This gives your fetus a more straightened-out appearance. Speaking of ballet, it'll be years before you'll start nagging your offspring to stand up straight - but unbelievably, she is doing it right now, without any prodding! No slouch anymore, your baby's neck is getting longer, helping her head stand more erect.
They are now ballet-like, smooth and fluid. Now the size of your clenched fist, she's on the move almost constantly - and those movements are a far cry from those jerky twitches of last trimester (though you won't feel any of them for weeks to come). Growing by leaps and bounds, your baby is leaping and bounding. How big is my baby at 14 weeks?Īt 14 weeks, your baby is growing and developing rapidly, measuring between 3 ½ and 4 inches long and weighing around 2 ounces, about the size of a navel orange. Only 5 months left to go! Still have questions? Here's some more information on how weeks, months and trimesters are broken down in pregnancy. If you're 14 weeks pregnant, you're in month 4 of your pregnancy. If a loud noise shakes the comfy confines of his restful roost your little chicken will actually startle.
If you were to poke your belly, for instance, your little wiggle worm will wriggle away from the intruding finger. Each one controls the opposite side of the body.so if you see your little one sucking his right thumb - something he can do now - it’s the left side of his remarkable brain telling him how to do it.Īnd thanks to all that new brain power, your baby has started developing reflexes. As those amazing cells multiply, the brain develops into two distinct halves - the left and right hemisphere. Underneath that emerging head of hair is your baby’s rapidly growing brain. The real locks that are growing on top of his cute head will stay put, though hair color may change right up to birth. But don’t be surprised if your honey’s still kind of hairy at birth, especially if he arrives early. Once he accumulates some insulating fat and fills out over the next few months, most of the lanugo will shed. Called lanugo, this downy coating covers the fetus, primarily to keep him cozy and warm until he packs on a few pounds. There’s another important development afoot as your little Sasquatch sprouts hair not just on his head but all over his itty-bitty body. He may still be the size of a fist, but he’s not shaped like one anymore. In just a month or two, you’ll get to experience those tiny dance steps for yourself, in the form of those very first flutters! Baby’s posture is improving, too - his neck is getting longer and his head more upright. This week your tiny dancer trades in the sudden jerky reflexive movements of last trimester for smoother, more fluid moves.
