Your Body at Week 28

You have probably noticed by now, that your breasts are starting to feel fuller. You might have more pronounced veins on your breasts and that your nipples and areola continue to darken.

You may have even noticed that your breasts have started to leak. This is not your baby’s milk just yet, but it is colostrum. Colostrum is what your baby will feed off for the first few days after they arrive. It holds all the nutritional needs that your baby needs at that time, whilst you wait for your milk to come through.

Your Baby At Week 28 

It’s all very exciting times ahead. Your baby’s heartbeat can now be heard through just a stethoscope, meaning you could listen to it anytime you wanted to. Your baby can also now regulate their own body temperature which is an essential development for life after birth. 

Week 28 TODO's

  1. Discuss with your doctor about receiving the flu shot.
  2. Start researching for a perfect car seat for your little one, that is safe and comfortable for them.
  3. If you are experiencing shortness of breath, try practising some breathing techniques to help you catch your breath.
  4. Putting your feet up in this trimester is a must, you have to remember you a growing a baby inside that bump of yours.
