Wellness and Nutrition at 29 Weeks Pregnant

In your 29th week of pregnancy, nutrition and physical activity can help you cope with many of your 3rd-trimester pregnancy symptoms.

Your veins are only as healthy as your diet!
  • Eating enough foods with vitamin C helps your body manufacture the connective tissues that repair and maintain blood vessels. Try carrots, winter squash, mangoes, sweet potatoes, leafy greens, lean sources of meat, eggs, dairy, and fortified whole-grain cereals.
  • Eating regular, balanced meals and snacks can help improve both your circulation and leg strength.

Doctor visit: You might be visiting the doctor when you're 29 weeks pregnant or in the next couple of weeks.

  • This might be your last monthly visit.
  • Your doctor might ask to see you every two weeks and then once a week until your delivery.
  • Your doctor will continue to monitor your health and your baby's progress.

Give Me a Break
Many women begin to slow their activity in the 29th week of pregnancy and beyond, which is normal.

  • You are carrying more weight, which can make any physical activity more exhausting than normal.
  • Respond to your body's needs. It's OK to modify your routine. Just try to keep moving every day.
