Overview
Congratulations -- you're on week 30!
Physical Changes
Your uterus is about four inches above your navel and it's hard to believe you still have about 10 weeks to go. You may be feeling more discomfort and heaviness in your pelvis and abdomen. You'll probably be gaining about a pound a week Emotional Feelings
You are 3 quarters of the way there! Feelings of anxiety to complete joy are all very common from this point on. About Baby
Your baby measures about 17 inches from head to toe and weighs about 3 pounds. Baby is growing plumper and beginning to control its own body temperature. Eyebrows and eyelashes are fully developed, and hair on the head is getting thicker. Head and body are now proportioned like a newborn's. Hands are now fully formed and fingernails are growing. Things To Consider
Your blood pressure typically may rise a little around the seventh month, but contact your practitioner if you get severe headaches, blurred vision or severe swelling of hands, feet or ankles, or if you experience severe weight gain. These symptoms could signal the beginning of preeclampsia, a dangerous condition marked by high blood pressure and high levels of protein in the urine during pregnancy.
