What's happening at 34 weeks

Vernix is thickening. The protective coating that'll be on baby at birth.

What your baby is doing

Lungs are nearly fully developed. Fingernails have grown to the tips of the fingers. Baby may have a full head of hair — or not. Both are normal.

What's happening to you

Nesting instinct sometimes kicks in this week — sudden urges to organize, deep-clean, prepare. OB visits getting more frequent.

On the heartbeat

Heartbeat captures are easy and feel routine now. Try to record one with the date and a little voice note — "You were 34 weeks today." You'll want it.
