Mommy
On week 32 of your
pregnancy daily calendar
, your uterus is approximately 5 inches above your belly button.
Your uterus and baby are quite large now, and they are pushing all your organs out of the way! You may find it helpful to eat smaller, more frequent meals to off-set heartburn and indigestion.
Your
visits to the doctor
may be every two weeks at this point.
Braxton Hicks
may become more frequent. These may feel like painless contractions in the uterus, usually starting from the top of the uterus, and radiating downwards. They can last anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds. This is your body's way of preparing for the real thing!
Baby
Your baby is about 4 pounds, and is around 19 inches long from head to toe.
He or she is still practicing survival skills, such as sucking, swallowing, kicking and breathing.
The fat is piling up - your baby isn't so transparent anymore!
