29 Weeks Pregnant - What to expect during the 29th week
At 29 weeks pregnant you are approaching the last quarter of the race. Though you are in your third trimester, your baby and body still have many changes, growth and development to accomplish. During pregnancy week 29 many women discover new sources of discomfort and/or concern. We will discuss these symptoms and signs as we go forward.
For many women pregnancy week 29 is when the back pain starts or gets more severe. In order to stand up straight you use muscles, including muscles in your stomach. Why is this happening? It could be because of the pressure that the growing baby inside your belly is putting on your spine. You may also notice that you are starting to do the "pregnant waddle" when you walk, if you haven't started already.
