Pregnancy week by week › Week 27

Week 27 of your pregnancy

Your baby is about the size of a cauliflower

The lungs could now breathe air, and fat is filling out the skin as the organs mature.

You this week

Your squashed stomach can cause bloating and constipation. Tiredness and even snoring are common.

Tips for this week

  • Think about where you'd like to give birth
  • Do your pelvic floor exercises
  • Talk to your midwife about contraception after birth

Follow week 27 together
