Pregnancy Calendar: Third Trimester >> Weeks 36 - 39*
"Headin' Down"
Hey Baby! Where U At?
Ain't no stopping you now! Baby, your vernix and lanugo are disappearing as you reach full maturity. You've probably turned by now and your head is settling into your momma's pelvis, which she probably thinks has widen beyond all comprehension. You are about 19-21 inches long and weigh about 6-9 pounds. We are all eagerly anticipating your arrival!
Maternal Observations and Unsolicited Advice**
If you're feeling the need to nest, a little baking soda or white vinegar mixed in water go a long way and are completely safe for you and the baby. Just, don't use both at once! These two natural cleaners are safe for your baby and good for the environment, so you can throw away those harsh cleaners with the nasty fumes. For more eco- and baby-friendly cleaning tips, check out the book "Clean and Green.
" There are probably also a million websites on the topic I haven't had time to notice. Don't forget to relax!

*Note: This calendar is based on the LMP (Last Menstrual Period) system of measuring the length of pregnancy as 40 weeks (±2 weeks) from the first day of the mother's last menstrual period. Subtract two weeks to get the fetus' approximate age in weeks. **Advice is from a total know-it-all mother of one who has no business giving advice to pregnant women, other than that she was once pregnant too. This calendar is provided for entertainment purposes only and should not even come close to replacing care from your prenatal health professional.
