Week 40

Woo-hoo! You made it to 40 weeks! Your baby is 20.4 inches long this week and weighs 7.6 pounds. Around this time, babies rapid growth slows and their bones continue to harden. Their nails are growing quickly and while they are developed enough to enter the world, they might not be ready just yet.

You may be experiencing Braxton Hicks or even legitimate contractions. Your cervix is getting ready! You may also be experiencing leaky boobs and a general (likely massive) discomfort. Hang in there!
