30 Weeks Pregnant - Pregnancy Week by Week

Your baby's lungs have developed and when born now, he would be able to breathe independently outside the uterus.

Until now, the surface of your child's brain has been relatively smooth but the characteristic grooves are appearing as brain cells are added. Your baby is rounder, its skin is less wrinkled and the head is covered with hair. He will soon turn himself upside down. Walking around will become more difficult and you tire more quickly. The Braxton-Hicks contractions will get stronger and if you didn't feel them before you will definitely feel them now.

If you haven’t done so, yet, consult your employer and learn about local policies regarding maternity leave.

Don’t run around! Find time for yourself and make preparations for welcoming your baby to the world. You may find that resting, sleeping or even light exercise will keep your energy levels high. Try swimming, walking or exercising. You can try and find your baby’s heartbeat at home without having to go to the doctor’s office. Hold an empty kitchen paper roll to your belly and listen. It may take some time to find the baby’s heartbeat because at first you might confuse it with your own. -
