Second trimester · roughly month 4 · about 26 weeks to go

14 weeks pregnant

Everything Hello Belly has for week 14 — how your baby is developing, what your body is doing, and the small things that are easier to know in advance.

Your baby at 14 weeks

13–14 weeks

Your baby does not look like an alien anymore: look, it's a man, but very small. He has already formed all the internal organs, and the heart is pumping 23 liters of blood per day. His vocal organs are forming (oh, soon you will not be pleased about that...)

He also became more sensitive: responds to cold, light, sounds from outside. If you eat something sweet, he swallows the amniotic fluid very quickly and actively. The kid swims in his "house" pushing away from the walls of the uterus. Doctors say that it is impossible to feel it at such an early date, BUT WE FEEL EVERYTHING! Yep? ;)

Tell the baby how you love him, how was your day and what you think about the new film by Guy Ritchie: he is unlikely to understand, but he will definitely hear and rejoice: "Mommy loves me, Mommy talks to me!!"

Are you a yeti?
Congratulations, the second trimester has begun! The baby is also very happy about this: she actively makes faces and smiles because her facial muscles are already sufficiently developed to do this.
