By the beginning of the 32nd week of pregnancy, you are into a phase when any indication or pain could be labor pain. The question is, how to know if the pains are actually the final ones.
The child's vigorous movements, technically referred to as Braxton Hicks contraction, further mystifies the puzzle of real pain. About 15.8 inches tall, the baby weighs approximately three pounds ten ounces in this stage of pregnancy. The wrinkles from the child's skin are disappearing and there is a strong chance that the baby even if born now, would be medically healthy. Minor issues like nursing or sucking could be a problem with premature babies. The five senses are completely functional and the child is settling in a head down position for birth.
How About You??
Continual movements will make you wonder if these are real contractions. For first time mothers, it isn't really easy to find out if the contractions are indicative of final labor pains. A few indicators that can help solve the riddle are, dropping of the baby, diarrhea, upset stomach, increase in practice contractions, weight loss, increase in blood pressure and like everybody suggests, you will know when it is about to happen.
This phase of pregnancy is not really prone to any major complications before childbirth. For informational purposes, please note that placenta previa is a rare complication that few pregnant women might face during this time. In this situation, the placenta completely or partially blocks the cervix. Another uncommon condition related to the placenta is abruptio placenta which is when the placenta separates from the uterus. Immediate pain and bleeding are signs of this problem. Apart from these issues, constipation and indigestion are the common problems that prevail during this week of pregnancy as well.
