"Your little grower’s physical proportions are pretty much birth-ready
and most of their remaining development will largely be weight gain and
a ton of nervous system development.
The good news is: if your child were to be born premature, they’d
likely survive without much trauma as their lungs started producing
“surfactant” last week, which means their tiny respiratory system is
getting stronger with each passing day.
Yes, now’s a good time for a minor sigh of relief and a quick pat on
the back. All that hard work and conscientious living is really getting
your child prepared for a healthy delivery.
In mobile-fetus news: your baby should be scootching slowly
out of the breech position (head upright, with their butt-n-legs down by
your pelvis) and start rotating around for a head-first exit through
the birth canal.
If all goes well, and your little one isn't a contrary one, they'll be locked-n-loaded in the next few weeks!
Time is short (or really long, depending on who you ask) — just
(still!) 14 weeks left before you can go back to being a single-resident
human... with one tiny brand-spankin' new family member!"
