Your baby continues to grow and develop inside of you. Measuring close to 15 1/2 inches long, she weighs about 3 lbs. She now almost fills up your entire uterine cavity, and her arms and legs have grown much plumper, thanks to the continued growth of subcutaneous fat.
By 30 weeks, his eyelids open and close. He will keep his eyes closed for most of the day though. When his eyes are open, he will be able to track light inside of your womb, though his vision isn't “perfect” or 20/20. Lanugo, or fine hair that once covered his body, will start falling off this week.
In the coming weeks, the volume of amniotic fluid in your belly will decrease as your baby continues to gain weight and take up more space.

30 weeks today! Cant wait to meet him. Had our 3D ultrasound and their placing him at about 4.5 lbs. currently. He’s our first and weve been together 21 years, so exciting!
ReplyI’m 30 weeks now, he has already turned and never stops moving. Yesterday I went to Bed Bath & Beyond and bought one of those snoogle “C” shaped body pillows by LeachCo, since his newest favorite activity is doing the Hokie-Pokie in my ribcage between 9-ish pm until somewhere between 2 and 3 am. It works wonders, and I can finally stop staying up until 3 am due to heartburn, back pain and a dancing baby!
ReplyCounting down the weeks, just another 8-10 left. Have 3 girls and finally getting my baby boy, excited beyond words!!!
ReplyOMG !!! I have 9 more weeks to go I’m so so HAPPY also I’m going natural with this child also and congrats to all the moms and new moms ….

Replyhello , what is your due date if u don’t mind me asking ? I see there is someone on here due around the same time as I , my husband and I are having our first boy , how many pounds are they saying she is ?
Reply10 more weeks & they’re getting more and more painful. Started having these horrible sharp jolting back pains and she just gotten like 100x stronger, and active. I literally am like crying in pain and nothing calms her down.
Replyhello , just checking did u have your baby yet ?
ReplyI feel like everything is getting more difficult to do. Now when I drop something on the floor, I look at it for about 5 seconds before picking it up and think, ” Well dangit, now I have to bend over. Where are my telekinesis powers when I need them?!”
ReplyOnly 10 more weeks to go to meet our little girl! Definitely feeling way more uncomfortable this days and having a hard time to sleep but the big day is getting closer every day now yay.
ReplyCan’t wait to introduce our new baby girl to her two brothers! I’m definitely feeling more tired lately and “nesting” is in full effect. The baby shower is around the corner too, then the nursery will be complete!
ReplyI’m so happy 10weeks to go and my little will be here ๐
Reply30 weeks tomorrow, we can’t wait to see our baby girl, but a little worried that I need to repeat my sugar test this week pasting for 10hrs and doo my lab test after drinking this juice from the lab, hopefully everything will be ok especially for the baby…so determined to eat a lot of food to improve my iron deficiency, plus taking the additional pills my OB ordered for me, this pregnancy is so different, but come to think of it every member of my family is waiting for the arrival of my little princess.. Prayer and think positive everyday!!!
ReplyI as well had to take the three hour test because I ended up failing the one hr one. I am a gestational diabetic and I have had it with all of my kids. I am 30 weeks with my third boy. I think you will do great And good luck with everything.
ReplyHi Irza – I believe you’re speaking about your three hour glucose test. One of our bloggers discusses this here: http://www.everydayfamily.com/blog/how-to-pass-your-three-hour-glucose-test/. Hopefully it helps, best wishes for you and baby for the remainder of your pregnancy!
ReplyI’m about to pop and the doctor could not tell me what I am having yet.but what worries me the most is I was told that one or if not both of his legs are shorter than his body length. He said I shouldn’t worry about dwarfism ,as it is not known in my husband’s or my side of are family. Also we are kind of short for are height, but I’m very healthy and my first pregnancy was normal.so what could I make of this, should I be worried for the unexpected or just pray for the best.
ReplyWhere I live, they do a simple lab test to determine the sex of the baby. It can also detect certain illnesses/diseases as well. The test can be performed as early as 9 weeks. And have u not had ultrasounds to determine anything?
ReplyI have a question for you all i am feeling movement and having all of the symptoms of being pregnant i have done home pregnancy test and they have been false i have not had an period at all since August 2013 what should a person do…i am nurvise because i have not had any prenatal care all i have done is take prenatal vitamens
