By the 30th week of pregnancy, 30-35 percent of the babies are positioned in the tummy head up. When the baby has lack space in the tummy, he/she turns up his legs up about 35-36 weeks of gestation and positions his/her head to cervix (the head is placed in the bottom of the pelvis, this is the natural position of the fetus), but there are cases when the baby does not turn up until the birth (3 -4 babies from 100).

Your baby gets more oxygen, glucose and other vital substances from the placenta. About 70 percent of these substances enter the brain. In the last few weeks, the baby’s intestines have accumulated unnecessary substances that have been swallowed with fetal waters. It is a green-black substance, a child’s stool called meconium.
The child already has consciousness and coordination. Your child is ready to come to the world. On average, pregnancy lasts 266 days if we count from the last menstrual period. And in fact, only one in twenty babies is born on time calculated at the beginning of pregnancy. If this happens 2 weeks earlier or later, it is normal and has no effect on newborn mental ability in the future.
