Week 32

WEEK 32




How far along? 32 Weeks, 6 days (Kinda late I know!)
Total weight gain: 16+ 
Maternity clothes? Maternity bottoms mostly still, too busy to shop right now so strechting my shirts will have to do lol
Stretch marks? none yet on the tummy
Sleep: getting up a lot during the night, super tired during the day. Looking forward to sleeping in this weekend...maybe lol
Best moment this week: Seeing our family and friends at the baby shower :) AND seeing our baby girl today (ultrasound). By measuring my belly, doctor said I should do an ultrasound because I'm measuring small (26 cm last week). Well, according to the ultrasound, her estimated weight is 5 pounds, 3 oz and she is measuring at 34 weeks, 2 days....We'll see what the doctor thinks about this next week lol

Miss Anything? breathing still...I never thought I had to work at it, sometimes I forget and run out of breath....not a good feeling!
Movement: yes, random kicks but I feel her move :) Daddy felt her before bed a couple of nights ago and he thinks it was her head since it was such a big movement. Hiccups too!
Food cravings: sweets and fruit still....lol oh and chocolate
Anything making you queasy or sick: not so much, feeling better bout that but it's still hard finding something to eat sometimes...nothing sounds appetizing
Gender: Girl

Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: shortness of breath, back pain (lots!), and very tired
Belly Button in or out? in, I think it will stay in
Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! Anxious, excited, nervous, but happy!
Looking forward to: Seeing my parents tomorrow and baby shower/moving next week!

Week Thirty Two: Reproductive development continues

You are 32 weeks pregnant. (fetal age 30 weeks)
  • The baby is 17 inches (43cm) long and weighs 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms).
  • The diameter of the head is almost 4 inches (10cm).
  • Under the skin the fat layer is getting thicker.
  • The toenails and fingernails are completely formed.
  • In boys, the testicles will be descending from the groin down into his scrotum.
During this time the baby sleeps most of the day. The uterus is getting to be a small space for the baby to move about, so you may have noticed a decrease in your baby's movements. The baby is still trying to move frequently but it just does not have enough room. The baby will turn its head from side to side and move its hands.

As space in your uterus becomes more cramped, your baby's kicks and other movements may seem less forceful. You may want to check on your baby's movements from time to time and do a kick count.

If your baby is a boy, his testicles are moving from their location near the kidneys through the groin on their way into the scrotum. If your baby is a girl, her clitoris is now relatively prominent.

The baby will now weigh about 4 pounds (1.8 kg). Half of your weight gain now will go directly to baby. If you are carrying twins or more, their weight increase will be slower than singletons because of the lack of room in the uterus.

Are you waddling? This is because the ligaments in your pelvis have softened, allowing your hips to spread in preparation for birth. If you find that the increased weight of your breasts is uncomfortable when sleeping try wearing a soft but supportive bra to bed.
