Pregnancy Week by Week/Week 37: Preparing for Birth
Week 37: Preparing for Birth
At week 37, your baby is busy practicing essential skills in preparation for birth. They are inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, blinking, and turning from side to side. Their head continues to grow, and they are steadily gaining weight to get ready for the outside world. Your baby is now about the size of a canary melon.
Your Body During Week 37
As your baby develops, your body is also preparing for labor. You may experience more frequent Braxton Hicks contractions, which are your body's way of rehearsing for the real thing. It's common to notice leaking breasts when stimulated, such as during exercise or intimacy. Some vaginal discharge or spotting may occur, along with lower back pains as your cervix begins to dilate.
Hati Health Tips for Week 37
During this time, it's important to take care of yourself and prepare for your newborn's arrival. Consider getting an exercise ball to help with comfort and labor preparation. Decorating the nursery can be a joyful way to get ready, and planning a baby shower is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate this exciting time with loved ones.
Don't forget to schedule your baby's hearing test, an important step in ensuring their health and development after birth. These preparations will help you feel more confident and ready as you approach the final weeks of pregnancy.
Stay positive and take each day as it comes. Your body and baby are working hard to get ready for the big day!

Complete Blood Count with Platelet Count
The Complete Blood Count with Platelet Count (CBC with Platelets) is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates overall health and detects a variety of conditions by measuring key components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. This test is essential for diagnosing conditions such as anemia, infections, and blood disorders, with the platelet count specifically assessing the number of platelets critical for blood clotting. By providing a thorough overview of blood health, the CBC helps guide further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
Healthcare professionals typically recommend that individuals undergo a CBC test annually to facilitate the early identification of potential health concerns, often before symptoms appear. However, the frequency and types of blood tests may vary based on factors such as age, sex, medical history, and family risk factors, with some individuals requiring more frequent monitoring as they age.

Ultrasound (Pelvic)
A pelvic or gynecologic assessment provides a comprehensive examination of the female reproductive organs and pelvic area, involving visual inspection, palpation. The pelvic ultrasound is performed by placing a transducer on the abdomen or inserting a smaller transducer into the vagina to capture detailed images of the uterus and surrounding structures. This scan is particularly useful for identifying abnormalities in the uterus, including endometrial conditions, fibroid tumors, cysts, and other pelvic masses, making it valuable for managing issues like endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
For optimal results, it is recommended to schedule the pelvic ultrasound between days 5 and 10 of your menstrual cycle, with day 1 marking the start of your period, unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare provider. This assessment is crucial for the early detection of gynecological issues, infections, and reproductive health concerns, helping to ensure women's health and well-being through regular examinations.
