Week 39
Still here huh? Don't fret, your time is near. Slow, long walks may help to bring on labor.
Often, women will
lose their mucus plug 1-2 weeks before delivery. If it is streaked with
blood, that is known as the "bloody show".
Usually, once this occurs, labor will begin within
the next day. You should expect to eat several small meals throughout
the day, as you no
longer have room in your stomach for large meals. Breathing will become increasingly harder
as your
uterus expands, so whatever you choose to do, take it slow as to avoid becoming out
of breath. For now, you should put
your feet up and get plenty of rest, you will need lots
of energy when the big day arrives!
