Hello [*data('91.salutation')|html*],

Here's your week 28 pregnancy update from the SMA® Baby Club. This week you might be wondering why your contractions have begun so early. Don't worry, they're not real.
 
You and your baby
 
  
 
 
Foetus at 28 weeks
 
Your baby at 28 weeks

Your baby's skin is smoothing out nicely now, as fatty deposits begin spreading out beneath the skin. He or she also has her own internal temperature gauge now, to help in adjusting to the temperature outside your tummy on the big day.
 
You at 28 weeks

About now you might start feeling something strange – a slight tightening in your back or tummy. These may well be 'Braxton Hicks' contractions, which are just your uterus practicing for birth. You can trigger them by overdoing things, so do take it easy.

Nutrition: be a happy eater!


By now all five of your little one's senses are developed. So now's the perfect time in their first 1000 days to start maturing their taste by eating a range of good foods. After birth baby will remember the taste and even the pleasure hormones associated with eating them, and might be a less fussy eater.
 
 
 
 
Pregnancy: baby can breathe

Many women worry about premature birth…understandably since they may well be feeling ready to pop about now! But most babies make it through to full term or beyond. And even if they did appear, they'd probably have the ability to breathe on their own.
