How the fetus is growing
By 39 weeks the baby is about 50.6 cm tall and weighs about 3.3 kg.
Earlier, the baby’s skin was quite clear and thin, but in the last weeks, the outer layer of the skin became quite strong and well-formed. It helps to protect the internal organs and maintain body temperature. The sticky liquid called ‘Vernix’ covers the baby’s skin and helps it to come out easily during delivery. However, sometimes the slippery layer called ‘vernix’ starts to disappear before delivery
