Congratulations, mama! You've officially hit the 28-week mark – that's the start of your third trimester! Things are really heating up now. Your little one is about the size of an eggplant, weighing in around 2.5 pounds and getting stronger by the day. Expect to feel more pronounced movements, kicks, and maybe even some hiccups!
What else can you expect this week? You might be experiencing more frequent bathroom trips (baby's putting pressure on your bladder!), heartburn, and those delightful pregnancy cravings. Anemia can be a concern, so keep up with your iron-rich diet and supplements. Talk to your doctor about any swelling, severe headaches, or vision changes, as these could be signs of pre-eclampsia.
This is also a great time to start thinking seriously about your birth plan and packing your hospital bag. Take a childbirth education class if you haven't already. You're in the home stretch – get ready to meet your little one soon!
