You are now 36 weeks pregnant (or in your 37th week if that’s how you prefer to count it).





How your baby’s growing


Congratulations! By the end of this week, your pregnancy will have come full term - meaning your baby can be born any day now. (Babies born before 37 weeks are premature or pre-term, and those born after 42 weeks are post-mature or post-term.) All babies are different but a typical 37-week-old weighs 2.86kg/6.30lb and is 19 inches/ 45 centimetres long from head to toe.


How your life’s changing


You may begin to feel increased pressure in your lower abdomen and notice that your baby is gradually dropping. This is called lightening or engagement and your lungs and stomach will finally get a chance to stretch a bit, so breathing and eating become easier. However, walking may become increasingly uncomfortable - some women even say it feels as if the baby is going to fall out. (Don’t worry, it can’t happen.) You may feel as if you need to go for a wee all the time however. Practising your pelvic floor exercises can help.


At your weekly visit, your doctor may check to see if you’ve started dilating (when the cervix opens) and effacing (when the cervix thins). The doctor will also check what position the baby is in, in order to estimate how far the baby has dropped into the pelvis. This information will be entered into your maternity notes so that your doctor in will know the position of the baby when you go into labour.
