37 Weeks

Your baby is now considered "full term," even though your due date is three weeks away. If you go into labor now, his lungs will likely be mature enough to fully adjust to life outside the womb. (Some babies need a bit more time, though. So if you're planning to have a repeat c-section, for example, your practitioner will schedule it for no earlier than 39 weeks unless there's a medical reason to intervene earlier.)
Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard).

Well, we are 37 weeks along and at this point it appears I have made life much too comfortable for Miss B because she is in no hurry to make her arrival.  I'm dilated to a 1 and made a little progress from last week, but not much else.  At this rate we might have an Easter baby or later!

You'll just have to wait. Does it stand for baby? Or something else?
