Today, 8th August, I am 37 weeks pregnant. I am so looking forward to this few weeks.
Activities during 37 weeks pregnant. (fetal age 35 weeks)
* Typically, baby now measures 19.5 inches (50 cm) from the head to the heel.
* Baby weighs up to 7 pounds or 3 kilograms.
* The head diameter is over 3.5 inches (9cm).
* The water could break at any time.
* If it does happen, see a doctor immediately
During my last antenatal visit, I was surprised to see my weight going down, I had dropped 200 grams. I was bit shocked but when I asked doctor and read online I came to know that it was normal to loose during the third trimester. During my antenatal the doctor told me that from 37th weeks, my baby is going to become a Term-baby and during this any time I could go to the labor. Because of my weight, I was escorted to Gyn & Obs for the fetal heart monitoring. There I was seated for 30-40 minutes to monitor the baby's heart beat. It was found normal, since my baby moved a lot I had to sit there a bit longer than the other expectant mothers. I was given a device to press it whenever the baby moved. The baby was moving a lot that I ended up pressing the device for 40 times.
Last night, while watching movie, my abdominal part, where the baby's head was resting, was quite itchy. This was my first time to experience such "itchiness".It must be from the baby's hair.
As my due date is nearing, I have been feeling sudden tiredness, sweaty and mood-swings. Even a petite matter can irritate me. I know these are all part of pregnancy, these will pass too...
As looking forward to the arrival of the baby, we have bought almost everything...just waiting for our " bundle of joy" that is our "baby girl" who will shower us with love and happiness. Her arrival will complete us giving us a new title, " Parents".
