27 weeks - into the third trimester!
Oh bloody hell. I'm into the last three months of this pregnancy. Where the hell have the last 18 weeks gone?!The fabulous thing about this is, of course, that I'll be finishing work and starting my maternity leave soon. I actually cannot wait.
People keep saying things like 'won't you be bored?' to me.
No. No I won't. I'm not counting down in hours yet, but I do happen to know that I have 18 working days left and I'm not feeling even slightly distressed about the idea of being able to get up after 5.45am!
And I'm also looking forward to having more time to devote to sitting in gormless reverie watching my belly jump as Froglet kicks me...
According to http://www.babycentre.co.uk/ :
Your baby now weighs nearly 875g and will probably measures more than 36cm from head to toe. His eyes open and close, he sleeps and wakes at regular intervals and he may suck a finger or thumb.
Sweet dreams, little baby! Some experts believe that babies begin to dream by week 27. What do they dream about? No one knows for sure but your baby's brain is certainly active now. The characteristic grooves on his brain's surface is starting to appear and more brain tissue is developing.
You may be detecting rhythmic movements, which is simply your baby having an attack of the hiccups. They are common this week and throughout your pregnancy. A spell of hiccups usually passes in moments. The sensation for you may be strange, but rather comforting.
Since your uterus (womb) is now up near your rib cage, you may now find yourself short of breath if you haven't already. Starting now and continuing through the last three months of pregnancy, you may be plagued by leg cramps, haemorrhoids, varicose veins and an itchy belly. Are pregnancy discomforts getting you down? Try some natural remedies to perk you up.
If a blood test for your rhesus status found you to be rhesus negative (RhD negative) earlier in pregnancy, you'll probably be tested for antibodies this week or next. These may be present in your blood if your baby is RhD positive, and you'll have what's called an anti-D injection to combat the incompatibility. You may be offered a repeat injection at 34 weeks.
