Week 40

You
Although your due date has arrived remember that your labour may begin one or two weeks either side of
this date.

Your baby
By full-term, your baby should weight about 2.7 to 3.5 kg, although full-term babies can weight anything
from 2.5 to 5 kg, and measure 35 to 38 cm from crown to rump and 44 to 55 cm from the baby's head to
its toes. These are just average figures, and there can be wide variation in the measurements.
