Week 32

  • At eight months of pregnancy, your baby may weigh nearly 4 pounds and is gaining about half a pound per week. Layers of fat are piling on under her skin. She has probably turned head-down in preparation for her coming birth. She is approximately 16.7 inches (42.4cm) long.
  • You might notice she's not moving around as much now. Don't worry! She is fine -- just running short on room. She still has plenty of growing to do though, believe it or not!
  • All five senses are working. Your little one is fascinated and practicing testing these out as much as possible!
  • Toenails are completely formed even though she may not be quite ready for a French manicure.
  • Hair on your infant's head continues to grow in. Some babies have a head of hair already; others have only peach fuzz.
  • Brain scans have shown that babies have periods of dream sleep (REM) starting around the eight month. What do you suppose your daughter is dreaming about?
