27 Weeks Pregnant: Baby Development, Symptoms and Tips
Short Answer: At 27 week pregnancy, your baby is about 36 cm from head to heel, roughly the size of a head of cauliflower, and weighs around 875 grams. The eyes open and close, the brain is very active, the lungs keep maturing and your baby sleeps and wakes in clear cycles and may recognise your voice. This is the last week of the second trimester. The top of your womb is about 6 to 7 cm above your navel. You may have leg cramps, swollen feet, heartburn, breathlessness, trouble sleeping and tightenings that come and go. This week, learn how to track your baby’s movements, check that your glucose test and hemoglobin are done, arrange the anti-D and whooping cough vaccines, look after your mood and finish your birth and newborn plans. Call a doctor for heavy bleeding, severe pain, fever, fluid leaking, regular tightenings, a drop in your baby’s movement or a severe headache with blurred vision.
Pregnancy weeks are counted from the first day of your last period, not from conception. Twenty-seven weeks pregnant means about twenty-five weeks since conception. You are in your sixth month, with about 13 weeks to go. The third trimester begins next week.

Your baby at 27 weeks
Growth. Your baby is gaining weight quickly and laying down more fat. Weight will pass 1 kg next week and will roughly triple by birth. The body is rounder, and the skin is smoother, though still red and wrinkled.
Eyes. The eyelids open and close, and eyelashes are in place. The eyes are fully formed, and your baby can sense light through your belly. Newborns see best at about 20 to 30 cm, which is the distance to your face when you hold them. Eye colour is not final.
Brain. The brain is very active, with rapid growth and the folds that give it a wrinkled surface. Brain waves show cycles of sleep and wakefulness. Nutrition, sleep, avoiding alcohol and tobacco and treating infections quickly all support brain development.
Sleep and routine. Your baby sleeps most of the day in cycles, with deep sleep, dream-like sleep with rapid eye movements and periods awake. Many babies are busiest in the evening and at night. Your baby may settle when you move and wake when you rest. This is normal, and it does not predict newborn sleep.
Hearing and voice. Your baby hears your heartbeat, your voice, your stomach and loud sounds, all muffled. Studies suggest newborns prefer their mother’s voice and familiar sounds. Talking, reading and singing to your baby is a nice habit, even if the long-term effect is not proven. Very loud noise, such as machinery or loud music, is best avoided.
Taste and smell. Taste buds work, and flavours from your food reach the amniotic fluid. Your baby swallows the fluid, so may be getting used to the flavours of your family’s cooking.
Lungs. The air sacs are growing, and surfactant, which keeps them open, is increasing. The lungs are not ready to work alone until about 34 to 36 weeks. Your baby keeps practising breathing movements.
Immune system. Your baby receives antibodies from you through the placenta, mostly in the third trimester. This is one reason vaccines in pregnancy protect newborns.
Movement. Kicks, rolls, punches, stretches and hiccups are strong, and you can often see your belly move. Hiccups, which feel like small rhythmic jumps, are normal.
Hair and skin. Hair on the head is growing, with some colour and texture. Vernix and lanugo still cover the skin. Fingerprints and toe prints are unique.
Genitals. In boys, the testes are moving down toward the scrotum. In girls, the uterus and ovaries are in place.
Chances at birth. A baby born at 27 weeks has a high chance of survival in hospitals with good newborn intensive care, though a long stay and complications such as breathing problems, brain bleeds and later developmental difficulties are common. In places where newborn care is limited, as in many parts of Bangladesh, the chances are lower. Steroid injections given to the mother before preterm birth help the baby’s lungs, and they work best one to seven days before birth. If you have signs of preterm labour, go to a hospital with a newborn unit early.
Your body at 27 weeks
Womb. The top of your womb is about 6 to 7 cm above your navel, and a tape measure from the pubic bone reads about 27 cm. Your doctor may measure this at each visit as a quick check of growth. A difference of up to 2 cm either way is normal. A measurement that is far off, or that stops growing, may lead to a growth scan.
