          Your baby’s development

          Here we grow: another growth spurt on the way.

          Even though it’s about 11 weeks before you meet your baby, she/he might be best described as long and strong in week 29. Here’s what’s happening this week:
          Even though it’s about 11 weeks before you meet your baby, she/he might be best described as long and strong in week 29. Here’s what’s happening this week:
          • Your baby probably weighs almost 1.3 kilograms. She/he is about 25 cm long, which is about the length of a large cucumber.
          • She might be within 7.5 cm of her birth length, though she/he is still expected to fill out more.
          • During the next 11 weeks, she might more than double or almost triple her current weight.
          • Her activity may continue to get stronger and more frequent this week. Hold on – some of your baby’s jabs might even take your breath away.

          Your nutrition and health

          Getting the vitamin C your body needs.

          Are you getting enough? You may have seen this a few times during the last few months, but there’s a very good reason. Vitamin C helps your body make the connective tissues that repair and maintain blood vessels. This will be most important when your body begins to repair itself after delivery.
          Are you getting enough? You may have seen this a few times during the last few months, but there’s a very good reason. Vitamin C helps your body make the connective tissues that repair and maintain blood vessels. This will be most important when your body begins to repair itself after delivery.

          Here’s a list of vitamin-rich foods that help you get your recommended 85 mg of vitamin C each day:
          • 1 cup of strawberries (approx. 100 mg)
          • 1 kiwi fruit (64 mg)
          • ½ cup of cooked broccoli (50 mg)
          • ½ cup of cubed cantaloupe melon (30 mg)

          What’s with the bulging or blue veins?

          Have you noticed a change in your veins? If you notice your veins starting to bulge or turn blue, this is a common condition called varicose veins. Your veins are becoming larger to accommodate increased blood flow. Here’s what else you can expect from varicose veins:
          • You may notice veins bulging and becoming bluish or reddish lines beneath the surface of your skin, particularly on your legs and ankles
          • Varicose veins often appear for the first time during pregnancy, usually in the 3rd trimester
          • Varicose veins might be sore or itchy, if either condition persists, let you doctor know

          Breastfeeding Disclaimer 

          Breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. When thinking of using infant formula, a mother should be aware of

          1. the financial and social implications of formula feeding,
          2. the difficulty of reversing the decision not to breastfeed and
          3. the care that must be taken to prevent partial formula feeding from interfering with lactation.

          In addition, proper preparation of powder or concentrated liquid infant formula requires the use of boiled water for the purposes of mixing formula and cleaning implements and the manufacturer’s mixing instructions must always be followed. Improper mixing or preparation may make a baby sick. A healthcare professional should always be consulted before initiating formula feeding.
