1. 14 Weeks Pregnant: Beginning Of 2nd Trimester

2. At 14th week, your baby is as size of a big
lemon. The biggest fetal development during
14th week is the ability of the fetus to exhibit
facial expressions.

3. Baby’s height is 3.5 inches and weighs 1.5
ounces.

4. Your baby’s posture is improving, his neck is
becoming more distinct and head more upright.

5. Baby’s arms and legs are growing to the length
that is proportional to the rest of the body.

6. As your baby’s brain cells are growing and
working, he/she can use his/her facial muscles
in making expressions.

7. The baby can frown, squint and react to external
stimulus. If you peek inside the womb you might
see the baby sucking his thumb.

8. At this period, a downy, ultra-fine hair called
lanugo begins to develop which covers the fetus
to keep the baby cozy and warm.

9. Once your baby accumulates some insulating
fat, most of the lanugo will shed.

10. Your baby’s brain develops into two distinct
halves, the left and right hemisphere.

11. Furthermore, the liver is starting to excrete bile
while the spleen commences in the production
of red blood cells.

12. Overall, the baby is flexible and active at 14th
week. However, mothers may not yet feel his
punches and kicks.
