7 Months Pregnant, Baby Begins in a Position Ready for Birth

In the last trimester of pregnancy, some women will feel shortness of breath due to the increasing size of the uterus. However, this condition will subside after the baby is in a position ready for birth with the head down. Unlike the time of 6 months pregnant, your baby's nutritional needs reach a peak in the third trimester of pregnancy, so mothers need to consume enough nutritious foods that are rich in protein, vitamins, iron, folic acid, and calcium.

How Does Fetal Growth?

At the beginning of this 7-month pregnancy your baby weighs more than 1 kilogram with a length of about 38.6-39 cm. At 29-32 weeks of pregnancy, your baby will become very active. Eventually you will realize the pattern of movement and the times when he is most active. This movement is also useful for detecting whether your baby is healthy or not.

What Changes Happen to Mother's Body?

Your weight gain since early pregnancy until now has been 8.6-11, 3 kg. Some women will experience constipation that causes abdominal pain, hard stools, and irregular bowel movements. Your body produces various hormones that can cause joints to become loose. This condition causes the feet to become bigger so you may need to change shoes to 1 size larger. You will often find it difficult to breathe because the uterus is pressing and increasing fetal weight. However, this condition will subside when the baby is in a position ready for birth with his head down. At the age of 29-32 weeks of pregnancy, some pregnant women often feel cramps especially at night. These conditions make it uncomfortable and cause conditions often difficult to sleep. This is one factor why you can feel more tired. If you experience insomnia that is very disturbing, you should consult a doctor. Colostrum or fluid that starts the release of breast milk may have started to come out of your breast, even though only some women experience it. If you experience it, you can use a pad on the bra to absorb it.
