Second Trimester

Week 14

Reviewed by Dr. Humaira Latif, OB-GYN & Ultrasound Specialist

Welcome to week 14 of your pregnancy. Here’s a gentle look at what to expect at 14 weeks pregnant — baby’s size, changes in your body, common 14 weeks pregnant symptoms and a caring tip from Dr. Humaira.

Baby's size

About the size of a lemon — 8.7cm.

What's happening

Baby can make facial expressions and may suck a thumb. Fine hair (lanugo) is starting to cover the body.

Your body

Bump is starting to become visible for many women.

Common symptoms

  • More energy
  • Mild backache
  • Round ligament pain
  • Nasal congestion
When to call your doctor
  • Heavy bleeding
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Fever
Dr. Humaira's tip

Start being mindful of posture as your bump grows — small changes now prevent bigger backaches later.
