Pregnancy Week 31 ~
It is now 30 weeks from
your last menstrual period. Your baby is now at 28 weeks gestation
and is almost 10 3/4 inches long from crown to rump (14 inches from
head to toe) and weighs about 3 pounds.
Your baby's fingernails
have now grown out to the tips of the fingers. Most babies need
their nails trimmed soon after birth. While some moms use baby nail
trimmers, other moms prefer to bite off their baby's nails.
By using their hands on
your belly, your doctor will likely be able to pinpoint the location
of your baby's head, back, and buttocks for you. Ask about this
at your next visit.
Your baby's skin is slightly
wrinkled and the eyes are wide open now.
Advice
for Mom
Vaginal itching may be a sign of a yeast or other infection. Discuss
any symptoms with your doctor as soon as possible. Do not administer
any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Absentminded? You are definitely
not alone! It's just one of those normal occurrences in pregnancy.
