The skeleton is hardening rapidly, and the fetus absorbs about 250 milligrams of calcium a day from you. White fat is accumulating beneath the skin, which is beginning to look smoother. The adrenal glands are producing hormones that stimulate the placenta to make estrogen.
Sizes and weights are averages — healthy babies vary widely, and your scan measurements are what count.
Calcium and iron needs are high right now, so dairy, leafy greens and iron-rich foods matter. Heartburn, constipation and hemorrhoids can be more frequent. Your uterus is pressing on the bladder again, so bathroom trips increase.

At 29 weeks 0 days you are 203 days into a 280-day pregnancy, which leaves 77 days — 11 weeks — until 40 weeks. That number drops by one for every day you move through this week. Remember the due date is an estimate: only about 1 in 20 babies is born on it, and most arrive within two weeks on either side.
Next milestone: 56 days until early term (37 weeks 0 days).
A calendar month averages about 4.3 weeks — not 4 — so you can't just divide your week number by four. Instead, months of pregnancy are counted as uneven buckets of 4 to 5 weeks, arranged so the full 40 weeks fits into 9 calendar months. Week 29 falls in month 7, in the third trimester.
Your care team will always use weeks and days rather than months, because screening windows and term definitions are set by exact week — months are just the everyday shorthand. For the full conversion, see the weeks to months chart, or go the other way with the months-to-weeks guide.
Your notes will show a week and a day — 29+3 or 29w3d, for example. Pick the exact day you are on for its own day count, countdown and month answer.
