My 32nd Weeks Pregnancy

Minggu ni usia kandungan dah masuk minggu ke 32.. Cepat betul masa berlalu.. I have another 8 weeks to deliver the baby.. Amat mendebarkan..

Week 32 of Pregnancy...

The baby is 30 weeks old. The baby measures about 29cm (11½ inches) from crown to rump and weights about 1.8kg (4 lbs). All the baby's five senses are working and he can now show off a new skill - turning his head from side to side. His organs are continuing to mature, his toenails are complete, and hair on his head still growing. He continues to practise opening and closing his eyes , but he sleeps 90 to 95 per cent of the day.

The baby's 'breathing lessons' continue to help his lungs to strengthen and mature. Recent studies have shown that this vital practise also encourages the lungs to produce more surfactant, the protein that's essential for the lungs' healthy development.. (Dr. Anne Deans - Your Pregnancy Bible)

As the pregnancy progresses the mother continue to put on weight and maybe doing faster than at any other time in the pregnancy. The uterus is approaching the highest position it will reach, with the top sitting about 12cm (5 inches) above the belly button.
