Introduction to 7 Months Pregnant

7 months pregnant! Congrats! You’ve officially hit the third trimester. Things are about to get interesting, and maybe a little uncomfortable. This month is a big deal—for both you and your baby. You are going to experience 7 months pregnant baby movement a lot, so buckle up.

Baby Development

In 7th month pregnancy, your baby is about the size of a coconut, measuring around 14-15 inches. The ideal 7 month pregnancy baby weight is about 0.9-1.3kg. Here’s what your baby’s development is at:

  1. Brain

Their brain is making connections at lightning speed, which means they can recognise your voice and even respond to loud noises or music. They might even be dreaming!

  1. Lungs

Your baby’s lungs are maturing, preparing for that first big breath of air. They’re developing a special substance called surfactant, which will help them breathe after birth.

  1. Sensory Development

Your baby is super active, kicking and rolling around at 7 months pregnant. They are perfecting their reflexes and getting a feel for the world outside. They can now hear your voice, taste the food you eat, and even see the light filtering through your belly.

That’s about all of your baby’s development in the 7th month pregnancy. Now, let’s see what changes you, as a mom, could experience in your body.

Body Changes in 7th Month Pregnancy

Your body is going through some significant changes, too. You might feel like a waddling penguin, but it’s all part of the journey. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Huge Bump

Your baby bump is only getting bigger, and it is going to be the centre of attention. Whenever people see you, they are going to look at the bump first. So prepare yourself for the extra attention.

  1. Balance Issues

Your body’s centre of gravity shifts a little due to the huge baby bump. You might feel off-balance and a little clumsy. Take it slow and steady. Walk slowly, and you will be fine.

  1. Leaky Breasts

As much as you hate it, leaky breasts are unavoidable. Your breasts start producing the first batch of milk for your baby, and since it is not used, it could leak out. Stock up on nursing pads to clean when this happens. You can wear a double-layer bra so the leak doesn’t spread quickly, and you get time to clean up.

  1. Overactive Bladder

In the 7th month pregnancy, your growing uterus is putting pressure on your bladder. You will need to pee more frequently. At times, you might even experience a slight leak.

  1. Swollen Feet

Those feet might feel like balloons by the end of the day. All the extra weight puts a lot of pressure on your feet. Elevation and comfy shoes are your new best friends.

7 Months Pregnant Symptoms

This month might come with some not-so-pleasant side effects. But hey, knowledge is power, right? Here are some common 7 months pregnant symptoms:

  1. Backache: Supporting a lot of extra weight leads to backache.
  2. Heartburn: Your growing uterus pushes on your stomach, so heartburn is common.
  3. Insomnia: Between frequent bathroom visits and the baby moving and kicking, getting a good night’s sleep is difficult.
