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.
