29 weeks

we had the best ultrasound last week it was at the hospital the tech decribed everything to us.
I had to have this ultrasound as they were worried baby would be small.
Melody was 29 weeks by her leg measurement.
32 weeks head and 31 stomach so she is fine and healthy.
So everything seems to be fine.
Also dicussed the birth plan and had the anti d shot as well.

Week Twenty-Nine
  • Your baby's head is in proportion with body now. She appears more like a newborn each and every day!
  • Fat continues to accumulate under the skin -- only now preparing for entering the *real world*.
  • Your baby's brain can control primitive breathing and body temperatures.
  • Her eyes can move in their sockets. Soon she will be able to follow a blinking light.
  • Your baby is increasingly sensitive to changes in light, sound, taste, and smell! Various studies show that your baby may indicate preferences (or disdain) for particular tastes or odors at this stage
  • She is also moving from side to side, but probably still is head up. In the next few weeks, she will move to the head down birthing position. At times you may feel as if she is performing somersaults for a circus act!
  • Her length is now approximately 15.2 inches (38.6cm) and weight is 2.54 pounds (1153gm)
