At 37 weeks, your pregnancy is considered full-term. The baby's gut (digestive system) now contains meconium – the sticky, green substance that will form your baby's first poo after birth. It may include bits of the lanugo (fine hair) that covered your baby earlier in pregnancy. Get ready for labour When to go to the hospital or birth centre If it's your first pregnancy, you may feel unsure about when you should go into hospital or a midwifery unit. The best thing to do is to call your hospital or unit for advice. If your waters have broken, you'll probably be told to go in to be checked. If it is your first baby and you are having contractions but your waters have not broken, you may be told to wait. You'll probably be told to come in when your contractions are: regular strong about five minutes apart lasting about 45-60 seconds If you don't live near your hospital, you may need to come in before you get to this stage. Make sure you know the signs of labour and what happens. Second babies often arrive more quickly than the first, so you may need to contact the hospital, midwifery unit or your midwife sooner. Don't forget to phone the hospital or unit before leaving home, and remember to take your notes. If you are planning a home birth, follow the procedure you have agreed with your midwife during your discussions about the onset of labour. Make sure you know the signs of labour.
