By week 39 of pregnancy, you’re nearly there!
At 39 weeks, the average baby weighs around 3.25kg and measures close to 51cm – but your baby may be shorter or longer, or lighter or heavier.
You may get people calling or texting to see if you’ve had the baby. It can be frustrating to have to say ‘not yet’ but keep in mind your baby is safe and comfortable inside.
You may notice more stretch marks towards the end of your pregnancy and be feeling more uncomfortable than before. If you’re having difficulty sleeping, read our tips for getting quality shut-eye during pregnancy. Some people also have a bloody show towards the end of their pregnancy which can be a sign that labour is imminent.
