Week 38

My Baby This Week

Your baby may be as heavy as 3.2 kg by this week. Boys are often heavier than girls. All of her organs are fully developed. Baby’s heart and lungs will continue to mature throughout the entire childhood. She will still continue to accumulate fat, although growth will be slower now. You may actually lose some of your own weight, or at least stop gaining.

Waste material called meconium would have accumulated in her intestines and will be released during her very first bowel movement!


What’s Happening To My Body?

Heard of “nesting behavious”? Just like some animals such as birds, cats or dogs, we too have this nesting instinct. It manifests itself in a strong desire to arrange the nursery as labor approaches.

Feel free to do so, but make sure you avoid straining yourself or using industrial cleaners that may contain harmful chemicals that could possible enter your bloodstream!
