The full term of the week by week pregnancy has already begun and 38th week of pregnancy could well be the last week. In a matter of few days you would be able to see your child in real. An ultrasound machine no longer would be required to act as a mediocre between you and your baby.
Now that the birth room is a few days away, hope you have decided if you want your partner to be there inside the labor room or not. Decision is yours but being with the one you love greatly helps go through the anticipated and unanticipated pains of childbirth.
While you are busy imagining what would soon follow, the baby is gaining weight. Don't be shocked, the process would continue till the birth, though you might not feel the gain any further. By now she is also storing meconium in her intestines. The child is settling down in your pelvis and this could send a buzz in the lower part of the body. She's shed maximum of the lanugo cover, though the process continues after birth.
Just another few days and the world would change for the better. To begin with, your room would look different and sound different. The baby's sounds would fill the dull surroundings. Presently, you must be feeling slightly better than before, all thanks to the improved breathing conditions. Pressure would now be on thighs and bladder. As for the rest, problems plan to stay another few days followed by the big event. And soon the D-day of the week-by-week pregnancy would change things forever.