Weight. A person of normal weight usually gains about 0.4 to 0.5 kg a week. By now most people have gained about 8 to 11 kg in total, though it varies. Sudden rapid weight gain, especially with swelling, needs a check for pre-eclampsia.
Blood and heart. Your blood volume has risen by up to 40 percent. You may feel warm, sweat more and have a faster pulse. Blood pressure usually rises slowly toward the third trimester, so every visit includes a blood pressure check.
Breathing. The womb presses up on the diaphragm, so you may feel breathless on stairs. This is common. Sit up straight, rest and avoid rushing. Call your doctor if breathlessness is sudden, severe or comes with chest pain or a fast heartbeat.
Skin and hair. A glow is common, but so are acne, dry skin, dark patches on the face (melasma) and a dark line down the belly (linea nigra). Stretch marks can appear on the belly, breasts, hips and thighs. Genetics matters more than any cream. Hair looks thicker, and nails may grow faster or split.
Breasts. They are larger and heavier. A few drops of thick yellow fluid, called colostrum, may leak. A supportive nursing bra helps.
Hands and feet. Mild swelling is common, especially in hot weather. Tingling in the hands from carpal tunnel syndrome is common too. Your shoe size may increase and may not go back completely after the birth.
Mind. Vivid dreams, forgetfulness and mood swings are common. Many people feel closer to the baby, and also more anxious about the birth.
Tracking your baby’s movements
Your baby’s movements are one of the best signs of wellbeing. You will usually feel them clearly now, and from about 28 weeks doctors advise paying close attention to the pattern.
How to do it:
- Get to know your baby’s usual pattern. Most babies have times when they are more active, often after meals, in the evening or when you lie down.
- There is no single “right” number of kicks. What matters is a change from your baby’s usual pattern.
- If you want a method, try “count to ten.” Choose a time when your baby is usually active, sit or lie on your left side, and count each distinct movement, such as a kick, roll or swish, but not hiccups. Note how long it takes to reach ten movements. Many babies reach ten in under two hours, often much faster.
- If you do not feel ten movements in two hours, or you notice a clear drop or change in your baby’s usual pattern, call your doctor the same day. Do not wait until the next day.
What helps if the baby is quiet: have a cold drink or a light snack, lie on your left side and focus on your belly for a while. If you still do not feel the usual pattern, go to a hospital or clinic for a check. Do not rely on a home Doppler or phone app to reassure you, because a normal heartbeat does not guarantee the baby is well.
Call at once if you feel no movement at all, a sudden big change or weak, slow movement. A reduction in movement can be a warning sign, and checking early protects your baby. Do not worry that you are wasting anyone’s time.
Movements change as your baby grows and has less room. They may feel different, with fewer big kicks and more rolls, but they should not stop or slow down greatly.
Common symptoms and what helps
| Symptom | Why it happens | What helps |
|---|---|---|
| Backache | Growing womb, loosening joints, posture | Flat supportive shoes, good posture, side-sleeping with a pillow, gentle stretches |
| Pelvic and hip pain | Loosening joints, sleeping position | Pillow between knees, small steps, avoid standing on one leg |
| Braxton Hicks tightenings | Practice contractions | Drink water, rest, change position |
| Leg cramps, mostly at night | Circulation and mineral changes | Calf stretches before bed, drink water, ask about calcium and magnesium |
| Swollen feet and ankles | Fluid retention | Raise your feet, avoid long standing, drink water |
| Heartburn | Relaxed valve at the top of the stomach | Smaller meals, avoid spicy and oily food, stay upright after eating, raise your head in bed |
| Constipation, piles | Slow gut, iron tablets, pressure | Fibre, water, daily movement, do not strain |
| Shortness of breath | Womb presses on the diaphragm | Sit upright, rest, good posture |
| Dizziness | Blood pressure changes, low blood sugar | Eat regularly, stand up slowly |
| Trouble sleeping | Belly size, cramps, heartburn, worry | Side-sleeping with pillows, regular bedtime, cool room |
| Restless legs | Low iron, hormones | Gentle stretches, warm bath, ask about hemoglobin |
| Tingling hands | Fluid squeezing a nerve at the wrist | Shake and raise your hands, wrist splint at night |
| Headaches | Hormones, tiredness, dehydration | Rest, fluids, ask your doctor before taking medicine |
| Stuffy nose, nosebleeds | More blood flow to the nose lining | Saline spray, a humidifier, lean forward and pinch the nose for a bleed |
| Bleeding gums | More blood flow to the gums | Soft brush, gentle flossing, dental check |
| Itchy, stretching belly skin | Skin stretching | Moisturiser, loose cotton clothes |
| Increased vaginal discharge | Hormones | Cotton underwear, no douching |
| Leaking urine when you cough or sneeze | Pressure on the bladder | Pelvic floor exercises, empty your bladder often |
Do not take any medicine, including painkillers and herbal products, without asking a doctor or pharmacist. Paracetamol at the recommended dose is generally considered safe. Avoid ibuprofen, aspirin and diclofenac unless your doctor prescribes them.
