What's Happening With Your Baby
Muscles and lungs continue to mature. The bones are hardening fully and taking in around 250 mg of calcium a day. Space is tight now, so movements feel more like pushes and rolls than kicks.
What's Changing For You
Haemorrhoids, varicose veins and constipation can become more uncomfortable. Sleep is broken.
To Do This Week
Increase your calcium: dairy, leafy greens, sesame.
Don't neglect the fibre-water-movement trio for constipation.
Plan your postpartum support now: who is coming to help, and when?
Frequently Asked Questions
How many months is 29 weeks pregnant?
Week 29 of pregnancy falls in month 7 and in the third trimester. Pregnancy months don't run in neat four-week blocks, so the week-to-month conversion rarely lands on a whole number — which is why pregnancy is tracked in weeks.
How big is the baby at 29 weeks?
At 29 weeks your baby is roughly the size of a pumpkin: around 38.6 cm long and 1153 grams. These are averages; clear variation between babies is normal, and what matters is the growth curve your doctor is tracking.
How long is left at 29 weeks pregnant?
Assuming a 40-week pregnancy, you have around 11 weeks left at week 29. Most births happen between weeks 37 and 42, so a due date is a range rather than a fixed day.
What should I watch out for at 29 weeks?
Increase your calcium: dairy, leafy greens, sesame. Don't neglect the fibre-water-movement trio for constipation. Plan your postpartum support now: who is coming to help, and when?

When To Seek Care Immediately
Whatever week you are in, contact your doctor or the nearest health facility without waiting if you have: vaginal bleeding or fluid loss, severe persistent abdominal pain, a severe headache, blurred vision or flashing lights, sudden swelling of the hands or face, a fever above 38 °C, burning on urination with fever, persistent vomiting, fainting, or — after week 28 — a clear reduction in your baby's movements. In these situations reach real medical care rather than an app or a web search.
