My Body in the 30th Week

Trimester 3 of your pregnancy

You may already feel quite large, even though you still have about 10 weeks to go before delivery. At this point, you'll be gaining about 0.45 kg a week. The average healthy gain during pregnancy is about 11.4 to 15.9 kg. The uterus, baby, placenta, and amniotic fluid will account for about half of your weight gain. The rest goes to your breasts, body fluids, blood, and maternal nutrient stores.
 

My Baby in the 30th Week

Baby now weighs almost 1.4 kg. Although her length won't increase much more while she's in your womb, she will continue to add fat and gain weight rapidly during the next few weeks. Her brain continues to grow; and it will continue to make connections between its cells over the next several weeks.
