Weekly Pregnancy Update: Week 32

Week March 28 – April 3

Week 32 Pregnancy Photo

How far along am I?

32 weeks

How big is the baby?

The size of a squash.

How much weight have I gained?
Pre-pregnancy weight: 130lbs Current weight: 150 lbs

I’ve gained a total of 20lbs so far.

*I will update after every doctor’s appointment as their scale is more accurate than the one at home.

Doctor’s Appointment Update

Everything was fine at the doctor.  My blood pressure is fine and so is my weight gain.  My stomach is measuring the same as last doctor’s appointment which I believe was around 30 cm.  Baby’s heartbeat is in the 150’s.  Her size is fine and the midwife thinks that she may be around 4lbs.  She is in the head down position and hopefully stays that way.  Everything is everything!  At the ultrasound last week I found out that she has lots of hair which would explain this random heartburn I’m getting now. Aw, can’t wait to see my baby!

Maternity Clothes?

I have a couple of pairs of maternity jeans, leggings, and shirts. My regular jeans are much too tight to wear at this point and now a lot of my regular shirts are too tight or will show my belly waaah.

Stretch Marks?

None yet. I’m using cocoa butter and lotion to help prevent.

Movement?

Maaaaaan it’s like she is moving ALL the time these days except for when I want her to LOL

Exercise?

NOPE LOL.

How am I sleeping?

Horribly LOL

My best moment this week

Seeing baby on ultrasound even though she didn’t want to cooperate!

Do I miss anything?

Being able to sleep through the whole night.

Belly button in or out?

It has officially popped!

Wedding ring on or off?

Still on, but I really need to take this engagement ring off and put it on my necklace.  I think my band can stay on a little longer…it’s not as tight for some reason.

Food cravings?

Sweets!

What am I eating?

I’m eating pretty much the same things, but trying to add in more fruits, veggies, and fiber!  I’ve been doing better with my water.

How do I feel? Symptoms?

TIRED! Trouble sleeping. A lot more braxton hicks. Shortness of breath.  Super dry skin. Back aches. LEG CRAMPS.  Stomach itching…like why? LOL Sore boobs…don’t think I mentioned it in any of the previous weeks LOL, but they have been sore since week 5.  Sometimes they are not that sore and other times they are super sore!  They are also bigger of course.

Have I started to show yet:

Yes!

Am I happy or moody most of the time?

Moody…happy…moody…happy

What am I looking forward to?

Baby shower next week!
