Week 38 Baby Updates!

Only 9 days to go to c-section time!! We're very excited!!

Your baby probably weighs just over 7 pounds (3250g) by now and measures about 14.4 inches (36cm) from crown to rump and has a total length of about 21.5 inches (48cm).

Your baby's lungs are the last part to develop before birth. Once the lungs are developed, your baby is ready for life outside the womb.

By now your baby has almost run out of space to move in your uterus.

Your baby has shed most of his lanugo, though he may still have some on his shoulders and in the creases of his body.

His toenails reach the end of his toes.

The umbilical cord, which still is supplying your baby with nutrition as he gains more weight, may be knotted or wrapped around him.

Some of your antibodies have crossed the placental barrier and give your baby's immune system a boost to get him started until his is fully functioning.

Your baby could be born any day now!
