Your baby is the length of a Leek approximately 19.1 inches (48.6 cm) long from head to heel and roughly the weight of a small watermelon about 6.5 pounds (2.9 kg).
Your baby is now considered full term, meaning that she can be born any day. However, this does not mean your baby will stop growing. Quite the opposite — your little one continues to add fat to his or her body at the rate of half an ounce (14.2 grams) a day.
If labor starts now, your doctor will not do anything to delay it. Your baby is ready to make his or her entrance into the world!
We are having a little trouble with extra fluid (mainly in my ankles and legs) so baby really could come any day. I am being closely monitored to make sure we are not dealing with preeclampsia. So far, so good, no protein in my urine, my blood pressure is higher but not too high. I'm trying to take it easy and may have to stop working a little sooner than I thought. We'll see. I'll keep everyone posted.
