You and your baby at 32 weeks pregnant
Your baby at 32 weeks
By about 32 weeks, the baby is usually lying with their head pointing downwards, ready for birth. This is known as cephalic presentation.
If your baby is not lying head down at this stage, it's not a cause for concern – there's still time for them to turn.
The amount of amniotic fluid in your uterus is increasing, and your baby is still swallowing fluid and passing it out as urine.
