You may go a little past 40 weeks, keep heart, you are at the finish line and be in close contact with your doctor.
What You should expect in Week 40
YOU DID IT! You made it to week 40 and if you haven’t met your little one by now, you and your doctors may be discussing a plan to induce labor!
There are also a few way to natural do so!
Those include, walking, having sex, nipple stimulation, acupuncture, acupressure, eating dates, spicy food, and castor oil!
And here’s another fun fact, all babies of any ethnicity are born with reddish-purple skin!
As BabyCenter reports, this is a result of your baby’s red blood vessels being visible through their skin. “Around 6 months old, your baby’s skin will reach its permanent color.”
At this point, the best thing you can do is listen to your doctor and enjoy these last few moments of pregnancy!
The next time we see each other, your beautiful little one will be in your arms!
