Mommy, I'm like a small watermelon (50.7cm, 3288 grams)

This is probably our last week together in the womb! All systems function at the highest level of readiness. Lungs are fully mature and produce optimal amounts of surfactant. Fatty tissue comprises about 17% of body mass, ensuring excellent thermoregulation. My movements are more limited due to cramped conditions, but I'm still actively moving. The liver stores final reserves of glucose and iron. The immune system is strengthened with maximum antibodies received from you. I'm waiting for hormonal signals that will start labor - increased levels of oxytocin and prostaglandins.

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.
