Baby’s Position in the Womb

Hiccupping Baby

It is quite natural that at 27 weeks of gestation, the baby will make repetitive movements inside the belly or better known as the hiccup. Even though he isn’t breathing air yet, but amniotic fluid, he can have sessions of hiccups throughout the day. These sections last a short time, do not be alarmed this is absolutely normal as it is just a workout of your diaphragm .

Your brain at 27 weeks of gestation is well developed and very active by the way. The brain appearance with grooves on the surface begins to become more evident and more brain tissue begins to develop. All the sensory connections in the brain are already connected and activated. The baby is able to dream already at this stage of development!

How is Mom Feeling …

Mom, did you know that organs are reorganized within our body during pregnancy? Yes, to make room for the growth of the uterus, stomach, intestines, kidneys and even the heart undergo changes within the body . They need to work double even if they are pressed against the back or the rib. The organs most required during pregnancy are the lungs and the heart, as they have to provide double oxygenation for mom and baby. That is why it is so difficult to breathe in pregnancy, the body is working at its limit and each time with less space.

Changes in Women

The stomach is compressed and resized, so eating becomes more and more complicated, every little bit fills the capacity. The kidneys dilate and any pre-existing stone gives a sign of life, so it is very common to have a kidney stone during pregnancy. The skin and hair can also look different, in some women they look better and in others they can get drier or more oily. It all depends on how the body reacts with the hormonal change.
