          Your baby’s development

          Baby fat forms to keep your baby warm after birth.

          It’s the thirty seventh week of pregnancy, and final preparations in the womb have begun. You have a reason to celebrate: Your baby is considered full term. Here are a few changes she is experiencing:

          Her weight gain slows considerably, but she has just a little more room to grow.
          It’s the thirty seventh week of pregnancy, and final preparations in the womb have begun. You have a reason to celebrate: Your baby is considered full term. Here are a few changes she is experiencing:

          Her weight gain slows considerably, but she has just a little more room to grow.

          Essential fat (also called baby fat) will continue to form. This will round her out and help her stay warm after birth.

          If you have an ultrasound during the 3rd trimester, the technician might measure your baby’s head, stomach, and femur to estimate her weight (She probably weighs more than 6 pounds now).

          Your nutrition and health

          Eat right to sleep tight: nutrition and its role in quality sleep.

          The last few weeks of your pregnancy are an exciting time, which could lead to the occasional sleepless night. To help make sure your nutrition is helping you get a good night’s sleep rather than preventing it, here are some tips for the duration of your pregnancy:
          The last few weeks of your pregnancy are an exciting time, which could lead to the occasional sleepless night. To help make sure your nutrition is helping you get a good night’s sleep rather than preventing it, here are some tips for the duration of your pregnancy:

          Eat light dinners. Big dinners might make you drowsy and could also make you feel too full and uncomfortable, which can disrupt sleep patterns. Instead, try eating your biggest meal before midafternoon, and eat a light evening meal.

          Eat an evening snack. Choose a light grain-and-dairy snack, such as crackers with low-fat cheese and fruit, or low-fat yogurt with toast. Wait an hour before lying down.

          Things to think about now

          Your changing body.

          Starting now and in the weeks to follow, you might find that you can breathe easier. You also might begin to notice some big changes in your body:

          Your baby might move down into your pelvis, so some of your late-pregnancy symptoms could go away.

          Your baby might move down into your pelvis, so some of your late-pregnancy symptoms could go away.

          Less pressure on your digestive organs might alleviate heartburn and constipation.

          Digestion might be easier, too.

          Your shortness of breath might dissipate as your lungs now have more room to move.

          While you might feel less pressure in your upper body, you could feel more pressure on your bladder.

          Your final checkups

          During your 37th week, you, your partner, your baby, and your doctor are making final preparations for your baby's arrival. Your doctor sees you once a week until labor and delivery. Week 37 is a good time to finalize the details of your birth plan and to take time to relax.

          Your weekly exam likely will include:
          • A weigh-in
          • A blood pressure test
          • An analysis of your baby's activity and movement
          • A pelvic exam to check your baby's position, height of fundus, and cervix dilation and effacement
          • A check for preeclampsia, which is high blood pressure during pregnancy
          • A check for vision changes such as blurred eyesight or seeing spots, which could be preeclampsia symptoms. Mention any eyesight changes to your doctor.
          Getting ready for your delivery

          Take time at this visit to speak with your doctor about your questions or concerns, such as:
          • What are the signs of labor?
          • When should I go to the hospital?
          Between weekly appointments, let your doctor know if you experience vaginal bleeding or greenish-brown discharge, constant and severe abdominal pain, or decreased baby movement.

          What happens next week?

          Your baby’s checklist is all checking out!

          Organ functions will be at nearly full speed. His brain will be helping him refine breathing, improve digestion, regulate his heart rate, and prepare for eating.

          Breastfeeding Disclaimer 

          Breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. When thinking of using infant formula, a mother should be aware of

          1. the financial and social implications of formula feeding,
          2. the difficulty of reversing the decision not to breastfeed and
          3. the care that must be taken to prevent partial formula feeding from interfering with lactation.

          In addition, proper preparation of powder or concentrated liquid infant formula requires the use of boiled water for the purposes of mixing formula and cleaning implements and the manufacturer’s mixing instructions must always be followed. Improper mixing or preparation may make a baby sick. A healthcare professional should always be consulted before initiating formula feeding.
