32 Weeks Pregnant!

Argh 8 weeks to go, how exciting, but how scary!

All's been well with us - apart from my horrendous heartburn. Think that's been down to my chilli and chocolate consumption though.

We have news on the house front, but I'm not going to get too excited about it until we receive the phone call confirming the news. I'll let you know when we get it!

First Ante-Natal class tonight, I dreamt about it last night - hope it's nothing like it was in my dream, bunch of freaks!

Bump pic will have to come over the weekend, but meanwhile, here's what Babycentre says for week 32... "Your baby's arms, legs and body continue to fill out — and they are finally proportional in size to her head. She weighs about 4 pounds/1.8 kilograms and looks more like a newborn. She measures about 18 inches/ 45 centimetres from crown to toe.

You may notice your baby isn't moving around as much. Don't worry; she's just running out of space in your uterus. As long as you can feel her squirming, you'll know she's just fine. Believe it or not, she still has plenty of growing to do. You can expect her to gain at least two more pounds/900 grams before delivery.


Your baby's organs are continuing to mature and she is passing water from her bladder: good practice for the urinating she'll do after she's born. Soon you can wonder what your baby is wishing for — brain scans have shown that fetuses have periods of dream sleep around month eight.


You've probably gained three to four pounds / 1.3 to 1.8 kilograms this month. Gaining a pound/450 grams a week is quite normal during the last trimester as your baby has a final growth spurt before birth."
