Since space in your baby's living quarters is now at a premium, you'll be feeling jabs and pokes from elbows and knees, mostly.Īnd they'll be more vigorous and less erratic than before because your baby is stronger and excitedly responding to all sorts of stimuli - movement, sounds, light and that candy bar you ate half an hour ago.
Brown fat is necessary for body temperature regulation, while white fat - the same kind you have - actually serves as an energy source. This white fat, as it's called, is different from the earlier brown fat your developing fetus accumulated. Baby's getting more fat and fewer wrinklesĪs more fat is deposited under the skin surface, his wrinkled skin is smoothing out. In fact, over the next 11 weeks, he'll more than double - or even come close to tripling - his weight. Though he's getting pretty close to his birth length, he still has to chub out a bit. How big is my baby at 29 weeks?Īt 29 weeks pregnant, your baby weighs 2 ½ to 3 pounds now and measures 15 ½ to 16 inches long. Only 2 months left to go! Still have questions? Here's some more information on how weeks, months and trimesters are broken down in pregnancy. If you're 29 weeks pregnant, you're in month 7 of your pregnancy. Once you’ve hit ten, don’t just lie there…take a nap - you’ve earned it. Flutters, rolls, jabs, and hiccups count. Ten movements of any kind in an hour are what you’re looking for.
Just lie down on your left side (after a snack if possible) and start counting. Speaking of kicks, doing a twice-daily kick count is one way to make sure your baby’s on track. And thanks to that energy boost, your baby is mightier than ever - those stronger pokes and kicks prove it.even as your little Rocky or Rockette has less room in your increasingly cramped studio space. Unlike the brown fat he acquired as a fledgling fetus - the kind that was necessary for body temperature regulation - this white fat provides energy as well as girth to your growing baby. Where will all that weight come from? From the new white fat that’s starting to form beneath his skin. By the time the curtain rises on your baby-to-be, he’ll be more than double - and maybe even triple - his weight right now. Not to worry…the big weight gain period is just ahead. But at less than 3 pounds, this kid isn’t going to win any chubby-cheek awards just yet. Your sweet sapling is getting taller by the week, topping 16 inches about now.
