Week 36

• Your baby weighs about 6 lbs (2750g) and measures about 20.7 inches (46cm) in length. Crown to rump measurement is about 13.5 inches (34cm).
• Your baby now feels lower in your pelvis.
• Your baby continues to grow, kick, and move about.
• Your baby's face has filled out and the cheeks now look plump and full. Fat baby cheeks are caused by fat deposits, but also by powerful sucking muscles which your baby has been honing by sucking her thumb.
• Your baby's skull is firm, but it is not hard as it needs to give a little when it is passing through the birth canal.
• Your baby's head is probably down by now, but about three percent of babies present in a breech (bottom down) position.
