Week 32: Baby practices breathing. Thirty-two weeks into your pregnancy, or 30 weeks after conception, your baby's toenails are visible.

Respiratory distress syndrome, or RDS, in premature babies is one of the more common health problems caused by being born early. Immature lungs are the culprit in RDS, which causes difficulty breathing. The working parts of the lungs are the alveoli, tiny sacs in the lungs that inflate with air when we breathe. Alveoli are covered with tiny blood vessels that carry oxygen from the air we breathe to the rest of the body. In premature babies, the alveoli donât always work as well as they should.
