28 weeks - 84 days to go!
I woke up at 4 o'clock on Monday morning, wondering what the hell had happened to my brain. Why? Because I'd just dreamed that Froglet was being particularly fidgety and flaily, so I popped him out for a little while to let him get it out of his system o.O
He was perfectly formed, but small, and more importantly, 'he' was a 'she'.
In my dream, I remember just looking over at Matt and saying 'gosh, it's a good thing we checked - right, back in we go then' and getting Matt to push the baby back in so that it could finish growing.
I blame hormones...
According to http://www.babycentre.co.uk/
Your baby weighs a little more than 1kg and may measure up to 38cm from top to toe. At about this time, she can open her eyes and turn her head in your uterus (womb) if she notices a continuous, bright light shining from the outside. She's getting used to blinking her eyes, which now have eyelashes.
Her fat layers are continuing to form and her bones are nearly developed, though they are still soft and pliable. Her bones won’t harden properly until after she's born.
You're in the home stretch. The third trimester typically starts this week and lasts until the end of week 39 and sometimes even beyond. (Don't worry – 42 weeks is the maximum! After that, a mum-to-be is usually is induced to give birth.) Most women gain an average of 5kg during this trimester.
You're probably wavering between feeling as if you've been pregnant forever and being nervous about labour and birth. Checking off things on your to-do list can help. Start selecting possible baby names and begin thinking about life after your baby's birth as well.
