Pregnancy Weekly Guide

[Week 37 Mother] It feels so much better when the baby descends.

Your baby continues to get bigger, but the amount of amniotic fluid may decrease somewhat, and as your baby's head descends into your pelvis, your stomach may drop a little and eating becomes a little easier.

You may have a small amount of bleeding (vaginal discharge) as your cervix opens, which means labor is imminent.

Preparing yourself physically and mentally is a good idea, such as by packing your birth bag.
