At 40 weeks pregnant, your baby is small pumpkin sized as you reach your official due date. Only an estimated 5% of babies are born on their exact due date, so your provider may discuss next steps soon.
At 39 weeks pregnant, your baby is mini watermelon sized and considered full term, with organs ready for life outside the womb. Only about a week remains until your official due date, though 37 to 42 weeks is considered normal.
At 38 weeks pregnant, your baby is leek length as the lungs and brain keep fine-tuning ahead of birth. Lungs, brain, and liver are all still fine-tuning right up to birth, which for most is only about two weeks away now.
At 37 weeks pregnant, your baby is Swiss chard length and considered early term, with steady fat gain continuing. Now considered early term, baby could arrive any time from here — typically within about three weeks of a due date.

At 19 weeks pregnant, your baby is mango sized and developing vernix caseosa, a protective skin coating. Movements are getting stronger too — many people start feeling clear kicks, punches, and even hiccups.
At 18 weeks pregnant, your baby is bell pepper sized and hearing continues developing — loud sounds may even cause a startle. The body is covered in fine, downy lanugo hair, and early sleep-wake cycles are beginning to form.
At 17 weeks pregnant, your baby is pomegranate sized and starting to build fat stores under the skin. A thin protective coating is also starting to form on the skin to guard against the amniotic fluid.