Your mood and mental health
Pregnancy brings joy, but it also brings worry. Many people feel anxious about the birth, money, work, their relationship or being a parent. Some feel low or tearful. These feelings are common, and they are not a sign of weakness or of being a bad mother.
Depression and anxiety in pregnancy affect many women. They are more likely if you have had depression before, have little support, face money or family problems, have had a difficult earlier pregnancy or have experienced violence. They can also affect how you eat, sleep and look after yourself, and untreated depression raises the risk of postnatal depression. Both are treatable.
Signs to watch for, lasting two weeks or more:
- Feeling sad, empty, hopeless or tearful most of the day
- Losing interest in things you usually enjoy
- Constant worry, panic or racing thoughts
- Trouble sleeping beyond the discomforts of pregnancy, or sleeping far too much
- Little appetite or eating far more than usual
- Feeling guilty, worthless or very irritable
- Trouble concentrating or making decisions
- Pulling away from family and friends
- Thoughts of harming yourself or that your baby would be better off without you
What helps:
- Tell your doctor, midwife or a trusted person. A doctor can ask a few questions, and treatment can include talking therapy, support groups and, if needed, medicine that is safe in pregnancy. Do not stop prescribed medicine on your own.
- Ask your partner and family for specific help, such as chores or coming to appointments.
- Keep a routine, and get daylight, a short daily walk and regular meals.
- Talk to other mothers, in person or in a group you trust.
- Limit news and social media if they make you anxious.
- Rest, and do not take on too much before the baby arrives.
If you have thoughts of harming yourself, tell someone now and seek help at once. Go to the nearest hospital or call 999. If you feel unsafe at home, tell your doctor or a trusted person. In Bangladesh you can call the national helpline 109 for support with violence against women and children. It is free.
Partners also feel stress, and may feel low during pregnancy and after the birth. Look after each other.
When to call a doctor
| Usually normal | Call a doctor soon |
|---|---|
| Short, sharp pulls in the lower belly | Severe or constant abdominal pain |
| Mild, irregular tightenings that stop with rest | Regular tightenings that come more often and do not stop |
| Your baby’s movements change a little with time of day | A clear drop or change in your baby’s usual movements |
| Milky white discharge | Watery fluid leaking, or foul, itchy or coloured discharge |
| Occasional headache | Severe headache with blurred vision, flashing lights or upper belly pain |
| Itchy stretching belly skin | Intense itching of palms and soles, or yellow skin |
| Tiredness, mood swings | Fainting, chest pain or sudden breathlessness |
| Mild swelling of feet late in the day | Sudden swelling of the face and hands, or one swollen, painful calf |
| Light spotting after sex | Bleeding that soaks a pad in an hour, or with clots |
Pre-eclampsia. A serious blood pressure condition that can develop after 20 weeks. Signs include a severe headache that will not go away, blurred vision or flashing lights, sudden swelling of the face and hands, pain under the ribs on the right side, vomiting and rapid weight gain. It needs urgent care.
