What typically happens at 29 weeks
The baby’s movements may feel stronger but more cramped as space decreases.
The third trimester is about growth and getting ready for birth. Appointments usually become more frequent, and it is a good time to think about your birth preferences and practical preparations. Full term starts at 39 weeks — 10 weeks from week 29.
Every pregnancy is different, and the timing of tests and appointments depends on your healthcare provider and country. If something worries you — for example bleeding, severe pain, fluid leaking or, later in pregnancy, a change in your baby’s movements — contact your midwife, doctor or maternity unit straight away.
