32 weeks of pregnancy - the baby is already big. He has a weight of 1700-1800 grams. The length is 42 cm. Wrinkles on face almost flattened. On the feet and hands are real nails, and on the head hair or a noticeable fluff. His skin became soft, his legs plump, and the head - proportional to the body.
What does the baby do?
He still spends most of his time in a dream. At the same time, 40% of sleep is a rest period, 42% is a period of active rest, when he involuntarily wags his arms and legs. Approximately 10% of the time the baby goes into active wakefulness when he moves. Often this period falls on the evening hours of my mother's sleep. The rest of the time is a passive wakefulness.
How His heart works.
The heart is almost completely formed. But there are still battles of the duct - a hole between the atria, left and right, in the form of an oval. A little more, and it will close. Blood circulates in the fetus, arterial with the venous.
How He breathes.
This is a particularly important point. After all, if he is born before the term, incompleteness of the respiratory system can give respiratory distress, the so-called hyaline-membrane disease, in which the child can not breathe on his own.
Prepare for a special test for the presence of phosphoglycerides, with which you can determine the predisposition of the crumbs to this disease of the newborn.
Do not worry: obstetricians and pediatricians know how to provoke independent breathing, even in premature infants.
What does He know about Mom?
The kid already hears everything that happens around him. He distinguishes light and darkness: if direct light hits his eyes, he narrows them. He distinguishes the knock of my mother's heart. He will know your voice.
Pregnancy calendar: fetal presentation.
Many children at this age have already turned heads down, they are also preparing for the main event - the birth. The fetal head is the largest part of the body, advancing, it prepares a safe exit of the whole organism.
If he has not yet turned over - he still has time to do it. Only 3% of children remain in the state of pelvic presentation, when the head comes out last. This is not safe, so the doctor can do the so-called "external turn" or resort to caesarean section.
What does the expectant mother experience at the gestation period of 32 weeks?
In addition to happiness expectations, natural fatigue, fatigue. Internal organs shifted somewhat, the volume of blood in 32 weeks increased almost by 1.5 times, weight by 11 kg. The stomach became large. Possible swelling of the ankles and fingers, heartburn, pain under the ribs, even shortness of breath.
Therefore, you need to rest more often, allow yourself a day sleep. Walk more, breathe fresh air. It is necessary to take vitamin - mineral complexes.
Pressure on the bladder leads to frequent urination, so you should limit the intake of fluids at night. To eat food is recommended in small portions, to sleep, having risen, on high pillows.
If you have pain in the lower back, you should immediately inform your doctor. Perhaps this is a signal of premature birth.
Pregnancy calendar: 32 weeks, and if the baby is not alone.

Heredity on the maternal line makes the probability of twins birth twice as often as heredity in the male line. A triple is observed in every 8000th case.
