As you reach 29 weeks in your pregnancy journey, your baby is now comparable in size to a head of cauliflower. At this stage, they measure approximately 15.5 to 16 inches long and weigh between 2.5 to 3 pounds. With just 11 weeks to go, excitement is building!
At this point, it’s a good idea to start monitoring your baby’s movements by performing daily kick counts once or even twice each day. Although space is getting limited in your womb, you should still feel your little one moving and squirming regularly. If you notice any significant changes in the frequency of those movements, don’t hesitate to contact your healthcare provider right away.
In terms of physical changes, you might observe varicose veins appearing and notice that your nails are growing at an accelerated pace.
