For 30 weeks your baby is growing and developing. Its weight has already reached 1400 g, and some kids weigh even 1700 g. The height is about 38 cm. Despite the fact that the child's skin is still wrinkled, he has enough subcutaneous fat to survive in case of premature birth . He is training his lungs with might and main, inhaling and exhaling an amniotic fluid.
30th week of pregnancy - fetal movement
The wiggling of the fetus at 30 weeks is still quite active, but still in the mother's womb it becomes cramped. Most kids by this time already take the correct position - head previa , their arms crossed on the chest, and the legs are slightly pinched. From time to time a small acrobat kneads in the abdomen of his mother, so that his whole wakeful family can notice. He stretches, turns, straightens his tiny hands and feet. During sleep, he makes grimaces, squeezes the handles into his fists and can shrug his shoulders. Activity of the fetus at the 30th week acquires a certain moderation. Too sharp and active movements should alert the mother. In this case, you need to see a doctor.
Palpitation of the fetus at 30 weeks
Palpitation can tell a lot about the condition of the baby. Normal heartbeat from 120 to 160 strokes. If it is higher or lower than normal, then the baby needs urgent help.
Development and behavior in 30 weeks
At 30 weeks the development of the fetus is still ongoing, but all vital organs are already ready for independent life. He reacts to light and sounds coming from outside. The kid not only hears and sees light, but can turn his head to the outgoing light and sound, and even tries to touch it through the wall of the uterus.
The head of the baby can already be completely covered with hairs, but lanugo, a baby's fluff, began to descend from the baby's calf.
The child had his own rhythm of wakefulness and sleep, and not always this rhythm coincides with the rhythm of the mother.
Most of life in the womb is already behind, and very soon you will meet with your baby.
