Pregnancy Week by Week/Week 29: Bone Development
Week 29: Bone Development
At week 29, your baby's bones are hardening as they absorb more calcium. This development is crucial for their overall growth and future health. You may notice more frequent and sharper kicks and jabs as your baby grows stronger. Your baby is now about the size of a butternut squash.
Your Body During Week 29
During this time, you might experience some common symptoms such as dizziness, heartburn, and round ligament pain. These are signs that your body is working hard to support both you and your growing baby. Some women also develop varicose veins due to increased blood volume and pressure.
Low iron levels can lead to anemia, so it's important to monitor your iron intake and consider supplements if necessary. Slow digestion may cause constipation and gas, which can contribute to discomfort.
