Pregnancy - 32
Your baby
Your baby is now about 42cm long and weighs 3lb 7oz. All his systems are well developed with the exception of his lungs and digestive tract, which need a few more weeks yet.
When he’s awake his eyes are open and he’s doing lots of things that a newborn baby would do, like grasping at his feet and umbilical cord, and sucking his thumb. He also makes lots of facial expressions… and you’re probably by now fascinated to see what he’ll look like when he’s out!
You
Looking after your immune system will help to keep you strong during your pregnancy. Healthy eating, regular exercise and plenty of regular sleep will all boost your immunity during these 40 weeks.
When it comes to your diet, choose foods rich in anti-oxidant vitamins – fruit and vegetables rich in vitamin C, tomatoes and tomato sauces rich in lycopene (another powerful anti-oxidant), as well as adding brightly coloured fruits and vegetables to salads and cooked dishes.
Go for bananas, garlic, onions, leeks and tomatoes as a source of prebiotics –compounds that boost your natural immune defences.
