Pregnancy Week by Week/Week 38: Vocal Cords
Week 38: Vocal Cords Development
At 38 weeks, your baby is making significant strides in development. One of the most remarkable milestones is the full development of the vocal cords, preparing your baby for that very first cry. This is a crucial step as it indicates readiness for breathing and communication outside the womb.
The lungs are getting stronger and producing more surfactant, a substance that helps keep the air sacs in the lungs open and ready for breathing after birth. Meanwhile, the brain and nervous system continue their complex development, ensuring your baby is ready for life outside the womb. Your baby is now about the size of a mini watermelon.
Your Body During Week 38
As your baby grows, your body is also undergoing changes. You may experience frequent urination due to the pressure on your bladder, leaky breasts as your body prepares for breastfeeding, and sudden jolting pains in the pelvis or groin. Additionally, you might notice more vaginal discharge or spotting as your body gets ready for labor.
Hati Health Tips for Week 38
- Be vigilant for any signs of late-pregnancy complications. If you notice anything unusual, book an OB-GYN consultation through the Hati Health website promptly.
- When urinating, try leaning forward to ensure your bladder empties completely, reducing the risk of infections.
- Reduce your intake of salty foods to help ease puffiness and swelling.
Staying informed and attentive to your body's signals is key during this final stretch of pregnancy. Use the resources available through the Hati Health website to support your health and well-being as you prepare to welcome your baby.
