Happy Week 32!
Your baby's progress:
- Your baby weighs about 1.8 kilograms.
- All five senses are working.
- Toenails have grown.
- Your baby may not move around as much. This is because there's less space available in the uterus.
- The organs continue to mature.
- Your baby passes urine from the bladder.
Your progress:
- Haemorrhoids can become a problem because your growing baby presses down on the pelvic floor and impedes blood flow.
- You're probably gaining about 450 grams a week.
What to do:
- If you suffer from haemorrhoids, eat fibre-rich foods and avoid lifting heavy objects.
- Urinary infections can be a problem, so drink plenty of fluids.
Good to know:
- Keep up with your calcium intake. You and your baby need strong bones.
