Baby Chris is 29 Weeks Old

[This is part 30 of a multi-part series chronicling a pregnancy through the lens of “Baby Chris.” Click here for other parts.]


29 weeks after fertilization (31 weeks LMP), Baby Chris is 16 ¼ inches long and weighs 3 ¼ pounds—about the size of a coconut. His or her full-term due date is just nine weeks away!

A baby’s average weight at birth is 7 and a half pounds (although anything from 5.8 to 10 pounds is considered normal). That means Baby Chris is getting ready to essentially double his or her weight in only two months. The Endowment for Human Development reports that:

Each day, the adrenal glands produce large amounts of steroid products. The adrenal glands have doubled in size since week 20, and will double again before the end of pregnancy.

For more information on Baby Chris’s nine-month journey from conception to birth, download the free See Baby app.
