37 WEEKS OF PREGNANCY

BABY'S GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

HOW BABY'S GROWING

 You're now full-term and just a few weeks away from your due date . Your baby weighs over2.9kg and is about 48.6cm long from head to heel. This is a similar length to a stalk of swiss chard. Your baby continues to work his facial muscles by practising pouts , frowns and grimaces. His toenails should  now reach the end of his toes,  and may even continue to grow beyond this

Your baby's digestive system is still developing and will continue to mature for several years after he's born . His small intestine will grow by over 100cm in his first year alone.  Your baby will still have a regular pattern of movements, which will continue until he's born. If you notice a change in his pattern of movements, speak to your midwife or maternity unit straight away so that they can check he's safe and well.

This weeks you may be feeling more Braxton Hicks contractions, as your body gets ready to give birth. But if your contractions come at regular intervals, they don't go away when you change position, and they get gradually stronger and more frequent with time , it could be the real thing . Be calm and consult with your doctor.
