Your baby
The baby's head is fully engaged and does not seem very happy about the lack of space. In the last weeks of pregnancy, babies' faces are increasingly expressive.
Your weight gain may have slowed, but your baby could still be gaining 1oz a day.
You
Practise your breathing exercises and your birth positions and pack your hospital bag, if you haven't done so.
But remember, only 5% of babies are actually born on their due date!
