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.
