Your twins are growing at 28 weeks, and you’re likely experiencing a number of late pregnancy symptoms. At this point in the pregnancy, Braxton Hicks contractions, varicose and spider veins, constipation, hemorrhoids, weight gain, and heartburn are all possible pregnancy symptoms. As your pregnancy goes on, you might notice a slight change in the way your babies move because they have less space to move. This stage of fetal development includes brain growth and change, the establishment of sleep cycles and startle reflexes, smoother skin, and the production of surfactants in the lungs.
Stay in tune with your weight
Remember, weight gain varies from one woman to the next. But gaining healthy weight reduces the possibility of having a baby with low birth weight. Expect to gain around 1. 5 pounds per week during the third trimester.
7 Months Pregnant With Twins: Pregnancy Symptoms
Carrying two humans inside your belly is not easy. Your stomach and other organs feel constantly squeezed because your babies are large enough at 7 months. Your legs and feet are swollen, and your joints feel spread out. You might also be enduring the following less desirable pregnancy symptoms:
Heartburn — This is very common during pregnancy, as the size of your babies and your uterus squeezes your internal organs. According to Healthline, you can try to prevent heartburn by avoiding spicy foods, drinking less water during meals (drink before and after instead), and eating slowly. You can also ask your doctor about pregnancy-safe heartburn relievers.
Baby brain” — Calm down; it’s perfectly normal to experience some forgetfulness at this point in your pregnancy. You have a lot on your mind, and you’re very stressed and anxious because you’re having your babies in a few weeks. It’s okay. This too shall pass.
Braxton Hicks contractions — At this point, they are merely “practice” contractions. They are merely a means by which your body gets ready for childbirth. These contractions will get stronger and more frequent as your due date approaches. By moving around, changing your position, and drinking plenty of water, you can reduce the discomfort.
