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.
