29 Weeks Pregnant? Here’s What No One Tells You (But You Need to Know!)

You’ve made it to 29 weeks pregnant—cue the applause! 👏🏽
But while you’re busy being told to “rest” and “nest,” there are some real changes happening in your body and brain right now that no one’s talking about. Let’s fix that.

🤯 Baby’s Brain = Major Growth Mode

By week 29, your baby’s brain is developing rapidly. Think: folds forming, temperature regulation kicking in, and stronger muscle control. This is why those kicks suddenly feel...wild.

💡 Pro Tip: Start noticing patterns, not just how often the baby kicks. You’ll thank yourself later when monitoring movement becomes more important.

⚡️ Lightning Crotch is a Thing

That sudden zapping feeling in your pelvis? Totally normal. Baby’s dropping lower and irritating some nerves in the process.

🔥 Quick Relief Ideas:

• Prenatal yoga

• Gentle pelvic tilts

• Warm compress on your lower pelvis

🧠 Wait… Why Can’t I Think Straight?

“Pregnancy brain” is real, but it’s not about being forgetful—it’s about maternal brain plasticity. Your brain is rewiring so you can better respond to your baby.

✨ Reminder: You’re not losing it—you’re transforming. Be kind to yourself and build in rest + routine.

🚨 Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore at 29 Weeks:

• Severe swelling in hands or face

• Blurry vision or sharp headaches

• Vaginal bleeding or cramping

• A sudden drop in fetal movement

When in doubt, always call your provider. You’re advocating for your baby—not overreacting.