Preterm labour. Call straight away if you have regular tightenings, more than four in an hour, a steady low backache, pelvic pressure, a change in vaginal discharge, bleeding or fluid leaking before 37 weeks. Lie on your left side and drink water, and go to hospital if the signs continue for an hour, or at once for bleeding or fluid leaking. Call 999 if you need help getting there.
Fever. In Bangladesh a fever can also mean dengue, so do not treat it at home. See a doctor straight away.
If you feel sad, anxious or hopeless for more than two weeks, tell your doctor. If you ever have thoughts of harming yourself, seek help right away.
Tests and vaccines this week
| Test or step | When | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Glucose test | 24 to 28 weeks, or earlier if you have risk factors | Screens for gestational diabetes |
| Hemoglobin check | Second and third trimesters, or as advised | Looks for anaemia |
| Blood pressure and urine check | Every visit | Screens for pre-eclampsia and infection |
| Anti-D injection | About 28 weeks, if you are Rh negative | Protects future pregnancies |
| Whooping cough vaccine | About 27 to 36 weeks | Protects your newborn |
| Tetanus-diphtheria vaccine | During pregnancy, as your doctor advises | Protects you and your baby |
| Flu vaccine | Any trimester, in flu season | Protects you |
| Growth scan or repeat placenta scan | If advised, often about 32 weeks | Checks your baby’s size, fluid and placenta position |
| Group B strep test | About 35 to 37 weeks, where offered | Checks for a bacterium that can infect newborns |
This is the last week to book the glucose test if you have not had it. The usual window is 24 to 28 weeks. Ask your clinic how to prepare, and eat normally in the days before.
Anti-D. If your blood group is Rh negative, ask about the anti-D injection, usually given at about 28 weeks and again after birth if your baby is Rh positive. It prevents your body from making antibodies that could harm a future baby. It is also given after any bleeding, a fall or a procedure.
Whooping cough. The vaccine from about 27 to 36 weeks passes antibodies to your baby, protecting the newborn in the first months, before they can be vaccinated. Ask your doctor whether it is available.
Tetanus-diphtheria. If you have not been vaccinated before, you may need two doses at least four weeks apart. Ask your doctor about the schedule.
Anaemia. Ask for a hemoglobin test if it has not been done this trimester. Anaemia is common among pregnant women in South Asia. If it is low, your doctor may increase your iron dose, change the type or advise a longer treatment. Severe anaemia needs hospital care, because it raises the risk of bleeding after birth.
Keep your records. Carry your prenatal card and test results to every visit and to the hospital.
Food and supplements
Iron. Keep taking iron-folic acid tablets as prescribed. Take iron away from tea, coffee and milk, and with something sour such as lemon. Dark stools are normal on iron.
Calcium. Calcium supplements are advised where diets are low in calcium. They help your baby’s bones and teeth and lower the risk of high blood pressure in pregnancy. Take calcium at a different time from iron.
Iodine. Use iodised salt in your cooking. Iodine supports your baby’s brain development.
Eat more of:
- Protein: eggs, well-cooked fish, chicken, lentils (dal), beans and milk
- Iron-rich foods: leafy greens (shak), lean meat and lentils, with lemon or guava for vitamin C
- Calcium-rich foods: milk, yogurt, and small fish such as mola eaten with the bones
- Fruit and vegetables: a variety of colours every day
- Whole grains and fibre: brown rice, whole wheat roti and oats
- Healthy fats: well-cooked oily fish, nuts and seeds
- Water: about 8 to 10 glasses across the day, more in hot weather
Limit: caffeine to about 200 mg a day, which is one or two cups of tea or a single small coffee. Limit sweets, sugary drinks, juice and fried snacks. Large portions of white rice and bread push blood sugar up, so pair carbohydrates with protein and vegetables.
Avoid: alcohol, all tobacco (including zarda and jorda), raw or undercooked meat, fish and eggs, unpasteurized milk and cheese, unwashed produce, large predatory fish such as shark and swordfish, high-dose vitamin A supplements, unripe papaya and herbal tonics your doctor has not approved.
Smaller, more frequent meals help with heartburn and breathlessness as your belly grows. Eat slowly, and avoid lying down for an hour after eating.
