How many months is 14 weeks pregnant?

14 weeks pregnant puts you in month 4 of pregnancy. Week 14 is the first week of that month, which runs to week 17. Providers count in weeks; months are approximate.

How big is the baby at 14 weeks?

At 14 weeks, the baby is about the size of a peach, roughly 8.5 cm long and around 43 g. That is an average; healthy babies vary.

Can I feel the baby move at 14 weeks?

Probably not yet. The baby is kicking and moving its arms and legs, but it is still small and cushioned by fluid. Most people first feel movement between 16 and 24 weeks. People who have had a baby before tend to notice it earlier, while in a first pregnancy it's common to wait until about 20 weeks. The first movements feel like soft flutters or swirls. Not feeling anything at 14 weeks is normal.

What position is the baby in at 14 weeks?

At 14 weeks the baby lies low in your belly, inside the uterus just above your pubic bone. It is small and moves around a lot, so its position changes often and doesn't matter yet. Many babies lie sideways early in pregnancy, and most turn head-down by the third trimester. Position starts to matter late in pregnancy: if a baby is still bottom-first at 36 weeks, you'll usually be offered help to turn it.

Is cramping normal at 14 weeks pregnant?

Short, sharp pains low in the belly or groin are common from now on. They are usually round ligament pain: the two bands that hold your uterus stretch as it grows. They often come with sudden moves, like rolling over in bed, coughing or sneezing, and last a few seconds or minutes. Resting, changing position slowly and a warm bath can help. Call your provider about pain that is severe or won't go away, or that comes with bleeding, fever, contractions or unusual discharge.

Is brown discharge normal at 14 weeks pregnant?

The brown colour comes from a small amount of blood that has had time to darken before it comes out. In pregnancy, the blood vessels in the cervix change, so it can bleed a little after sex, for example. An infection can also cause bleeding. Normal pregnancy discharge is clear, white or creamy, so any bleeding is worth a call to your provider. Get urgent help if the bleeding is heavy, or comes with severe tummy pain, shoulder pain, or feeling faint or dizzy.

Are there symptoms of a boy at 14 weeks?

No. Researchers asked 104 pregnant women who didn't know their baby's sex to predict it. The shape of the bump, how much morning sickness they had, and comparisons with past pregnancies were not linked to the baby's real sex. Heart rate doesn't predict it either. From around now, a scan can sometimes show the genitals, but the mid-pregnancy anatomy scan, or cell-free DNA screening, gives a more reliable answer.

14 Weeks Pregnant

At 14 weeks pregnant, you're in the second trimester, and your baby is just under 9 cm long from head to bottom. The head is getting rounder and more in proportion with the body. The baby kicks, swallows fluid and has started to pee, though you probably can't feel any movement yet. At a checkup, your provider may now hear the heartbeat with a handheld monitor placed on your belly. Some people notice yellow spots of early milk, called colostrum, in their bra. This page covers what a 14-week scan can show, including the baby's sex, where your uterus sits now, and what cramps or brown discharge usually mean.

What trimester is 14 weeks?

Week 14 is in the second trimester, which runs from week 13 to week 27 (NHS). It is week 2 of 15 in this trimester, and the third trimester starts at week 28.

Baby development at week 14

Now well into the second trimester. The fetus can now squint, frown, and grimace as facial muscles develop, and may begin sucking its thumb. The liver and spleen start doing their jobs, and the body begins growing faster than the head, evening out the proportions. Fine downy hair called lanugo starts to cover the skin. About the size of a peach.

What an ultrasound shows at 14 weeks

Most people aren't scanned at 14 weeks. It falls in the gap after the first-trimester scan and before the anatomy scan, which is usually booked for somewhere between 18 and 22 weeks. A scan at this stage is usually done over your belly and can show the baby's profile, its arms and legs moving, and the heartbeat. The head-to-bottom measurement used to set due dates is most accurate up to 13 weeks and 6 days, so your due date is normally fixed from an earlier scan.

This week sits at the end of the window for first-trimester Down syndrome screening. The neck-fluid scan that is part of the combined test is done between 11 and 14 weeks. If you've missed it, you can have the quad screen instead. This is a blood test done in the second trimester: the NHS offers it from 14 weeks, and US guidance gives a window of 15 to 22 weeks. Cell-free DNA screening can also still be done. All of these give a chance, not a diagnosis.

Can you see the sex on a 14-week scan? Sometimes. The genitals have formed, and skilled sonographers can often tell them apart by now. In one study at a London specialist centre, experts called the sex correctly 70% of the time at 11 weeks, 99% at 12 weeks and every time at 13 weeks. A routine scan isn't looking for sex, and the baby's position can hide it, so the anatomy scan is where most parents find out.

Your body at 14 weeks

Energy and appetite returning
Nausea easing for many (for most it clears by weeks 16 to 20)
Mild round-ligament pain as the uterus grows
Greasier or spotty skin for some

Your belly at 14 weeks

At 14 weeks, the top of your uterus has just started to rise above your pubic bone. It was level with that bone at about 12 weeks, and it will be roughly halfway up to your belly button by 16 weeks. So the baby still sits low in your belly. In a first pregnancy, many people just look a little thicker around the waist, and bloating or constipation can make the belly look bigger on some days than others.

A second or later pregnancy often shows sooner than a first. A twin pregnancy tends to measure ahead too, because two babies need more room. If you're expecting twins, your early scan will also have checked whether they share a placenta. That result decides how often you're scanned from here on.

Tips for week 14

Many feel their best now — a good time for gentle activity and travel
Start pelvic-floor (Kegel) exercises if your provider approves
Shift toward sleeping on your side as the bump grows
