Your uterus is well above your navel and your baby is gaining weight. Your Baby Your baby’s body is preparing for life outside the womb – fat continues to build and the baby is becoming more and more sensitive to sound, light and taste. Some research points to the baby being able to sense smell as well. The position is still head up, even though you may feel as if the baby is doing flips. The baby’s size this week is approximately 15 inches and 2.5 pounds. Changes in your Body Blood pressure may rise slightly at this time and onwards. If you experience severe swelling in areas such as your ankles, feet or hands, or if you have strong headaches or blurred vision, contact your healthcare provider as these may be symptoms of a serious condition. This week your uterus will rise to about 3.7 inches above your navel. Further reading< Pregnancy week 28 Pregnancy week 30 > More From SheKnows ExplorerComments (5)

I reall agree with briana and jessi.i am a diabetic so u know what that means? BIG BABY!!!at 24 weeks my baby was already almost 3 lb. but they say it should be at 2.5 when ur 29 weeks. ITs hard to breath. half the night i'm up looking at my boyfriend wishing he was in my shoes... lol! my ankles looks like hamhocks already. my nose looks like some one punched me in it. I"M top heavy so between the baby and my breast it feels like my lower back is about to break. but hey i looke at the bright side it will all be over soon. yayy! :[
almost there written by Kimberly Ross, March 09, 2009
i had a ultrasound at 28 weeks which i am just now 29 weeks and at 28 weeks she weighed 2.15 omg i am nervous now and her head was 23 cm. i go to the cardiologist... and i have sleep problems too ... i keep a pillow between my legs and icepacks on my feet when i'm laying down and i sleep on my left side it was hard getting adjusted. i have also found that when i'm having a really hard time breathing i will have my fiance massage my back for a lil bit and then i dont' lay on it anymore after that i drink some water and then lay on my LEFT side we listen to spa tunes on SIRIUS when he massages me and by the time hes done i just roll over to my side and pass out. i sleep better on those nights only waking once and i'm able to fall right back to sleep usually. also i get a really dry mouth at night and i have noticed that cold apple juice in the middle of the night helps out SO MUCH... ice packs on your ankle helps with the RLS... GOOD LUCK everyone we are almost there!!!!!!
