You\u2019ve made it to full term! This means delivery could happen any day now. If you\u2019ve made it this far, your babies may avoid a NICU stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your thoughts are probably racing with last-minute concerns, so let\u2019s address them quickly and try to set your mind at ease. The big day is just about here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are the babies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s essentially just a waiting game at this point \u2014 both for you and your babies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your little ones are now fully developed. While their brains and other organ systems continue to fine-tune development, they’re spending their days practicing breathing and putting on a bit more weight to make for smooth sailing once they\u2019re out of the womb. They\u2019re also undoubtedly excited about your first snuggle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your babies weigh around 6 lbs each now \u2014 can you believe how much they\u2019ve grown?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you doing? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s an old joke that says every month of pregnancy has about 30 days, except the last month, which has 1,000. It\u2019s normal to feel like time passes at a snail\u2019s pace as you get ready to meet your babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You already know life is about to get quite busy, so try to enjoy your downtime by starting a new show you\u2019ve wanted to watch or reading a book you\u2019ve stuck up on a shelf. You might also enjoy writing letters to your babies for them to read when they\u2019re older, or even a blog post recapping your pregnancy experience. Go on a couple extra dates if you can squeeze them in!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big changes are just around the corner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What testing will be done this week?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You will likely have some NSTs or Non Stress Tests performed in the final weeks of your pregnancy. Non-stress tests provide information about your babies\u2019 wellbeing by checking their heart rates and how they correlate with their movements. The results of these tests will help determine whether any further testing, ultrasound evaluation, or even delivery should be the next step.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You do not have to make special preparations for these tests. They will be done with you relaxing in a reclining chair or exam table and typically take about 20-30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
