week 28 - (june 9)

Your Baby in Week 28 of Pregnancy

Your baby is settling into the proper position for birth, with her head facing downward (toward your body's nearest exit!). Your little work in progress is now about 2.5 pounds and almost 16 inches long. She's busy adding new skills such as blinking to an already impressive repertoire of tricks like coughing, sucking, hiccuping, and taking practice breaths. Your baby's sleep now includes the REM (rapid eye movement) phase — and that means she could be dreaming already (what do you suppose he's dreaming about?).

she continues to kick up a storm with stronger kicks each day. they say activity increases at week 28 and the doctor recommends doing daily fetal kick counts. she needs to kick at least 10 times in a 2 hour period. she is passing that test with flying colors.
