Baby now weighs nearly 2 pounds/ 875 grams and measures 14.5 inches/ 36.6 centimetres from head to toe. Her eyes open and close, she sleeps and wakes at regular intervals and she may suck a finger or thumb.
Sweet dreams, little baby! Some experts believe that babies begin to dream by the 28th week. What do they dream about? No one knows for certain but the brain is active this week as well. The characteristic grooves on the brain's surface start to appear and more brain tissue develops.
Chalk up any rhythmic movement you may be feeling to a case of the hiccups, which are common this week and throughout the pregnancy. Your baby has them but is breathing in amniotic fluid rather than air. A paper bag can't cure her hiccups, obviously, but an episode usually lasts only momentarily. The sensation for you may be strange but not unpleasant.
Since your uterus is now up near your rib cage, you may now find yourself short of breath if you haven't already. Starting now and continuing through the last three months of pregnancy, you may be plagued by leg cramps, haemorrhoids, varicose veins and an itchy abdomen.

On 6th december ( my anniversary), I was sleeping during afternoon , when all of a sudden I felt a sudden cramp in my right leg. It was so painful for few minutes then after some time it disappeared. I think so far I have felt 3 leg cramps altogether. Going to work has become very challenging now. I still have to manage 6 weeks before my maternity leave starts. Ponyo is kicking most of the time but she takes a sleep of 2-3 hours in between. My bub has already got a routine :) Can't believe I am in my last trimester already.