Weight gain. Total gain over the whole pregnancy depends on your weight before pregnancy, and Asian-specific BMI ranges may apply, so ask your doctor.
| Weight before pregnancy | Recommended total gain |
|---|---|
| Underweight | 12.5 to 18 kg |
| Normal weight | 11.5 to 16 kg |
| Overweight | 7 to 11.5 kg |
| Obese | 5 to 9 kg |
Exercise, sleep and sex
Exercise. The standard advice for healthy pregnancies is about 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, such as 30 minutes of brisk walking on most days. Walking after meals helps blood sugar. Swimming, prenatal yoga, stationary cycling and pelvic floor exercises are good choices. You should be able to talk while you exercise. Avoid hot yoga, lying flat on your back during exercise, contact sports, heavy lifting and anything with a risk of falls. Stop and call your doctor if you have pain, bleeding, dizziness or trouble breathing.
Pelvic floor. Squeeze and lift the muscles you use to stop urine flow, hold for a few seconds and release. Do a few sets a day. Strong pelvic floor muscles help with bladder control during and after pregnancy.
Sleep. Sleep on your side, ideally the left, with a pillow between your knees and another under your belly. Doctors advise against sleeping flat on your back from about 20 weeks, and guidelines are firm about it in the third trimester. If you wake on your back, simply turn over. A long body pillow helps. Keep a regular bedtime and avoid screens at night. Hot, humid nights and power cuts can disturb sleep, so use a fan, wear loose cotton clothes and keep water by your bed.
Sex. It is safe for most healthy pregnancies unless your doctor advises otherwise. Your sex drive may go up or down, and both are normal. Use comfortable positions, such as side-lying or you on top, as your belly grows. Avoid sex and ask your doctor if you have bleeding, fluid leaking, a low-lying placenta, a history of preterm labour or a short cervix. Talk to your partner about your feelings and limits, and remember that closeness does not have to mean sex.
Posture. As your belly grows, your centre of gravity shifts forward. Stand tall, keep your shoulders back, avoid high heels and use a chair that supports your lower back. Lift by bending your knees. A support belt can ease back pain, so ask your doctor.
Getting ready for the third trimester
The third trimester starts next week, and visits become more frequent. Many doctors see you every two weeks from about 28 to 36 weeks, and then weekly. Use this week to get organised.
- Book your visits for the next month, and note the dates.
- Plan your leave. Under Bangladesh’s labour law, working mothers in the private sector are entitled to 16 weeks of paid maternity leave, eight before and eight after the birth. Government employees receive six months. Check your own contract and tell your employer in good time.
- Choose the place of birth. Pick a hospital or clinic with a qualified doctor or midwife, a way to handle emergencies, a blood supply and a newborn care unit. Visit it if you can, and ask what the package covers and what an emergency would cost.
- Learn about delivery. Many births in Bangladesh are by C-section, and some are not medically needed. Ask your doctor when a C-section is recommended and what a vaginal birth involves.
- Plan transport to the hospital at any hour, and keep emergency numbers in your phone. The national emergency number is 999.
- Join an antenatal class that covers labour, breathing, newborn care and breastfeeding.
- Pack your hospital bag by about 36 weeks. Start a list now, and see our previous guide for a checklist.
- Arrange help for the weeks after the birth, such as a relative to cook, clean and look after other children.
- Budget for delivery, newborn care and baby costs, and any emergency fund.
- See a dentist. Dental treatment is safe in pregnancy, and gum disease is linked to early birth.
- Prepare your home for the heat and for dengue. Remove standing water, and use mosquito nets.
- Talk with your partner about names, roles and how you will share care.
If you feel unsafe at home, tell your doctor or a trusted person. In Bangladesh you can call the national helpline 109 for support with violence against women and children. It is free.
Newborn care and vaccines in Bangladesh
Breastfeeding. The World Health Organization recommends starting breastfeeding within the first hour after birth and breastfeeding exclusively for the first six months. Do not give honey, water, sugar water, formula or any other food before breastmilk. Colostrum, the thick yellow first milk, is full of antibodies. Ask your hospital about skin-to-skin contact and rooming-in.
