her head was37.7cm

week 39

Well not long now.
SHe is due Wednesday ultrasound dates but period date is next Sunday.
I go back to hospital on Wednesday.

Week Thirty-Nine

• The lanugo has mostly disappeared, but you'll probably find a bit on her shoulders, arms and legs and in those protected little bodily creases. It will vanish completely on its own in time.
• Her lungs are maturing and surfactant production is increasing and fully prepared to take on the outside world!
• Your baby doesn't have much room to move and certainly mum agrees! Did you imagine 8 months ago that this wee one would be able to hook a toe in your ribs while elbowing your bladder? She certainly has grown!
• Her body continues laying on the fat stores that will help regulate her body temperature after birth. In addition to normal fat,she is accumulating a special "brown" fat in the nape of herneck, between her shoulders and around organs. Brown fat cells are important for thermogenesis (generating heat) during her first weeks.
• Your infant's weight is around 7.25 pounds (3288gm) and length is 19.9 inches (50.7cm).

no baby yet

Melody turned so now she's head down now so its a waiting game now

week 38

Not long now.

In fact I probably only have about 7 to 8 days.

Melody is breech. Bottom down legs up.

So I will be having a c section.

They are hoping to do it on the 13th or 14th of October find out for sure this Wednesday.

I don't sleep very well at night.
I am up every hour or so to the loo or sometimes just because I can't breathe.

Week Thirty-Eight

• If she is the "average baby," she weights 6.8 pounds (3083gm)and is 19.6 inches (49.8cm) long. (not my baby she is so much bigger then that)
  
• Have you noticed she hiccups a lot? Because there is no air around her, those breathing exercises cause amniotic fluid to get into her windpipe. The result? Hiccups!
• Your child's intestines are accumulating lots of meconium. Meconium takes on the role of being your baby's first bowel movement -- removing the waste that has accumulated.
• She may have a full head of hair now -- an inch or more long! Don't be surprised if it's an unexpected color. Some blond couples have dark haired babies; some dark haired couples have red-haired babies; some couples have babies with only peach fuzz! It may just persuade you to take a closer look at your family tree!
• Circumference of head and abdomen are about the same size for your baby. No wonder it's so hard to get a t-shirt over a newborn's head!
