before bed.
What
Are The 28 Weeks Pregnant Symptoms?
As your body gets more and more crowded by your growing 28-week
fetus and starts prepping for his or her arrival, you might be noticing some
new pregnancy symptoms.
These symptoms
are common at this stage of week 28 pregnancy:
1. Trouble sleeping.
As you are getting closer
to labor date, you are more likely facing more and more difficulty in getting proper
sleep which could due to pregnancy hormones or nerves cause.
2. Shortness of breath.
Baby will keep growing to
crowd your lungs and diaphragm, which will makes you breathe much harder. So
ensure to allow yourself to keep calm & not pushes yourself too hard
working on something.
3. Aches and pains.
The third trimester stage
can be really uncomfortable due to hormone fluctuations, so do light exercise
such as yoga, stretch, swim, walk, and/or get a prenatal massage to relieve
aches and pains.
Try wearing a maternity
support belt if you’re on your feet a lot to relieve some of the pressure
that’s making you so achy. You can find the maternity support belt here that I
have been using.
4. Braxton Hicks
contractions.
These pregnancy
contractions might be getting stronger and even more noticeable, or as frequent
as your body gets ready for labor sooner. So make sure to aware that the contractions
are only occasional but if they’re going regular and continue to get closer together,
you could be in preterm labor and necessary to call the obstetrician
immediately.
5. Milk
leaking.
Pregnancy breasts or
yours may already be producing baby's milk, firstly that can be a yellowish
substance called colostrum which might indeed come out before baby does!
What Is The Size Of My Baby In Pregnancy Week 28?
Your baby size can now be resembled with the size of an eggplant.
This week 28 is also the 6th month of pregnancy.
Because your baby had put on layers of fat starting last week, now your baby is measure at about 14.8 inches (37.5 cm) from head to toe and weighing at around 2.2 pounds (1kg).
What Is
The Weight Of My 28 Weeks Pregnant Belly?
Your obstetrician will perhaps measure your 28 weeks pregnant
belly at your prenatal appointment.
In this week 28, the fundal height will measured from the
distance of your pubic bone to the top of your uterus and that should be around
10.2 to 11.8inch (26 to 30cm) as a normal range reassurance healthy baby growth
on track in the right position, breech or sideways position pregnancy may also
be consideration affecting the measurement fundal as mentioned.
Yet for women who are 28 weeks pregnant with twins is on
opposite where their fundal height usually will not be measured because it is harder
for doctors to estimate the fundal height especially for twin pregnancies.
Doctors suggest you to start taking notes on and record how many times your baby kick counts at 28 weeks. You will also be taking note by recording on how often baby’s moving and whether his or her movements are consistent from day to day.
How To
Count Baby Kicks?
Choose a time of day and set a timer to see how long it takes to
get from 10 fetal movements, because normally it should be less than 2 hours
with 10 fetal movements.
You should repeat the counts by the next day at the same
approximate time, do the same thing.
Be sure to record the times each day, and you’ll start to find
an average range for your baby.
This is a very great reassurance to determine your baby boy or
girl is doing well inside there. If you noticed anything seems inconsistent, inform
your doctor immediately.

Would 28
Weeks Pregnant Get To Test For Ultrasound?
As you baby is now starting to grow more fats, the wrinkle skin
previously without fat is now is starting to look much smoother. You baby is
now amazingly keep practicing breathing where lungs are mature enough that even
if baby is born now, will still probably survive in outside environment. Your
baby is now growing bigger and smarter, so in overview he or she will roughly just
need a few more finishing touches before is ready to meet you.
As you are in your 28 weeks pregnancy, you’ll start visiting your
obstetrician 2 times a month or every two weeks. If your pregnancy is not complicated,
you will not get a 28-week ultrasound at this appointment because only
complicated pregnancy will get more ultrasound.
We all know you as a new mom who would love probably to peek
inside that 28 weeks pregnant belly, which it is simply not necessary unless
the doctor has a reason to monitor you extra carefully.
