Pregnancy Week 28 - Seven Months Pregnant

Your baby's brain wave patterns  indicate that he's responding to sounds in the environment, such as sound of your voice, the growl of your stomach when you're hungry, even noises outside your body. The patterns are also starting to show differences during sleep. These sleep cycles will become clearer and more distinct closer to his due date. 

Changes in Body:

- As your pregnancy progresses, stretch marks may appear on your abdomen, breasts, hips, and thighs.

- Your breasts are now producing colostrum the fluid which proceeds breast milk.
