Baby's Growth and Development When You're 37 Weeks Pregnant

At birth, boys weigh more than girls on average.

When you're 37 weeks pregnant, you have a reason to celebrate. Your baby is considered full-term. These are a few changes she experiences:

  • Your baby's weight gain slows considerably, but she's got just a little more room to grow.
  • Essential fat (aka baby fat) will continue to form. This will round her out and help her stay warm after birth.
  • If you have an ultrasound during the 3rd trimester, the technician might measure the head, stomach, and femur to estimate your baby's weight.
  • She weighs more than 6 pounds.
