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.
