Mommy

This is it! You've reached the end of the pregnancy daily calendar !

Remember that your due date is only an estimate. Most births don't take place on the exact due date . Babies can be born at full-term any time between weeks 38 and 42 (yes, 42!).

Your health care practitioner won't let you go beyond week 41 or 42. He or she will recommend being induced if the pregnancy has gone on long enough.

If you're waiting for your water to break before you go into labor , just remember that it is more common NOT to have your water break before labor. More often, the water must be broken by the doctor. If your water does break, the baby must be born within 24 hours in order to reduce the risk of infection.

Baby

Your baby weighs approximately 6-9 pounds (he or should obviously could weigh more or less - this is just an average).

The calendar may suggest that your pregnancy is now over, but your body - or your baby - will tell you when it's time! Good luck!
