Fetal Weight Standard
At week 29, the baby's musculoskeletal system is growing strong and dense. The baby requires roughly 250 mg of maternal calcium daily to support rapid bone ossification.
The brain can now regulate primitive body temperature rhythms, taking over functions previously managed solely by the maternal environment. Muscles are coordinating stronger, sharper kicks and rolls.
