28 weeks

Wow this is the last week of my second trimester.
Only 12 weeks to go now.
I have been a little unwell the last week I think I have overdone it a few times. I forget I can't do everything I used to do I need to rest more often.
My blood pressure was really high last Thursday but I had been really unwell the night before.
I go to the hospital this Wednesday and then back on Friday for ultrasound.
This visit is for the Anti D (hopefully)

Week Twenty-Eight
  • Eyebrows and eyelashes are now very noticeable!
  • Hair on baby's head is growing longer. Some babies are born with almost none at all, while others appear to be ready for their first haircut!
  • Eyes are completely formed now. Quite a view from inside!
  • Your baby's body is getting plump and rounded. Most of that increase is muscle tissue and bone. Fat will be added during the third trimester.
  • Muscle tone is improving. Preparation for the Olympics feels like it is taking place in your womb!
  • Lungs are capable of breathing now (but baby would still struggle and require medical attention if born now)
  • Talk to your baby often, reading stories, singing songs and more. He or she can recognize your voice now and will often calm to it later on!
  • Your baby weighs in now at 2.2 pounds (1005gm) and is 14.8 inches (37.6cm).
