May 11, 2025 · 15 min

Show notes

Welcome to Hello Bump, a podcast about what you’re not expecting when you’re expecting.

In this episode, hosts Jana Pittman and Grace Rouvray discover your baby is around the size of a butternut squash or a small wallaby! At week 29, babies will start showing variation in size. Meanwhile, your insulin resistance can start to decline which can lead to gestational diabetes. Plus, Grace asks Jana about lightning crotch and Jana explains which immunisations you can get.
