Week 39+
What’s happening this week
Your baby…
- is about the size of a small watermelon
- is ready to be born – the average baby weighs around 3.4kg and measures around 51cm in length – your baby may be lighter or heavier, shorter or longer than this
- has all her senses working – smell, touch taste, sight and hearing.
You…
- may get impatient with people ringing up to see if you’ve gone into labour yet
- may have trouble sleeping, or anxious dreams
- may worry that your waters will break in public.
