7th Month: 28 to 31 weeks and 6 days of gestation At 7 months of pregnancy, it is very important to maintain regular prenatal appointments to monitor the baby's development. The diet should be rich in essential nutrients for the baby's growth. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and legumes should include approximately 25% of your meals, consisting of proteins and carbohydrates. Sleep quality is also fundamental. The pregnant woman should be attentive to fetal movements in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and report any changes to her healthcare professional. 28 weeks of pregnancy: The baby's heart rate, which was previously closer to 160 bpm, will now more frequently be between 130-140 bpm. All of your baby's organs are maturing and preparing to function independently from birth. Your baby's skin is beginning to look less wrinkled and more like that of a newborn baby. Your baby weighs approximately 1200 grams and measures 37 cm. 29 weeks of pregnancy: Your baby's primitive memory is beginning to develop. This memory is inherited from our fetal development and is constantly influencing our attitudes and shaping our personality. Eye development is also well advanced, and the baby can differentiate between light and dark. It weighs approximately 1.3 kg and measures 39 cm. 30 weeks of pregnancy: The lungs are the last organs to fully develop, and your baby is practicing breathing most of the time. There's even an ultrasound we request in high-risk pregnancies called a fetal biophysical profile, where one of the criteria evaluated is respiratory movements. Lanugo, the fine hair on the body, continues to fall out, although a third of babies may have some at birth. The baby weighs approximately 1.5 kg and measures approximately 40.5 cm. 31 weeks pregnant: And in the last week of the 7th month of pregnancy, I'll tell you that your baby is developing all five senses. The baby can already taste the amniotic fluid, hear sounds, and grasp things within reach with its little hands and feet. Your baby continues to gain weight, and its face is getting fuller and its skin less wrinkled. The baby weighs an average of 1,700 grams and measures about 41.8 cm. And if you are 7 months pregnant and are a little worried that your baby doesn't weigh exactly as much as I mentioned here, don't worry. I only mentioned the average weight of babies at this gestational age. This will depend on your baby's growth curve, your body type, and the father's as well. At this stage, fetal weight gain increases by about 100-150 grams week by week. One of the main aspects of the 7th month of pregnancy involves the size of the belly. Therefore, you may already be experiencing fatigue and swelling in some areas. Braxton Hicks contractions are becoming more frequent! But there are some other common signs and symptoms: Back pain: One of the common discomforts of the last trimester of pregnancy is this pain. This occurs due to the increased volume of the uterus, due to the baby's growth. As a consequence, there may be an overload on the lumbar region, causing pain in the pregnant woman. It is possible that the spine causes contractures in some muscle groups, causing, for example, lower back pain and sciatica. Insomnia or difficulty sleeping: We can classify insomnia as an accumulation of all the other symptoms. The size of the belly limits sleeping positions, the increased frequency of urination, back pain. All these symptoms influence changes in sleep. Difficulty breathing: Some pregnant women may complain of shortness of breath, in addition to chest pain. Movements become increasingly limited, since the uterus occupies part of the space that was previously occupied by the lungs. This symptom is present until the last weeks of pregnancy, when the baby positions itself head down in the pelvis, in the birthing position. While the baby hasn't yet engaged and relieved your discomfort, try supporting your belly with underwear designed for this purpose.
