Mom, I'm like a leek (49.8cm, 3083 grams)

I'm fully prepared for life outside the womb - every system in my organism functions independently and efficiently. Lungs are fully mature, heart pumps blood effectively, kidneys filter fluids, and the digestive system is ready for first meals. Most vernix has disappeared, and skin is smooth and pink. I'm intensively sleeping, accumulating energy needed for birth and first days of life. The skull purposely remains soft and flexible - fontanelles (places where skull bones haven't fused) will allow adaptation to the birth canal during delivery.

Remember mom, every child develops at their own pace and has their unique timeline. If you have any doubts about my development in your belly, consult with a doctor.
