Congratulation moms to be!
- You have reached 38th week of your pregnancy
- Your baby's height now is 19.61 inches and weighs 6.80 pounds
- Babies grow in weight for around 25-30g per day. Head and stomach stay the same
- Meconium accumulates in the fetus' intestines which will be the baby's first stool
- Your baby now has hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes
- During this week, all excessive hair is lost and the greasy layer will stay only on the upper part of the back
- Baby's lungs and other organs are now healthy and ready for life outside of the mother's womb
- Even though the baby is fully developed and ready, the brain and the nervous system continue developing
- Amniotic fluid has milky white color, which is a sign that baby is healthy
- Your little ones fingernails and toenails have reached the end of the fingers and toes
- Your baby now loses vernix, the waxy coating that's been protecting his fragile fetal skin from amniotic fluid and he'll shed remaining lanugo, the fine hair that was temporarily covering his body
- Once the vernix and lanugo are shed into the surrounding amniotic fluid your baby ingests them along with other waste products such as bile, urine, and old cells
- As your baby prepares for birth, the placenta starts to slowly deteriorate, but it still has plenty of life left to sustain your little one until the big day
