Final answer:

By 32-35 weeks of gestation, the fundus of the uterus, which is often confused with 'funds' in the question, is located at or above the mother's belly button and extends towards her ribcage. This period marks significant fetal growth and lung development, preparing the fetus for birth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The term funds seems to be a typographical error, and the question presumably refers to the 'fundus,' which is the upper part of the uterus. By 32-35 weeks of gestation, the fundus can typically be found at or above the level of the mother's belly button, extending towards the ribcage. This is a time when fetal development is in advanced stages and the fetus is making final preparations for birth.

The fetus has likely reached full lung development around week 32, and critical weight gain is occurring, ensuring the baby will be able to maintain body temperature upon birth. The amount of amniotic fluid is reaching its peak, and movements may be more restricted but still felt as the baby has less space to move.
