Your baby says
This week I think I'm firming up what I already know, more than learning anything new.
What may be happening this week
During this period, the central nervous system and lungs continue to mature. This maturing moves at a different pace in every baby and is followed through doctor checkups.
A note for you
For the mother, this may be a week when thoughts about the birth come up more often. For the father or partner, listening to those thoughts and bringing the questions to the doctor together can be a simple kind of support.
A week of firming up. Let's close the note without adding anything new.
Sizes are averages and every baby grows at their own pace. This page is general information, not medical advice.
