Growth update

Every week you get to see "how big is baby" in relation to a fruit or vegetable- it's been kinda cute. Well this week I get my last one. They just kind of clump the last month together. I feel like it was just yesterday that he was just a poppyseed- now he's a watermelon!

Weeks 37-Delivery (Month 9): Watermelon




At week 37, your pregnancy is considered full term, meaning baby is likely to thrive after birth. Baby spends these last weeks in preparation for the outside world… meaning careful refinement of the blink, suck, inhale and exhale. Meconium, which you’ll probably find in the first diaper, is accumulating in the intestines. If (okay, as) you worry about giving birth, consider what it’s like for the little one. During the journey out of your womb, baby will produce more stress hormones than any other time in life.
