It's slowly becoming tiring

How is your baby growing?

At 29 weeks of pregnancy, your baby's little body is almost ready. Various functions are now being perfected, especially the nervous system. In addition, antibodies are now being exchanged between you and your baby. This is very important for your baby's immune protection.  

How is your belly growing?

At 29 weeks of pregnancy, you will occasionally feel preparatory contractions. Your body is now rapidly preparing for childbirth.  

Your belly has now reached a size that is beginning to affect you physically: on the one hand, the baby and the uterus are pressing on your intestines and stomach, so it is advisable to eat only small portions. On the other hand, you are no longer as resilient as you were before pregnancy and your concentration is decreasing again. Take care of yourself and your baby.  

What makes you grow as a family?

The last trimester of pregnancy is usually exhausting for you as an expectant mother. Take breaks, relax.

Since life after childbirth will be hectic at first, think together with your partner about how you can simplify your life.

A tip from mom Anna  

I learned to appreciate the dryer. With a child, you have to wash so many clothes that a dryer is simply useful. It saves you a lot of time because you don't have to hang all the little onesies, socks, and other clothes on the line.

You can also start thinking about parental leave now. If your partner wants to take parental leave after the birth of your baby, they must submit an application seven weeks before the start of the leave. This page summarizes everything you need to know about parental leave.

If you become parents without being married, you can already take care of the recognition of paternity and joint custody. If you submit the acknowledgment of paternity before the birth, the father can be entered directly on the birth certificate. The acknowledgment of paternity must be submitted by the father to the youth welfare office or the registry office. If you want joint custody, you must submit a joint custody declaration, for example to the youth welfare office or a notary.
