In the seventh month, the baby’s organs mature and its movements become more pronounced:
Week 25: The baby is now about 35 cm long and weighs around 660 grams. The baby’s skin is still wrinkled but has started to smooth out.
Week 26: The baby begins to open and close its eyes. While its vision is still developing, it can now sense light and dark.
Week 27: The baby has more developed brain activity. By now, the baby is growing rapidly and is roughly 36 cm long.
Week 28: The baby is now considered viable, meaning it could survive outside the womb with medical assistance if born prematurely. The baby weighs about 1 kg.
Your body is continuing to change as pregnancy progresses:
Increased Baby Movement: The baby’s movements will be more distinct and noticeable.
Heartburn and Indigestion: As your uterus grows, it pushes against your stomach, which can lead to acid reflux and heartburn.
Shortness of Breath: As the uterus expands, it can press against your diaphragm, making it harder to take deep breaths.
Back and Hip Pain: With the increasing weight, many women begin experiencing more discomfort in the back and hips.
Birth takes a woman’s deepest fears about herself and shows her that she is stronger than them
Regular check-ups now become more focused on labor preparation:
Ultrasound: A growth ultrasound may be conducted to monitor the baby’s size and positioning.
Monitor for Preterm Labor: Your doctor will check for signs of preterm labor and educate you on warning signs.
Vaccines: Some doctors may offer the flu shot or whooping cough vaccine to protect both you and the baby.
