Thirty-seventh week of pregnancy
Baby
The thirty-seventh week of pregnancy corresponds to the thirty-fifth week of a child's life. By the end of this week, the baby will be considered full-term and labor can begin at any time. The baby continues to gain weight and improve. His height is approximately 48 cm, and his weight is about 3000 g. The diameter of the head is 89.3 mm, the diameter of the abdomen is 97 mm, and the chest is 93.7 mm. Adipose tissue continues to accumulate at 30 grams per day. Fat is deposited on the cheeks, knees and elbows, on the shoulders. There is enough subcutaneous fat accumulated, it will provide the baby with nutrients for the entire time of adaptation of the digestive system.
The skin continues to smooth out more and more and become pale pink.
The baby is already fully ready to be born. There are no major changes in development anymore. Some changes relate to the fetal bone system – calcium continues to accumulate in the bones. They become more dense. There are also changes in the nervous and respiratory systems. A protective shell forms around the nerves. It will continue to form throughout the first year of the baby's life, thereby allowing for clearer coordination of movements. The maturation of the lungs is entering a new era – at this stage, they have already developed mature alveoli that perfectly cope with the function of breathing. When the baby is born, there will already be about 50 million of them, and after birth their number will grow. The lungs will finally develop by the age of three, and the number of alveoli will be 300 million. Surfactant production is also continuing, and if the baby is born this week, he will breathe on his own.
In boys, by this time, the testicles should have descended into the scrotum.
The fetus's head has sunk into the pelvic area and you probably feel a heaviness in your stomach.

The thirty–seventh week of pregnancy is the time from which you should definitely be ready to go to the hospital any day. You are probably already tired of back pain, a huge, heavy stomach, and clumsiness. Starting this week, tearfulness, irritability, and being demanding of others may be added to this list – all this is normal, because you are preparing for childbirth and you are very worried about how everything will go. Share with your loved ones, don't keep everything to yourself and remember that everything will be fine.
You continue to gain weight, certainly not as much as before, at about 200 grams per week. For some, the weight may rise completely, and even decrease in the last week. Over the entire period of pregnancy, you gained about 11-13 kg. As the baby sinks into the pelvic area, you begin to feel relief when breathing, it becomes easier to eat, digestive problems go away, heartburn and heaviness in the right hypochondrium are less and less bothered. Nevertheless, these relieves are replaced by other unpleasant sensations. The uterus begins to put more pressure on the bladder and intestines, so you will have to go to the toilet more often. Painful sensations are felt in the sacrum and coccyx, due to a sprain of the ligamentous apparatus.
In addition, training contractions may become more intense and slightly painful. They prepare you and your uterus for future labor. It is important not to confuse these fights with real ones. If the contractions take on a regular character, become painful and repeat after a certain time interval, then most likely you have started a real birth and it's time to call an ambulance.
You can still feel the baby's movements clearly, even though the cramped conditions make them difficult. Pay attention to their regularity. If the movements increase or, conversely, weaken, this indicates the intrauterine suffering of the baby. Be sure to consult your doctor. Remember that the baby should make himself known at least ten times in 12 hours.
Your breasts continue to change, they become bigger and heavier due to hormonal changes. Colostrum may begin to stand out.
The diet should fully satisfy the need for essential substances and vitamins. Eat often 5-6 times a day, but in small portions. Try not to eat before going to bed. Include more fermented dairy products in the menu: cottage cheese, kefir, cheese, yogurt, etc. They improve digestion, are an excellent remedy for constipation, and also enrich the body with calcium, which you need so much at this stage. Sources of iron are liver, red meat, and cereals. It is also necessary to replenish the body's reserves with vitamin B, which can be obtained from dried fruits, nuts, and coarse bread. Ascorbic acid, which is found in vegetables, fruits, and potatoes, is necessary for the absorption of iron.
Try not to overeat, refrain from sweets, flour and fatty foods. Spicy, smoked, fatty foods can lead to heartburn, disrupt the functioning of the liver and pancreas, there is heaviness in the stomach and sleep is disrupted.
Even if you suffer from edema, you should not limit the liquid to less than 1 liter per day. This is due to the fact that with dropsy, fluid begins to accumulate in the tissues, but in the blood it becomes, on the contrary, less. And if you drink less, blood circulation will suffer, but the swelling will not decrease. It is better to arrange fasting days once a week, for example, cottage cheese or kefir-apple.
The main thing for you now is to relax more, take a walk in the fresh air, think of quiet activities for yourself: reading a book, watching good movies, listening to good music. Sports welcome formats can be strict about odds: many require 1.40+ per selection and a minimum of 3 selections in an accumulator. Enter the promo code 1xbet free bet halfway through registration to unlock the higher cap, often €130. Bonus turnover can be around x5 on the bonus amount, with a limited validity period. Plan your bets so you can meet requirements without squeezing too many events into one ticket. Fewer, smarter slips usually work better.
