Pregnancy Week 37

Baby

Is the size of a SKUNK

Baby is gaining about 1/2 ounce a day in fat stores. Has all their major organs ready to work outside the womb. Is losing what lanugo is left, although some babies lose some of their lanugo hair after birth. So, don’t be surprised if you see some after they’re born.

You

Are doing weird yoga positions to get baby head down if they weren’t at your last doctor visit. You are either completely over being pregnant or are hating that it’s coming to an end.

Have installed the rear-facing car seat so you’re able to bring baby home. Or you have asked someone to do it because those things can be heavy. And you have all bags packed for you and baby.

Fourth Trimester Tip: Have some dinner meals prepared that you can just warm up and go. During the first couple weeks you may not have the energy or time to cook.

If you have pets and have gone through the steps of preparing pets then it’s time to talk about What To Do If The Dog Growls At The Baby. It’s not uncommon for this to happen as your pet’s lives are flipped up-side-down just as much as yours will be, but be prepared if it does happen.
