At 30 weeks pregnant, your little one is growing rapidly, comparable in size to a beet (leaves included). This week marks a significant milestone as you enter the seventh month of your pregnancy, with just two months to go until your baby arrives!
Baby Development at 30 Weeks
Your baby’s brain is experiencing substantial growth, with the surface beginning to develop wrinkles, known as convolutions. These changes allow for increased capacity to hold more brain cells. Additionally, your baby’s hands are now fully formed, complete with growing fingernails. You might even catch a glimpse of your baby grabbing a foot during an ultrasound—a delightful moment!
As your baby continues to grow, space in the womb becomes tighter, but you can still expect to feel daily movements. Keeping track of these movements with kick counts is essential, as it helps ensure that your baby is healthy and active.
Changes in Your Body
As your baby fills out, you may notice that your belly is more pronounced than ever. With this growth, some early pregnancy symptoms may resurface, including frequent urination. It’s a reminder that your body is constantly adapting to support your growing baby.
