Week 37: Full term

Three more weeks to go! Baby Bear is now considered full-term at 37 weeks, so if Baby Bear was to be born this week, she would thrive. But I really want Baby Bear to fully bake for another week or so.

Her lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb. Baby Bear is simulating breathing by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, sucking on her thumb, blinking, and pivoting from side to side. We have come a long way; she is almost here!!
