Congratulations, you’ve reached 28 weeks of pregnancy! This marks the beginning of your third trimester, a significant milestone in your journey. While you may be excited, you might also be dealing with some common discomforts like back pain and sciatica. However, you’re now in the seventh month of pregnancy, which is an accomplishment in itself!
Your Baby’s Development at 28 Weeks
At this stage, your little one is developing rapidly. Did you know your baby can now experience REM (rapid eye movement) sleep? This means your baby is likely dreaming! Their eyes, previously shut tight, can now open and close, complete with fluttering eyelashes. Interestingly, fetuses at this age often stick out their tongues, possibly tasting the amniotic fluid surrounding them.
If you’re curious about how far along you are, being 28 weeks pregnant means you are officially in month 7—only two months to go until you meet your little one!
Body Changes and Common Symptoms
As your body adapts to the growing baby, you might notice some changes. Common symptoms at this stage include increased fatigue, back pain, and sometimes even mood swings. Staying active and practicing relaxation techniques can be beneficial. You might find helpful tips on wellness routines in our blog post here.
