How is your baby growing?

Since only 5% of babies are born on their due date, at 39 weeks of pregnancy, labor can start at any time. Your baby is now losing the last remnants of vernix and has only a few strands of lanugo hair on the back and ears. Otherwise, they are already ready for their big appearance.

How is your belly growing?

Your belly circumference may reach about one meter in the 39th week of pregnancy. Have you taken photos or even made a plaster cast as a souvenir?  

Perhaps, like many other expectant mothers, you no longer feel so comfortable with yourself and are suffering from typical symptoms such as nausea and abdominal pain. So if it started now, it would be perfectly fine.  

If you experience diarrhea, this may be a sign that labor has begun. But increased discharge or light bleeding may also indicate that the cervix is opening and that labor is near.  

What makes you grow as a family?

If, at 39 weeks of pregnancy, you feel a burst of energy and want to clean and tidy up your home, then you have been overcome by a strong desire to prepare your nest. This phenomenon also heralds childbirth. Despite the energy you feel, don't overdo it, but gather your strength for childbirth and take a walk in the fresh air instead of moving heavy objects.
