Baby Brother Good at Week 32 Gestation

Fetal Development:
The baby is up to four pounds now (or, in our case, we know he's over four pounds and growing!) and all five senses are functional. The toenails are completely formed and the hair on the head continues to grow.

Maternal Changes:
You may be visiting your care provider every two weeks at this point (next appointment for me is Thursday, May 22). Your uterus is measuring about 5 inches above your navel and is pushing your organs every which way causing heartburn, constipation, indigestion and breathlessness. Drink lots of water and eat adequate fiber to ease the constipation and eat frequent small meals to help the heartburn and indigestion.
