Fetal Development:
Average size is around 6.5 pounds now! The baby practices breathing movements
preparing for life outside the womb. His grasp becomes firm, and he will
turn toward light.
Maternal Changes:
Vaginal discharge may be heavier now and will have more cervical mucous in it as your
body prepares for labor. What position is your baby in? Is it head down or butt
first? (He is Head down and ready!) Whichever position your baby is in now is generally the way he will stay. If your baby is breech, you may need a cesarean or your care provider
might recommend an external version in which your abdomen is
manipulated in such a way that it turns head down. This is successful 60 to 70%
of the time. The baby could come at anytime. Is your hospital bag packed yet? (has been for the last month - or so)
