Length = 19 - 20 inches
Weight = 6lbs
During week 37 of pregnancy, fetal development that is occurring includes the following:
- Your baby continues to develop fat at the rate of half an ounce a day
- Your baby is getting rounder every day
- Your baby's skin is getting pinker and losing its wrinkly appearance
- Your baby continues to practice breathing movements.
At this point in pregnancy, if your baby is born, he or she is considered mature. This of course does not mean that he or she is done developing. For example, during the next couple of weeks, whether inside or outside the womb, he or she will continue to put on fat.
Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.
