WEEK 34
Right
now your baby measures more than 12 inches from the top of the head to
the rump, and weighs 5 pounds — about the size of a large pineapple.
Most of the major organs — digestive, respiratory, and nervous systems —
are almost able to work on their own. Your baby may already be in the
head-down position, ready for delivery! Space in your uterus is tight
these days, so don't be surprised if you see an errant elbow or knee
poking out from your belly.
WEEK 40
This
is the week when you should finally get to meet the squirmy little
bundle you've been carrying around for the last 9 months! However, often
babies don't cooperate and arrive on schedule. If yours decides to
stick around in your womb past your due date, talk to your doctor about
whether he or she will cause you to go into labor, also known as
inducing. Your baby is now full-sized. Although newborn sizes can vary,
the average baby weighs 7 pounds, and measures 20 inches long from the
top of the head to the rump.
