37 Weeks of gestation

Continue to train baby to move his lungs, because the baby will breathe after birth.

Mom conditions:
Abdominal skin will get itchy, but should not be carded and quite rubbed with baby oil or lotion.

Baby's condition:
Baby will change position to prepare for childbirth, the baby will usually go down to the pelvis and the head will be facing in the direction of the birth canal.

This week, most of the fluff layer of lanugo and vernix caseosa loss (such as cheese layer that coats the body of the baby in the uterus and protect the developing skin) begin to disappear, although some still remain at birth. Baby will swallow them, along with other secretions, and all remain in the gut until birth. The black-colored mixture, called meconium, will be his first bowel movement.
