The child
Your baby now measures about 13.4 inches (34 cm) from head to foot and weighs about 2.4 pounds (1.1 kilo) at the start of the week—and about 2.7 pounds (1.23 kilo) at the end of the week. The baby has a good chance of surviving if she is born now.
Research has shown indications that your baby can already start dreaming now.
Mother
You undergo a period of tremendous growth between weeks 28 and 32. Your uterus is continuing to grow, and you may feel pressure up against your ribcage. This sensation can be a bit unpleasant.
Your baby is lively inside you and sometimes disrupts your nighttime sleep. Try putting plenty of pillows between your knees and under your belly to find as relaxing a sleeping position as possible.
Now is a good time to talk with your health care provider about iron supplements. Most women need them from the 27th week of pregnancy.
