 Pregnancy Week 27
This week of pregnancy, your baby's crown-to-rump length is over 12 inches and your baby weighs about 2 pounds. This week marks the beginning of the third trimester.

As your baby grows bigger, you may notice some shortness of breath, because your growing uterus presses on your diaphragm and it becomes harder to fill your lungs and breathe out completely. Improving posture will help you to breathe better, both during pregnancy and afterward. When sleeping, lying propped up on pillows or on your side may help lesson the pressure on your diaphragm.
