What's happening at 29 weeks

Baby's bones are fully developed but still soft. Muscle and lung development is the focus now.

What your baby is doing

Baby is gaining weight fast — about half a pound a week from here on. They're getting cramped, so kicks feel sharper now.

What's happening to you

Heartburn that won't quit. Hemorrhoids unfortunately common. Hospital tour and birth plan conversation often happen around now.

On the heartbeat

Position matters — try lying on your left side, phone slightly to the right of belly button. Baby is bigger so finding their back gives the cleanest sound.
