General information, not medical advice. Every pregnancy is different — bring questions to your OB or midwife.

Your baby at 32 weeks

The fetus practices breathing movements, toenails have grown in, and it is likely settling into a head-down position. Fat layers give the skin a softer, less translucent look.

How you might feel

With less room inside, you may feel constant pressure and need to urinate frequently.

This week's tip: Try pelvic tilts and good posture to relieve back and pelvic discomfort.
