About This Appointment
|
|
|
It’s getting snug in there for your almost full-size baby, so
you may notice a change in movement as your little one has less
room to wiggle, squirm and maneuver. This week, make sure you
get answers to any last-minute questions about the logistics of
when and how to get to the hospital. Deep breath—you’ve got
this!
