38 weeks
Baby's development
So close to full-term, your baby is now fully developed and is using these last couple of weeks to lay down fat. At about 49 or 50cm long, they weigh near to 6lb 6oz (2.89 KG). Your baby can hear your voice,so intensify your bonding by talking or singing to your baby.
Mommy's
You might be finding it increasingly difficult to get proper sleep during late pregnancy, especially at night, so getting the maximum amount of rest during the day time, with your feet up, can compensate a little.
Although your weight gain has almost come to an end, you may be feeling worried or scared in other ways as you feel increasingly apprehensive about labour. Go over your birth plan to make sure it’s clear in your head and talk to your partner about it too.
As this can be a confusing time for any other young children in your family, involve them in the excitement to help manage their natural feelings of jealousy.
