At this stage my baby's lungs and digestive tract are almost fully developed. While baby may soon slow up growing in length, (he measures about 15.7 inches/ 40 centimetres from crown to toe by now), he will continue to gain weight until he's born. This week baby continues to open and shut his eyes. He can probably see what's going on in utero, distinguish light from dark and even track a light source. If you shine a light on your stomach, your baby may move his head to follow the light or even reach out to touch the moving glow. Some researchers think baring your stomach to light stimulates visual development. But don't expect 20/20 vision when your baby is born -- newborns can see a distance of only about 8 to 12 inches/ 20 to 30 centimetres. (Children with normal vision don't reach 20/20 vision until about age 7 to 9.) To complete the picture, baby now has eyebrows and eyelashes.
A pint and a half/ around a litre of amniotic fluid now surrounds the baby but that volume decreases as he gets bigger and has less room in your uterus. As you and the baby continue to grow, don't be alarmed if you feel breathless, as if you can't get enough air; it's just your uterus pressing against your diaphragm. There is a light at the end of the tunnel though. At about 34 weeks (or just before birth, if this is your second or third pregnancy), baby's head will move down into your pelvis as the baby gets into the right position for birth. That will make breathing and eating a lot easier.

Woohooo! Congratulations Madelyn, for your pregnancy and for your lovely blog. I arrived on your blog randomly and I really liked it! Now it's on my favourites list. I'm a mum of a little boy called Marlow and I really enjoy reading other mummy stories on line. Did you already choose the names? I remember I spent a lot of time chilling out choosing my baby names. Here a great link http://www.bounty.com/babynames/ Let us know how it's going!! Jo and her little Marlow
Hi Madz! You're baby is already getting ready to see the world! (Lol)
Exciting! What's the gender?
Always take care!
Congratulations! You did share a lot of information regarding babies 30 weeks old. Thank you for the article. I learned a lot from this post.
Oh Mardz, this is so nice. During pregnancy, it is also good that you buy skin care products to maintain your skin quality. I heard pregnancy triggers skin rashes.
Congrats! Don't forget to buy a nice ceiling lighting for your child's room.
Hello. Just a tip, make sure your baby uses only paraben free products. We can never be too safe, especially when it comes to our kids.
I enjoyed reading your blog. I'll put in a prayer request for your safe delivery. God bless you!
Keep your wedding rings. Hope your child can see the.
I hope your child would love supermario.

Your embryo tells you how it's developing and there are the empty pages you can write down about your feelings. It is a good gift for your grown child. You can order it on Amazon.com
