This week

Full term is here. Any day could be the day.

  • Considered full term
    From week 37 your baby is considered full term: ready for the outside world.
  • Lungs ready to sing
    The lungs are mature enough to breathe air, the final system to finish its preparation.
  • Borrowed defences
    Your antibodies keep crossing the placenta, packing an immune starter kit for the first months.

Written against the NHS week-by-week guide. A picture, not a measurement: every baby grows at their own pace.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION, FOR THE TWO OF YOU

“What does "being ready" mean to you?”

Every Sunday, Syncry asks you both one question like this. You each answer in your own words, and the answers become your book.
