Almost Ready to Born: Your Baby in the Thirty-Seventh Week of Pregnancy
- Baby size 48.6 cm
- Approximate weight 2,86 kg
- About the size of a bunch of swiss chard
By the thirty-seventh week of pregnancy, your baby has reached a considerable size, measuring approximately 48-50 cm and weighing around 2.9-3 kg. Your baby's movements are strong and defined, and you will likely feel frequent kicks and stretches. The lungs are fully developed, and the baby practices rhythmic breathing movements. The brain continues to develop rapidly and the baby continues to accumulate fat under the skin, giving it a fuller, smoother appearance. The baby's skin is smoother and less wrinkled, preparing for birth. This is a crucial period where the baby continues to grow and prepare for life outside the womb.
