Week 37

What’s happening this week

Your baby…

  • is about the size of a bowling pin
  • is still gaining weight
  • may weigh about 2.9kg
  • could measure about 51 cm when they are born but much smaller all tucked up inside

You…

  • may find walking more uncomfortable if your baby’s head presses on your pelvic floor
  • may have more frequent Braxton Hicks contractions could have dreams about the birth, or about the baby.

Everyone worries about whether they will know they are in labour. Our checklist this week will help you decide whether it’s the real thing.
