Congratulations! You've reached the final weeks in your pregnancy (if you haven't delivered already)! Your baby has probably reached his birth weight by now. Most babies weigh somewhere between six to eight pounds when they are born. Boys are usually longer and heavier than girls. All of his internal organs are ready to support him in the outside world. She has also developed healthy amounts of baby fat over the past week, and her immune system is developing, and will continue to develop after she is born. Her fingernails and toenails have reached the end of her fingers and toes, and might even need a trim after she is born!
Not much has changed from last week, all his internal organs are ready to support him in the outside world, he's developed healthy amounts of baby fat over the past week and his immune system is developing and will continue to develop after he is born.

ReplyI can’t believe that I am 38 weeks pregnant today I’m guessing it could be any time soon sens I had my first baby at 38weeks and 2 days I’ve got apoiment this week I hope everything goes well I can’t wait to see my baby
ReplyI’m 38 weeks and a 1 day and im ready to hold my son, I have only dilated 1 so far. I have my appointment tomorrow hope to get better news.
ReplyWhen will i be 38 weeks pregnant?
ReplyHi there – Do you know how far along you are today? If you know your due date you can count back the weeks from there.
ReplyI’m 38 weeks pregnant today and I have another doctors apt tommorw. Last week however I hadn’t dilated and and my cervix was still closed. I’m so ready to meet my baby boy and becoming more anxious. Besides I’m ready to be a mom and not a pregnant lady.
ReplyI am 38 weeks and 3 days! At my last appointment I was dilated to a 3 I’m really hoping it will be any time now. I have been super uncomfortable today and have these brief stabbing pains in my left side but it’s definitely not contractions. Can’t wait until my new baby girl arrives.
ReplyI’m exactly 38 weeks today, but for the last 3 days I’ve had a stabbing pain right above my vagina. It hurts and is very uncomfortable and occurs at night. Is it Braxton Hicks contractions or am I dilating? I’ve also noticed that my baby has dropped overnight. Are these signs that I could be going into labor early? I’m scheduled to get induced this thursday but with these symptoms could I possibly go in early. I’m a first time mom so any advice from experienced moms would help me out a lot
Replyi am exactly 38 weeks today! i will be having my little guy next week! i am nervous and excited and just all these emotions at once! have been having some contractions and talked to my doctor about the plan if i was to go into labor before my induction date! but i cant wait to meet the little guy!! he is really low to where it hurts to walk!! but i have to keep moving for my health and his for the big day!! 😀
ReplyI will be 38 weeks this Sunday and I’m already dilated to a 3 with my fifth baby can’t wait to be induced soon
