Now that you\u2019re in the 32<sup>nd<\/sup> week, you\u2019re in the third trimester &#8211; the last leg of your pregnancy. 8 more weeks to go! Very soon you\u2019ll be holding your little one in your arms. ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, before you hold your baby in your arms, let\u2019s find out what the 32<sup>nd<\/sup> week of pregnancy unfolds for you and the baby developing inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"explore-your-baby-inside\">Explore Your Baby Inside\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time, you\u2019ve entered this stage of your pregnancy, the baby inside you would be completely formed and would look exactly like a small version of your newborn baby or a squash. You will be able to his or her eyebrows, eyelashes, and the hair on the head formed via an ultrasound scan. Moreover, he or she would weigh 1.6 &#8211; 1.8 kg and would be around 35 cm long from head to toe, around this time. That\u2019s not all!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The little one inside has accumulated fat under his or her skin and that is not transparent like it used to be in the past. Now it is opaque and your little son or daughter inside is looking plumber day-by-day.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>At this stage, they\u2019ve started shedding lunago (soft, fine hair covering a fetus) covered across the entire body.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>By this time, your little girl or boy has cultivated the art of sucking and swallowing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Although his or her lungs are not fully developed, your baby will inhale the amniotic fluid to practise breathing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>As far as your little one\u2019s movement is concerned, he or she\u2019s curled up inside your womb now and very soon he or she\u2019s going to settle in a heads-down and bottoms-up position. Such a foetal position is better during childbirth. Your baby\u2019s head must come out first. If not, you needn\u2019t worry! Very few babies are in the bottom-down or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/baby-breech-position\/\">breech position<\/a> by the full term.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Isn\u2019t that intriguing?

It will make you feel like you\u2019re in labour, but that is not true. Real labour has still some time left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your bowel movements might become a little difficult and infrequent, making you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/constipation-during-pregnancy\/\">feel constipated<\/a>, and having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/digestion-troubles-pregnancy\/\">heartburn<\/a>.
