Week 29 · Third trimester
Week 29, gently.
Your baby is the size of
a butternut squash
- 38.6 cm long
- 1153 g
Your baby has hiccups — you can feel them as rhythmic tiny jumps.
“The tiny rhythmic thump, a hiccup in someone no one has met.”
What’s happening inside
Hiccups — rhythmic, tiny, often lasting 10 to 15 minutes — are common. Muscles and lungs are maturing quickly.
How you might feel
Heartburn and indigestion are common now that your uterus is pressing on everything. Small meals, no lying flat right after eating.
