You may not be aware of it, but your baby is also preparing for the big day. Experts say that your baby, at this point, is sending hormones to your placenta, which is said to trigger labor.

How these hormones work together to achieve labor and delivery is an incredible process. In fact, during delivery, your baby’s body also releases stress hormones - in fact, even more stress hormones than any day in his or her lifetime!

These stress hormones are actually good for your baby, as this will help in the transition to the new life outside your womb. Remember that your baby will do a lot of adapting to a whole new environment, especially when those survival instincts and reflexes kick in!
