Your baby says
Even this close to the finish, my growing isn't done. I still have small jobs left.
What may be happening this week
The brain and body keep growing in these weeks too; babies at this stage can be of different lengths and weights. The timing of birth is different in every pregnancy and is followed together with the doctor.
A note for you
For the mother, the tiredness and the anticipation of waiting may sit side by side this week. For the father or partner, taking on a bit more of the daily tasks can make this week a little lighter.
Growing goes on, the note stays short. Nothing more is needed this week.
Sizes are averages and every baby grows at their own pace. This page is general information, not medical advice.
