READY!!! When I get still to go to bed or nap, I feel painless contractions and downward pressure. These are unfamiliar for me and they scare me to death! I'd much rather be in the hospital than to have the possibility of going into labor at home/in the car/at church/anywhere but the hospital! Keep in mind, Sarah was in quite a hurry once the doctor broke my water. She came only 51 minutes later! I can't imagine having less than an hour to get to the hospital if my water breaks on its own!
Baby Center says:
Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she's over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.
Wondering what color your baby's eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she's born with brown eyes, they'll likely stay brown. If she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she's 9 months old. That's because a child's irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she's born, but they usually won't get "lighter" or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)
