The last stretch of the pregnancy. Your baby may not be moving around as much as she/he will be running out of space in the uterus, but your baby still has plenty of growing to do and you can expect him/her to gain at least two pounds/ 900 grams before birth. Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:35:49 GMT pregnancy http://www.bringemup.com/articles/147/week-30-of-pregnancy.html http://www.bringemup.com/articles/147/week-30-of-pregnancy.html By 30 weeks your baby has the ability to produce tears. Your baby can also recognise your voice. Research has shown that the baby's heart rate slows down when the mother speaks, suggesting that your baby not only hears and recognises your voice, but is also calmed by your voice.

They do tend to fade three to four months after your baby has been born but some do not disappear altogether.

The exercises are easy to do and can be done anywhere.

If born now and your baby is healthy then it should stand a 95% chance of survival although it would still need help with it's breathing as the lungs are not yet fully developed. Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:28:19 GMT pregnancy http://www.bringemup.com/articles/142/week-27-of-pregnancy.html http://www.bringemup.com/articles/142/week-27-of-pregnancy.html By week 27 you have officially started your third trimester.

You may even notice a reaction to a bright light aimed at the uterus. This indicates good optic nerve function.

Towards the end of your pregnancy the appointments will be more frequent. It is important that you attend these appointments so that your midwife can keep an eye out for conditions that may affect your pregnancy. Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:04:41 GMT pregnancy http://www.bringemup.com/articles/138/week-24-of-pregnancy.html http://www.bringemup.com/articles/138/week-24-of-pregnancy.html At 24 weeks your baby is called "viable" which means that if born now would have a reasonable chance of survival outside your womb in an intensive care unit.

Loud noises that the baby hears in the uterus such as the dog barking, a door slamming or a vacuum cleaner won't bother him/her in the outside world. Thu, 26 Mar 2009 16:44:36 GMT pregnancy http://www.bringemup.com/articles/136/week-22-of-pregnancy.html http://www.bringemup.com/articles/136/week-22-of-pregnancy.html By week 22 you should definitely be feeling your baby move. If you pat your tummy or talk to him/her, they may kick in response. Studies suggest that this kind of interaction may even help neurological stimulation. Tue, 24 Mar 2009 23:55:51 GMT pregnancy http://www.bringemup.com/articles/135/week-21-of-pregnancy.html http://www.bringemup.com/articles/135/week-21-of-pregnancy.html During pregnancy your baby can use up to a third of your body's iron supply, if you do not replace this iron supply with iron rich food such as red meat, poultry, fish, lentils, spinach, dried fruit and iron-fortified cereals then you could end up with anaemia. Mon, 23 Mar 2009 23:13:16 GMT pregnancy http://www.bringemup.com/articles/129/week-20-of-pregnancy.html http://www.bringemup.com/articles/129/week-20-of-pregnancy.html You are officially over the half way mark at 20 weeks pregnant.

If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place.

I seemed to fancy a variety of different foods at different times during the pregnancy but the one that lasted the longest was peanut butter on toast and a love for the smell of coltar shampoo.

We were astounded by the results, so have decided to follow through and it looks like she is going to be reading before she is 2 years old. We continue to outline our methods and results and hope other parents will help us refine the techniques.

This article covers her latest 2 lessons, and I've tried to include more pictures than usual as the last few articles have been low on them. There is only one new technique but I would recommend reading this article as there is a lot more in it than usual.

This is why out lesson 8 article is a week later than it should have been. Still no Clare today, so I took my Dad along to take the pictures. He's not as proficient with the steamy low light conditions as Clare so only a couple came out.

She spent the summer barefoot or with cheap plastic sandals on. Clare and I have both had nagging thoughts that now was the time to get her measured up and fitted up for her first pair of proper shoes. We had one bad experience and then a good one.

For me the most interesting part was swimming up to the surface to hold onto the side of the pool. It was a busy lesson, quite a contrast to last week when we thought we may be the only ones attending.
