Week 39
From babyfit.com
Your Baby's Development This Week
Age of Fetus—37 weeks
You are about as big as you are going to get at this point. The baby is still storing fat and increasing the production of surfactant to keep the air sacs open in the lungs. You should have everything prepared at this time to go to the hospital if labor begins.
Other changes that are happening:
The baby's skin is becoming thicker and paler.
The baby is gaining about ½ an ounce of fat for every day in the womb now.
The muscles in your uterus apply a force equal to 55 pounds during labor contractions.
Baby's Size (head to rump) and Weight this week:
Size: 14.5 inches (head to rump)
21.5 inches (head to toes)
Weight: 7 lbs
