27th Week Of Pregnancy

The 27th week of pregnancy occurs when the pregnancy has lasted from 26 weeks and from day 0 to week 26 and day 6. The second trimester of pregnancy is coming to an end, and the connection between mother and child is intensifying day by day. The heartbeat of the mother is combined with the heartbeat of the fetus, and the mother can already feel every movement made by the fetus with her hands and feet – and even this sweat.

The mother and the growing baby communicate with each other, and the mother knows when the fetus is going through a moment of rest and when it is particularly restless. The mother’s mood has a direct effect on the child. The developing baby knows if the mother is calm, sad, or anxious, and recognizes whether this is speaking in a gentle tone of voice or not.

27th week of pregnancy from the mother’s point of view

It is common for the expectant mother to experience the following symptoms at the end of the second trimester of pregnancy:

• The abdomen grows at a rapid rate as the fetus occupies almost the entire uterine area, which can cause discomfort and difficulty moving and sleeping.
• Opinions intensify. Opinions are often a sign that your body needs more certain nutrients, so it’s worth listening to your own body. For example, if the mother is constantly making an ice cream, the body may need fat or calcium.
• The pain in the back, hips and hind legs begins as the body prepares for the birth of a child. Bones and muscles move to the right positions for childbirth.
• Mood swings are increasing. A pregnant woman can first be happy and happy and in a few minutes get sad for no apparent reason.
• The appetite increases and the expectant mother may make up her mind to eat constantly. Although pregnancy is not a good time for weight loss, you should monitor your own weight. A sedentary lifestyle and increased appetite tend to lift more weight than would be good.

• Cramps increase especially in the legs. Seizures are most common at night, as standing and moving prevents and relieves them. Rubbing the cramping muscle can also help.
• The breasts continue to grow and small blood vessels appear on their skin. Small pimples may rise on the nipples, which is perfectly normal. It is advisable to moisturize the skin of both the abdomen and breasts regularly as the skin has to stretch at a rapid pace.
• The legs may grow so that the expectant mother has to change to bigger shoes. It may simply be a swelling of the soft tissues, but it can also be caused by the hormone relaxin. The bones of the foot are exposed to this hormone and the extra weight on the feet.

27th week of pregnancy from a fetal perspective

At 27 weeks of gestation, the fetus weighs about 900 grams and the length from head to buttocks is about 22.5 cents and from head to toes is about 31 cents. Its spine now consists of 33 rings, 150 joints and 1,000 tendons. The next month is a very active time when the fetus grows rapidly in both height and weight. Fat begins to accumulate in the body at a rapid rate, keeping its body temperature at the right level. This fat also acts as an energy source in the days after birth.

At this stage of pregnancy, the fetal internal organs begin to be fully developed. The nervous system also matures and the brain folds on the surface of the brain begin to develop gradually. Brain areas, especially those related to seeing and hearing, are often activated. The fetus begins to respond to light filtering through the mother’s abdomen and is already able to open and close its eyes.
