beginning of the third trimester your baby is able to survive, with or
without medical help, outside of the womb. The most weight gain takes
place during the third trimester as your baby grows the most rapidly
during this pregnancy stage and can gain up to 28g per day. The weight
gain shows in the size of your belly when you're 32 Weeks pregnant! The shape of your belly changes as
the belly drops due to the baby turning in a downward position ready for
birth. Your belly will drop down quite low and you will be able to lift
your belly up and down!
