What's happening at 37 weeks
Officially "early term." Baby is ready for the world.
What your baby is doing
Baby's grip is strong enough to grab onto a finger if born now. They're practicing breathing, sucking, swallowing — all on their own.
What's happening to you
Cervical checks may begin. Possible loss of mucus plug. Bursts of energy alternating with deep tired.
On the heartbeat
Heartbeat is firmly in third-trimester territory — strong and steady. Record one tonight. You're closer than you think to never hearing it from the inside again.
