🌱 Baby's development at 32 weeks

Toenails and fingernails are fully grown. Your baby is practicing breathing movements.

🤰 Your body at 32 weeks

Your baby may start to "drop" into your pelvis, giving you slightly more breathing room — but increasing pressure on your bladder. Every trip to the loo counts.

✨ Did you know?

Your baby practices breathing movements for up to 40% of the time — even though their lungs are filled with fluid, not air.
