Week 39 Of Your Pregnancy

You may give birth before week 39 or later. Only about five percent of women give birth on their actual due dates.

Lifestyle Considerations

If your baby is taking its time to come out of the womb then it is a good idea to make things simple. Eat lightly, but until you are full and get plenty of rest. Take a walk for at least twenty minutes every day to keep yourself in shape and minimize symptoms of back pain.

Good Advice

Many women nowadays are raised to do everything themselves in order to be strong independent creatures. Now is the time to accept all of the help that you can get including allowing people to help you lift things, cook and do laundry.
