You are now 37 weeks pregnant!
WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOU
Congratulations! Even though you are about three weeks from your due date, if your baby weighs over 5 1/2 pounds and you finish the 37th week, he or she is considered full term. In most cases, nothing will be done to stop your labor once it starts, and at this point you're probably counting the days until that's supposed to happen, according to your due date. Remember that only about 10 percent of babies are born on their due date -- including those with a one determined by ultrasound! Don't set yourself up for disappointment by concentrating heavily on the "magic" day.


WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOUR BABY
Gaining half an ounce to one ounce each day, your baby is growing rapidly. At this stage, most are larger than 5 pounds, 8 ounces, and have enough fat stores to keep their temperature stable in the extra uterine environment. As strong as your baby is now, she's still susceptible to infection during delivery, so your health-care provider will give you a Strep B test this week (if she hasn't already). This bacteria is harmless in adults but can be very unhealthy for your baby, so it's best if it's caught before you go into labor.
