What's Happening in Week 38?

Your baby could arrive any day now! Weighing around 3kg, your baby is fully developed and ready for life outside the womb. The organs are ready to function independently.

Your baby continues to build fat layers and practice breathing. The grip is strong - strong enough to grasp your finger when they're born. The eye color you see at birth may not be the final color, as it can change in the first year.

Tips for Week 38

  • Don't travel too far from home
  • Know the difference between false labor and real labor
  • Try to stay calm and relaxed
  • Get as much rest as possible

Wishing you a safe delivery from Ultrasound Ireland.
