Pregnancy Week 29 is an exciting milestone as you move deeper into your third trimester. Your baby is now the size of a butternut squash, with stronger kicks, growing brain development, and continued lung maturation as birth gets closer.

In this episode of Pregnancy Week by Week, we explore everything happening at 29 weeks pregnant: baby growth, common third trimester symptoms, and what is normal as your baby becomes more active and movement patterns become more consistent throughout the day.

What we cover in this episode:

• Baby size, position and movement patterns at 29 weeks pregnant
• Common third trimester symptoms and what is normal
• Managing anxiety and overwhelm as birth approaches
• Breathing and grounding techniques for emotional regulation
• Gentle ways to prepare your mind and body for birth
• How to feel more calm and supported in the third trimester

This week you may be experiencing:

• Stronger and more rhythmic baby kicks
• Shortness of breath and pelvic pressure
• Back pain and physical discomfort
• Sleep disruption and restlessness
• Heightened emotions and birth anxiety
• Braxton Hicks contractions

This stage can also bring emotional shifts. Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally overloaded as you begin thinking more about birth and what's ahead is completely normal at 29 weeks pregnant. Learning how to regulate your nervous system can help you feel more calm, supported, and prepared.

You will also be guided through a gentle grounding exercise to help you slow your mind, release tension, and reconnect with your baby.