Cord care. Keep the umbilical cord stump clean and dry, and leave it uncovered or loosely covered. Do not apply anything to it unless your doctor advises. It falls off in one to three weeks. See a doctor if the skin around it is red, swollen or has pus or a bad smell.
Warmth. Keep your baby warm, with skin-to-skin contact and a cap. Delay the first bath for at least 24 hours.
Safe sleep. Place your baby on the back, on a firm, flat surface, with no pillows, loose blankets or soft toys. Do not let anyone smoke near your baby.
Danger signs in a newborn: fever or very low temperature, poor feeding, fast or difficult breathing, fits, yellow skin in the first day or lasting beyond two weeks, a pus-filled or red cord, being very sleepy or hard to wake or not passing urine or stool. Go to hospital at once.
Vaccines. In Bangladesh, the government’s Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) provides free vaccines for children. The first, BCG, is given at birth. Further doses are given from about six weeks of age, and the schedule continues through infancy. Ask your doctor or your local EPI centre for the current schedule, and keep your baby’s vaccination card safe. Register your baby’s birth with the local authority, which is free within 45 days.
Choose a doctor for your baby. Ask your doctor or the hospital which paediatrician or clinic will see your baby after birth, and how to reach them.
Baby shopping: what you really need
You do not need to buy everything. Wait for hand-me-downs, and buy the basics.
Essentials:
- 6 to 8 soft cotton onesies or baby suits, and several caps and socks
- Soft cotton wraps or blankets
- Nappies and wipes, or cloth nappies if you prefer, with soft cotton pads
- A firm, flat cot or sleeping space
- A baby bath or a clean tub, soft towels and mild soap
- A nail clipper, a thermometer and a soft brush
- A baby car seat if you will travel in a car
- Nursing bras, breast pads and a comfortable chair
Not needed at first: many toys, expensive prams, a lot of newborn-size clothes, baby powder, feeding bottles and formula, unless advised by your doctor.
Buy second-hand with care. Avoid used car seats, and check cots and clothes for damage.

FAQ
How big is the baby at 27 weeks?
About 36 cm from head to heel and 875 grams, roughly the size of a head of cauliflower. Sizes vary a little between guides and between babies.
Is 27 weeks the third trimester?
Not yet. The second trimester runs to week 27 and 6 days, and the third trimester begins at week 28.
Can a baby survive if born at 27 weeks?
Most babies born at 27 weeks survive in hospitals with good newborn intensive care, but many need a long stay and face complications. Chances are lower where newborn care is limited. Go to hospital early if you have signs of preterm labour.
How do I count my baby’s kicks?
Get to know your baby’s usual pattern. If you want a method, count distinct movements until you reach ten, which usually takes under two hours. If your baby is much quieter than usual, call your doctor the same day.
When should I start tracking kicks?
From about 28 weeks, but notice your baby’s pattern now. A change in movement at any time needs a check.
Do I need the glucose test at 27 weeks?
If you have not had it, yes, and do it this week. The usual window is 24 to 28 weeks.
What is anti-D?
An injection for Rh negative women, usually at about 28 weeks and after birth, that prevents antibodies forming against a future Rh positive baby.
What helps with trouble sleeping?
Side-sleeping with pillows, a regular bedtime, a cool dark room, less fluid before bed and no caffeine in the afternoon. Tell your doctor if you snore loudly or feel hopeless.
Is it normal to feel anxious or low in pregnancy?
Yes, many people do. If it lasts two weeks or more, or you have thoughts of harming yourself, tell your doctor or seek help at once.
Is it safe to have sex at 27 weeks?
For most healthy pregnancies, yes. Avoid it and ask your doctor if you have bleeding, fluid leaking, a low-lying placenta or a history of preterm labour.
Note: This article gives general information and does not replace advice from your doctor or midwife. Every pregnancy is different. Call your doctor or go to a hospital if you have bleeding, severe pain, fever, fainting, a change in your baby’s movements or any symptom that worries you.
