Third trimester, 29th week of pregnancy

There comes the 29th week of pregnancy, what happens to the future mother and child at this time, what changes can be observed?

The beginning of the third semester, is characterized by some discomfort associated with the deterioration of the well-being of the future mother. This is explained by the fact that the future child is growing, he needs more space and therefore he stretches the uterus, which, in turn, presses on the internal organs located next to it. In addition, it becomes harder for a woman to wear a growing fetus.

It should be noted that the fetus on the 29th week of pregnancy begins to be actively prepared for birth and independent existence. During this period, the light children were fully formed, they received a fat film, which allows the child to breathe. Therefore, in case of his premature birth, with elementary care, the child will be able to develop normally. The body temperature of the baby practically stabilized, and red blood cells began to be produced in the bone marrow. Moreover, the future child allocates daily to the amniotic fluid a half-liter of urine. A small man has a weight of about 1500 grams and a length of forty centimeters.

The beginning of the third trimester, or the fetus on the 29th week of the woman's pregnancy, is characterized by a significant period of development in the fetus of the nervous system and the brain. The child is already able to receive information from the senses and remember it, to distinguish smells and tastes, is able not only to hear sounds, but also to distinguish them from internal noises. In addition, it can respond to bright light.

We can say that the 29th week of pregnancy becomes a period of active movement of the child, but these movements become somewhat different, the baby starts to push his knees and elbows. This is explained by the fact that the future child grew up, and he became cramped in his mother's uterus. Mama herself can observe and listen to the movements of her baby.

Doctors say that the 29th week of pregnancy is somewhat difficult for a woman, as her weight has increased significantly, and it becomes difficult for her to carry a growing child. Also, the enlarged stomach prevents you from sitting, lying down and even walking. It should be noted that at this stage of pregnancy there is a risk of premature birth. When bloody discharge from the vagina, a small allocation of amniotic fluid, contractions of the uterus, you must immediately go to the gynecologist or call an ambulance.

To ensure that pregnancy at this time was as good as possible for a woman, doctors recommend, firstly, to keep the posture correctly, in order to reduce the burden on the back, perform physical exercises, and also try to rest more.

In the third semester, such phenomena are often observed in a woman as heartburn and constipation. This is due to the increase in progesterone, which relaxes the muscles of the intestine, as well as an increase in the abdominal cavity, which contributes to slowing down the digestive process. Doctors recommend eating a large number of foods rich in fiber, and also drink more liquid and exercise.

When the 29th week of pregnancy came, when visiting a woman's consultation, the gynecologist will offer to take some tests, such as a general blood test, urine, as well as a blood test for syphilis, HIV, a smear on the flora.

Thus, the third trimester of pregnancy presents the woman with minor inconveniences and discomfort. However, if you follow the recommendations of doctors, lead a healthy lifestyle, exercise and have a lot of rest, all these inconveniences can be minimized. A woman during this period can think about how to equip a bedroom for a baby or what things need to have in the house at the time of the birth of the baby.
