What is going on with your baby during week 29?

At this point of pregnancy, your baby's hearing is already keenly developed. Baby may be startled by loud sounds (although there is a gap between the startling noise and your baby's reaction). Some of the sounds your baby is getting accustomed to (since it hears them on a regular basis) and in fact finds them comforting are the pounding of your heart, your digestive system, the rushing of blood. These sounds have been likened to a washing machine or dishwasher at work by scientists. It is no wonder that babies exposed to such 'white noises' can be lulled back to sleep as these sounds are familiar. Your baby is now able to hear your voice and the voices of other family members and even make a distinction. Baby now measures at 26cm (10½ inch) from crown to rump. Full length is 16¾ inch (37cm). Fetus weighs at 2¾ lbs or 1.25kg.

Gulp! This always ScaRy Me; Why is labor painful?

Tho the labor pain is really painful to me, and eventho i've gone thru the situation for 4 times and yet for another time soon, I still feel scary to face the situation again. But, at the end of the momento, when the baby come out with their crying sound, that is the most magically moment in which all the pain which i bare gone in a flip. Like I don't even know where it goes. This is the power of Allah s.w.t...and I am really glad and thankful for the experience by experience. I feel really great for the chances given by Allah s.w.t to me to experience the situation and having our own descent. I feel really proud to give those greatest gifts in our life to our family. And I truly hopes that I could be a great mum for them, who could grow and teach them to be a successful and righteous childs of us.

Info:

Labor and contractions are painful and there are several reasons for it. First it's the fear and anxiety felt about delivery - this releases stress hormones into the system in excess which causes labor pain to be more pronounced and last longer. Theoretically speaking, during each contraction the oxygen supply to the uterus muscles becomes restricted; when the intervals between contractions are short, the supply of oxygen reduces even further causing oxygen supply deprivation. So much of stretching takes place. Supporting ligaments of the uterus and pelvic joints stretch during contractions and when the baby descends. The cervix when it effaces and dilates gets stretched and this is painful. This is compounded by the stretching of the pelvic floor muscles and vaginal tissues. Weight of baby on nerves in and around the cervix and vagina, on the urethra, bladder and rectum causes great discomfort and are not easy to deal with. With all these changes going on with your body, pain is but natural.
