30 Weeks of Gestation

At 30 weeks of gestation, your baby can now weigh about 1,700 to 2 kg! How big he is and his fetal development is impressive. It’s getting fatter and fatter, but it’s only about 2% of its weight in fat. It measures about 39.9 cm and is very active. Be sure to talk to the baby, he listens and the sound of your voice is very good for him, soothes and soothes him.

Baby Development

In the 30 weeks of pregnancy, the baby’s development is marked by the evolution of his eye sensitivity. It is now possible to respond to the stimuli of lights thrown under the belly and differentiate the lighting when light or dark. Your body and limbs, which are already fully formed, developed and very chubby, now have toenails.

At 30 weeks of pregnancy the baby still doesn’t have full control over his hands, but he is able to hold the umbilical cord and pull his hair when he finds it. In this stage the baby is sharing space with about 1 liter of amniotic fluid that is extremely important for its survival in the womb. This liquid will naturally reduce following the baby’s growth, but will be monitored by ultrasound requested by the obstetrician.

Your lungs as well as your respiratory and digestive systems are now ready to work. From the 30th week of gestation, now your growth will be slower and the focus is to gain weight and this will be very fast until birth. His skin is already smooth and pink due to the accumulation of fat that he already has under the skin. It is possible that you feel the movements become slower, but do not worry, it is normal, this is due to the little space that the baby starts to have with his growth.

How is Mom Feeling …

Feeling heavier? How many pounds have you gained so far? The normal and most suitable is to gain 9 to 12 kilos during pregnancy, do not overdo it, but also allow yourself some food luxuries during pregnancy. Throughout the 30 weeks of gestation, mom always needs to eat well every 3 hours.

From the 30th week onwards, consultations should be every two weeks and no longer monthly as before. In some cases the doctor requests weekly consultations, but this will depend on the state of health of the mother and baby.

Your belly is already very large and heavy and this causes a lot of tiredness and indisposition. Your mood, which had stabilized, returns to being a nuisance since there are moments of sadness that invade you for no reason.

Try not to charge yourself too much, rest whenever you can and take care of yourself. Spending a day at the beauty salon taking care of your nails, hair and skin can be a good option to feel better and more woman. Do not forget that even pregnant you can keep your beauty and self-esteem high.

At 30 weeks of gestation, a new symptom may start knocking at your door, the difficulty in breathing. This is a result of the weight of the uterus pressing on the diaphragm, but in a few days it will ease as the baby goes down and fits in the hip, breathing is normalized. Hold on, there is little left now !!

External factors…

Are the clothes getting tighter and tighter and nothing looks good? This makes you not even want to leave the house and you are even more irritated. Try to wear more comfortable clothes and not worry so much about it, after all the pregnancy is almost over and soon everything will be back to normal or almost that.
