Week 27

Your baby weighs over 2 pounds and is about 9.5 inches from crown to rump.  You are now in the third trimester! You are 2/3 of the way through your pregnancy. Your baby is getting more plump everyday and his eyebrows and eyelashes may be present by now. You will probably be feeling regular movement by now. Its important after the 28th week to feel a bit of movement everyday. The best way to check for fetal movement is to have a snack or a glass of juice and lay down on your side some place quiet. Often when we are busy and moving around alot the baby is rocked soundly to sleep and no movement will be felt. Also, if you are busy during the day you may not notice movement as much as you would sitting or laying down. Every baby is different though and they all have thier active and quiet days. Do not be alarmed if some days, baby seems more active than others.
