- Any day now! By the end of this week, he is “full-term” and can be born two weeks before or after the expected due date.
- Meconium, a dark greenish substance, accumulates in his digestive tract and will be passed shortly after birth as his first bowel movement.
- His skull is not solid and has a “soft spot” on the top of his head that allows his head to mold and fit through the mother’s pelvis at birth.
- As a result, his head will be a pointed shape at birth, but will become more rounded a few days afterwards.
