Watch your baby develop in your tummy

In the pregnancy calendar at deverloskundige.nl you follow it weekly. You read and see how the baby is developing. And also what happens to your body per week during pregnancy.

From about the 35^e week you may be short of breath even more quickly. Your uterus will then reach its highest point. As a result, your lungs can become a bit constricted. And your baby? He'd better stay put. Although he is completely finished, he is still very small.

Is your baby in week 36 (or slightly earlier), he is still covered with a white, slippery layer of skin wax. It protects him so he doesn't dry out in the amniotic fluid. In the last weeks of your pregnancy, he loses this layer.

Do you want to give birth at home? Then you can do that from week 37. Your baby can be born any time now. But it could also take a few weeks. From week 38 is he completely ready, also in terms of weight. He's barely growing now. Well, come on then!
