Hello from BabyCenter!
Good news: At this point your baby's lungs and digestive tract are nearly mature, meaning she'll do much better in the event of premature birth. Researchers also believe your baby can actually see in utero now, but no one knows exactly how much she can make out. Her eyesight continues to mature every week, and in a few months she'll be ready to see you up close and personal.

Drugs vs. Natural Childbirth: What's Right for You?
Of course you'd prefer a pain-free labor, but before you make your decision on medication, get all the facts:
Losing Your Marbles
Do you misplace your car keys, forget your appointments, and walk as if you're using a new pair of feet? Don't worry -- pregnancy is to blame.
The Safe Way to Stay Active
Don't give up on your workouts just because you're getting big; exercise prepares you for the hard work of labor ahead. But make sure you're not exercising too hard.
Have You Gotten a Car Seat Yet?
Most hospitals won't discharge your newborn if your car isn't equipped with a car seat.
Quick Tip: How to Catch Your Breath
"When I feel out of breath, I've found it helps to sit up very straight and arch my back a bit. This seems to open up my airway and let me breathe easier." -- M. Shultz
