孕婦生理變化
胎兒已往下降，胎位也已固定了。由於母親的腹壁與子宮壁已變得較薄，寶寶的手肘、小腳和頭部有時會清楚地在孕婦的腹部突顯出來，受空間的限制，胎動較少。孕婦會常感疲勞，背部痠疼與骨盆腔不適仍持續。
胎兒發育成長
寶寶身長約為50公分至51公分，坐長（頭臀長）約為32公分，體重則有2700公克。寶寶的腦正快速地發育成熟，他(她)還會眨眼睛；指甲長長，可能會超過指尖；腎臟已發育完全；肝臟也已能處理一些代謝物了。寶寶的身體會變得比較圓胖，臉上的皺紋消失。
注意事項
孕婦上下樓梯與洗澡時需注意安全。
第七次產檢
這星期需做第七次的產檢：
1.問診：有無不適症狀，如出血、腹痛、頭痛、痙攣、嚴重水腫等。
2.身體檢查：體重、血壓、腹長（宮底高度）、胎心音、胎位、水腫、靜脈曲張。
3.實驗室檢查：尿蛋白、尿糖。
＊醫生可以經過超音波或觸診估計出現在胎兒的體重，妳也可以請教醫師應如何正確地監測胎心和胎動。
＊下次產檢是於第三十八週。

At the end of this week, you're going to reach an important pregnancy milestone: Your baby will be considered full term! That means you could give birth very soon. Put any unnecessary travel plans on hold now in case you go into labor early. Many airlines won't let pregnant women fly close to their due dates for this reason. It's also time to start wrapping up projects at work, get an infant car seat if you haven't already done so (you won't be allowed to leave the hospital without one), and put finishing touches on the nursery. Your baby who now weighs about 6 pounds and is almost 19 inches long will continue to gain about an ounce a day until she makes her debut.
How your baby's growing
Your baby is still putting on the pounds — about an ounce a day. She now weighs almost 6 pounds and is a little less than 19 inches long. She's shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered her body as well as the vernix caseosa, the creamy substance that covered and protected her skin during its submersion in amniotic fluid. Your baby swallows both of these substances, along with other secretions, which will stay in her bowels until birth. This blackish mixture, called meconium, will become her first bowel movement.
At the end of this week, your baby will be considered full-term. (Babies between 37 and 42 weeks are considered full-term; a baby born before 37 weeks is pre-term and after 42 is post-term.) Most likely she's in a head-down position by now, which is optimal for a smooth delivery, but if she isn't in the next week, your provider may suggest scheduling an "external cephalic version," which is a fancy way of saying she'll try to coax your baby into a head-down position manually, by manipulating her from the outside of your belly.
How your life's changing
While your baby continues to grow and crowd your internal organs, you may find that you're not as hungry as you were a few weeks ago. Smaller, more frequent meals are often easier to handle at this point. On the other hand, you may have less heartburn and have an easier time breathing when your baby starts to drop down lower in your pelvis. This dropping — called lightening or engagement — is more likely to happen before labor if this is your first baby. When it does, though, you may feel increased pressure in your lower abdomen, making walking increasingly uncomfortable. Some women say it feels as though they're carrying a bowling ball between their legs, or as if the baby is going to fall out. (Don't worry, she won't!)
You might also notice that your Braxton Hicks contractions are a little more frequent now. Be sure to review with your practitioner exactly when and where to call her when you think your labor has started. As a general rule, you should call when you start having regular contractions coming every five minutes for about an hour. Of course, you'll want to call right away if you're not yet 37 weeks and have signs of preterm labor. You should also call without delay if your water breaks (or if you even think you're leaking amniotic fluid), if you notice a decrease in your baby's activity, or if you have any vaginal bleeding, fever, severe headaches, abdominal pain, or changes in your vision.
Even if you're enjoying an uncomplicated pregnancy, it's best to avoid flying during your final month, when you're more likely to go into labor. In fact, many airlines won't let women on board who are due to deliver within seven or sometimes 30 days of the flight.
