Weekly Pregnancy Guide - Week 30
 
Baby
Mother
Weight: 2.87 lbs 1303g
Length (CHL): 15.34" 39.0cm
Heart rate : 140 bpm
Your baby looks less and less wrinkly as layers of fat continue to accumulate.
The eyes are now far more active, especially in observing light sources, and the eyelids frequently open and close. They may even produce tears!
Your baby is also much more aware of the surroundings in the form of sound, taste, and smell.
Lanugo (fine hair that protects the skin from the water in the womb) starts to disappear.
The head is getting larger as brain growth continues.
Your abdomen may be aching more and more often now as your uterus continues to stretch.
As the strain on your body increases, remember that a good posture will help to decrease the strain body, and that exercise (like walking, swimming, yoga) will help improve blood circulation and improve your general well being.
If you experience sudden weight gain, headaches, or changes in vision, let your doctor know. These could be signs of a dangerous condition called pre-eclampsia.
