Pregnancy week by week · Third trimester

32 weeks pregnant: what's happening

From Brittany Ryan, Founder and Mom of Two

Your baby is practicing breathing, swallowing and coordinated movements. Fingernails and toenails continue growing. Many babies are positioned head-down by now, while others turn later.

What's ahead

Leg cramps become more common in late pregnancy and often seem to appear at the least convenient times, usually overnight. Gentle stretching and movement throughout the day may help some parents stay more comfortable.

A memory to keep this week

Brittany Ryan

Founder and Mom of Two

Brittany is a mom of two with a background in early childhood development. Little by Little Together began with a beautiful, blank baby book. Like so many parents, she bought baby books with every intention of filling them; instead, they sat in a closet while life kept moving. So she built a personal assistant for parenthood that tells you what matters right now, offers one simple idea at a time, and keeps your story safe.

“You don’t have to remember everything at once. Little by little, there is a story worth keeping.”
