38 weeks pregnant

My wife is 32-years old and we’re expecting our first child soon. She is almost 38 weeks pregnant so I wanted to know at 38 weeks pregnant what one should expect? Apart from the everyday pregnancy struggles, is there anything else I should take note of? Will she undergo more pain? Someone guide me please.
