Had 32-week scan Tuesday 5th August and both girls are doing fabulously - of course :))))) They both weighed in at 1760-ish grams, so are equal on all counts. I must admit though although Doc says there's still lot's of fluid, there are just so many legs and arms and moving about, I don't know how she manages to scan them both without getting confused and measuring the same femur twice!
This is what happened in week 32:
Your womb and baby are now sensitive to heat, so when you put a hand on your belly you might get a kick or punch in return. All baby's have blue eyes at this point, the chromosomes will change it later. Survival rates from now on are good, 90% of babies born at 32 weeks survive premature births.
Your bladder feels permanently full, you might also feel light headed if you bend over or move too quickly. This is because your blood is pooling in your lower body, so try getting up very slowly.

your growing baby
Your baby now weighs 1800g! Her movements do decrease close to your due date as there is less space to move around but if there's a dramatic change notify your doctor. Your baby's muscles are constantly contracting and relaxing and her pupils respond to light. tips for dad
