Week 38
What’s happening this week
Your baby…
- is about the size of adult Doc Martins
- regular movements are reassuring signs of a healthy baby, so it is important to be aware of your baby’s movements and report and alteration in pattern.
- has now lost most of the fine downy hair (lanugo) and protective white substance, vernix.
You…
- may feel impatient
- may worry that every twinge is a sign of imminent labour
- may feel very tired one minute, full of energy the next.
