**C-section is scheduled for June 12th. I am having a amniocentesis the day before to make sure that her lungs are developed. If they are, then we go ahead with the c-section. If they are not, then we wait 2-3 days and then do the c-section!!
How Far Along: 29 Weeks- 3rd trimester!
Size of baby: Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash)
and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. Her muscles and
lungs are continuing to mature, and her head is growing bigger to make
room for his developing brain. To meet her increasing nutritional
demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and
iron. And because her bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to
drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium,
such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester,
about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening
skeleton each day.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Total weight gain
is about 22 pounds.
Maternity Clothes: Yes
