At the end of this week, your baby will be considered full-term. (Full-term is 37 to 42 weeks; babies born before 37 weeks are pre-term and those born after 42 are post-term.) Most likely she's in a head-down position (nope - not that lucky). But if she isn't

Now that your baby is taking up so much room (who knew she could go all the way around the side of my waist?), you may have trouble eating a normal-size meal. Smaller, more frequent meals are often easier to handle at this point (soooooo true). On the other hand, you may have less heartburn and have an easier time breathing when your baby starts to "drop" down into your pelvis (hurry up kid, hurry up!). This process — called lightening — often happens a few weeks before labor if this is your first baby. (If you've given birth before, it probably won't happen before labor starts.)
