Your baby's lungs mature throughout the 3rd trimester, and by 32 weeks she/he is much more likely to survive if born prematurely. Your baby makes breathing movements, even though the lungs don't work properly until birth. Fat stores are laid down in preparation for birth. Your baby grows fine hair and fingernails, the eyes open and close, and teeth may start growing under the gums.
