Updates on Wk 37
Alyssa weight around 3.2kg at wk 37. Semi-engaged. now counting down..
Week Thirty-Seven
-This week, the average size is about 6.3 pounds (2859gm) now and 19.1 inches (48.6cm) length.
-She is official full term now but can still benefit from extra days in the womb.
-Your baby continues to practice breathing movements. Isn't it amazing how she can breathe "under water?"
-Grasp is firm now. It won't be long until you'll feel that strong little fist confidently grasping your finger (or tightly clenching your hair)!
-A few weeks ago, your baby would move her eyes toward light. Now she turns towards light outside the uterus.
-" As the uterine wall stretches and thins allowing more light to permeate, he develops definite daily activity cycles. You will want to be sure to establish good patterns yourself at this time, thus encouraging them in your child. Ever heard of a baby getting his days/nights mixed up? Now's the time to try to avoid that!

Routine Check up at Wk 34
Baby now is 2.45 kg at Wk 34. Mummy lost 600g while baby gain 450g.
Week Thirty-Four
-Your baby acts completely like a newborn, with her eyes opened when awake and closed when sleeping. You may also find her settling into more of a routine for sleeping & awake times.
-She has learned to blink. She can also see more clearly when there is a bright light on your stomach and probably has the outline of all your organs memorized!
-Antibodies from your blood are being tranferred to him. These immunities continue to build until birth. Then breastmilk will add even more protection against disease.
-Your baby may have already turned to a head-down position in preparation for birth.
-If he is your first baby, he may be settling into the pelvis with his head pressing against your cervix.
-Fingernails have reached the end of the fingertips now. She may scratch her face even before she is born!
-Your little one's length is 17.7 inches (45cm) and weight is 4.7 pounds (2146 g).
