Your uterus has filled your pelvis and most of your abdomen, pushing everything else out of the way. Your center of gravity has shifted, so you may be clumsier than usual. It could happen soon or still be weeks away. Real labor also becomes stronger and more powerful as time passes. Your baby's length is about 21.5 inches from head to toe and it weighs about 7.5 pounds.
Boys often tend to weigh a little more than girls.
Reflexes are coordinated so the baby can blink, close his eyes, turn his head, grasp firmly and respond to sounds, light and touch. More lanugo falls out, but some may remain at birth on shoulders, folds of skin and backs of ears. Only 5 percent of all babies are born exactly on the due date. It may be more difficult for you to get a good night's sleep because it's hard to find a comfortable position, but try to rest as much as possible, with your feet up if you can. Even something light in your stomach can cause nausea.
