My cousin is due this month. When I did the prenatal exam, I palpated that the baby's head is already engaged (meaning the head moved down to the pelvis). It means that in two or three weeks she will have her baby. I explained and showed her pictures of baby.
By nine months, most of the baby’s bones have hardened, although the skull is still pliable. She is shedding most of the downy covering of hair as well as the creamy vernix caseosa that covered her whole body. She spend the next few weeks just putting on weight.
Soon your baby settles down lower in your abdomen in preparation of birth and may seem less active. Skin is pink and smooth and the child measures 19 to 20 inches in length. Lungs are mature and at approximately 8 pounds the baby is ready for life outside your womb. Soon you’ll see her face to face!
