Recent developments

My dear intelligent child, may I remind you of this oath between you and Allah:

Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiimmmm,

Surah Al-A'raf (verses 172-173):

And when your Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their backs, their descendants, and made them bear witness against their own souls: Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes! we bear witness. Lest you should say on the day of resurrection: Surely we were heedless of this.

Or you should say: Only our fathers associated others (with Allah) before, and we were an offspring after them: Wilt Thou then destroy us for what the vain doers did?

To future Muslim parents who are expecting a child or already with children, here are some prayers that we all can recite (look them up!):

Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiimmmm,

Surah Al-Baqarah (verse 128) - praying so that our children are obliged to Allah:

"Our Lord! make of us Muslims, bowing to Thy (Will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Thy (will); and show us our place for the celebration of (due) rites; and turn unto us (in Mercy); for Thou art the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

Surah Ali-Imran (verse 38) - praying so that we are granted with good offspring:

There did Zakariya pray to his Lord, saying: "O my Lord! Grant unto me from Thee a progeny that is pure: for Thou art He that heareth prayer!

Surah Al-Furqan (verse 74) - praying so that we are granted with offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes:

And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous."

Surah Ibrahim (verse 40) - praying so that our offspring never neglect their prayers:

O my Lord! make me one who establishes regular Prayer, and also (raise such) among my offspring O our Lord! and accept Thou my Prayer.

Here's fetal development according to http://www.babycentre.co.uk/ during weeks 37-39:

Your baby weighs close to 2.8 kg and may be about 50 cm long from head to toe. Your baby's head is now cradled in your pelvic cavity -- surrounded and protected by your pelvic bones. This position clears some much-needed space for his/her growing legs and buttocks.
********************************************
Your little one's organ systems are fully developed and in place, but the lungs will be last to reach maturity. The colour of your baby's eyes in the first minutes after birth won't last -- exposure to light changes a baby's initial eye colour. Most African and Asian babies usually have dark grey or brown eyes at birth -- their dark eyes becoming a true brown or black after the first six months or year.
********************************************

Anywhere between 2.5 and 3.8 kg is a healthy range for newborns. Your amniotic fluid, once clear, is now pale and milky from your baby's shedding vernix caseosa (a greasy, white substance which covers a fetus in utero and protects the fetus' skin). The outer layers of skin are also sloughing off as new skin forms underneath. Only 5 per cent of babies are born on their scheduled due date. Most doctors wait another two weeks before considering a pregnancy overdue.
