Your Body at 32 Weeks

 At 32 weeks pregnant, there is aLONG list of symptoms you may be feeling and may continue to feel over the next 9 Weeks. You may be experiencing all of these or if you are one of the lucky ones, just a few. Either way, hang in there mama!  

Leg Cramps: If you are experiencing leg cramps at night, be sure to drink more water! Drinking an electrolyte infused water has been known to be a lifesaver when it comes to knocking out those pesky cramps and helping you get a better nights sleep.  

Heartburn: Sorry to say it, but this will continue throughout your pregnancy.  Tums and Roliads are a great way to calm the burn and are a great source of additional calcium.  Try to determine which foods cause more issues than others and avoid them. 

Braxton Hicks Contractions- Your body is gearing up for pregnancy! These practice contractions will be felt in your lower abdomen and will come at irregular intervals. 

Shortness of Breath: Don’t worry- not too much longer until baby drops and frees up some space for your lungs to breathe a little deeper!
