39 Week Pregnancy

Postby Admin on Sat Jan 12, 2008 3:20 am

Your baby weighs a little more than 7 pounds (3.25kg). By this point in your pregnancy, crown-to-rump length is about 14.4 inches (36cm). The baby's total length is 21.5 inches (48cm).

How Big Are You?
The image 39 week pregnancy shows a side view of a woman with a large uterus and her baby inside it. As you can see, she's about as big as she can get. You probably are, too!
If you measure from the pubic symphysis to the top of the uterus, the distance is 14.4 to 16 inches (36 to 40cm). Measuring from the bellybutton, the distance is 6.4 to 8 inches (16 to 20cm).
You're almost at the end of your pregnancy. Your weight should not increase much from this point. It should remain between 25 and 35 pounds (11.4 and 15.9kg) until delivery.

How Your Baby Is Growing and Developing
Your baby continues to gain weight, even up to the last week or two of pregnancy. It doesn't have much room to move inside your uterus. At this point, all the organ systems are developed and in place. The last organ to mature is the lungs.

Changes in You
It would be unusual for you notto be uncomfortable and feel huge at this time. Your uterus has filled your pelvis and most of your abdomen. It has pushed everything else out of the way.
At this point in pregnancy, you may think you'll never want to be pregnant again because you're so uncomfortable. Or you may be sure your family is complete. At this point, some women consider permanent sterilization, such as tubal ligation.

During labor and delivery your baby's heart rate may go through some changes. You will probably be experiencing multiple mood swings, varying from elated to worried to tired and excited. Many women are quite ready for delivery around 39 weeks pregnant. You should keep in mind the emotional roller coaster you are experiencing will continue for a short period of time right after birth.
