thirty-second week
In the 32nd week of pregnancy, due to the change in the position of the fetus and the bending of its head towards the lower parts of your abdomen, its legs are placed under the ribs, and in this condition, you may feel severe pains under your ribs. The pressure of the uterus will move the rest of your body. At this time, your belly is about 12 cm higher than your body and the length of the uterus is 31 cm. Progesterone slows digestion so your body can absorb more nutrients to pass on to your baby. You may notice your baby kicks more after a meal.
This week, your baby's height is 42.4 cm and his weight is 1702 grams. In this week, your fetus's ability to smell has increased, but due to the lack of air inside the womb, the fetus cannot yet smell anything. Your baby's skin starts to thicken and the baby's bones start to harden, except for the skull bone, which remains soft to keep the baby healthy at birth.
