Did you know that in week 14 your baby is already gesturing? The fetus grows rapidly. At 14 weeks pregnant she will weigh about 30 grams and measure approximately 10 centimeters. It looks like a miniature baby.
The yolk sac has already disappeared and its food comes from the placenta, an organ that grows with it and from which it will receive food and oxygen until after birth when the cord stops beating and sending it what is necessary to adapt to the world.
In the 14th week of pregnancy, the head remains disproportionate in relation to the body, although the baby is already perfectly recognizable as a small human. His facial features are becoming more evident and we could even see how he gestures with the muscles of his face, sucks his finger and his little hand.
He drinks amniotic fluid and pees inside his belly, waves his arms and legs, and seems to feel happy in his intrauterine life.
The mother in the 14th week of pregnancy
The 14 weeks of pregnancy will be much more bearable if you have had symptoms like dizziness and nausea before. In addition, the fact that the belly begins to be evident will be a reason for pride and joy, as it protrudes slightly without being heavy.
The breasts are considerably larger and quite sensitive. If you have not done so before, it may be the right time to buy a pregnancy bra, taking care that it has no underwire and that it is made of natural and breathable fabric. Some women reject that, in sexual relations, their partner touches their breasts, because it can bother them, being something completely normal.
New annoying symptoms can appear that with a healthy life, rest, walks and good nutrition can be controlled.
As the gut grows, the skin will have to stretch. In some cases, it will sting, and nothing better than keeping it well hydrated using suitable oils or specific creams without contraindications. In addition, our baby surely feels that pleasant and relaxing moment of the massage too.
Without obsessing, it is convenient to verify that the weight gain you have is adequate, calculating approximately one kilo per month.
Exercising during pregnancy is convenient, always within what is rational and in accordance with what we did before. Avoid exercises that involve excessive weight lifting and overloading the abdominal muscles. The best thing is to walk, swim, ride a bike or do prenatal yoga, which will help us stay flexible, keep in good physical shape and feel well.
