Now your baby should come out anytime! He/she is about as heavy as a big watermelon.

It is not uncommon for doctors to induce labor at this time, as some of them may be worried that your baby may swallow the meconium, or the first stool passed inside the womb.

If you deliver anytime this week, your baby may come out a bit wrinkly with dry skin. The lanugo and vernix have disappeared weeks ago, which contributes to this temporary change. Fortunately, your baby will adjust and will soon take on a more baby-like appearance!

You should also expect your baby to have thicker hair and longer fingernails. Babies born past their expected date are also larger than those born earlier.
