Weight Gain and Baby's Development

How much weight should I have gained by the end of this month

You should have gained roughly 4 pounds this month. Your total pregnancy weight by the end of this month should be about 22-24 pounds.

My baby seems to be playing football with my ribcage

As the foetus is growing, it begins to feel cramped, and so tends to find a snug corner, most likely in your ribcage. For relief, you could take a few deep breaths as you raise one arm over your head and exhale as you drop it. Repeat a few times. If this does not help, you will just have to bear it until the foetus drops into the pelvis, a couple of weeks before delivery.

How is my baby growing

The foetus weighs about 5 pounds and is 8 inches long. Except for its lungs, most of the systems are fully developed and the brain is growing at a fast pace. Your baby can now see and hear.
