Week 38

This is the week in which Baby begins to outgrow the watery home where he's been developing these past nine months. Baby should weigh almost seven pounds this week, but at a length of about 21 inches, Baby hasn't grown much taller. The average full-term newborn weighs between six and nine pounds and is 18 to 21 inches long.
Here are a few other developments this week:
* Although Baby's growth is slowing, fat will continue to accumulate to help insulate Baby even more for his entry to the outside world.
* Meconium (Baby's feces) will continue to build up in his intestines.
* By now, the circumference of baby's head and abdomen are about the same. (verybestbaby.com)
