Starting from the 14th week the kid can already do a lot of things, for example, screw up his eyes, make faces and frown, sometimes even suck a finger. At this time the excretory system functions and the fruit pisses, if it can be called so. Allocations fall into the amniotic fluid, and then are discharged with it.
Term of 14 weeks of pregnancy: how does the baby change?
The height of the baby is about 9 cm, if counted from the top of the head to the tailbone. The head begins to separate more distinctly from the neck, that is, the neck straightens, the chin is not already on it. The body also went into growth and is now growing faster than the head.
Despite the fact that the ability to make sounds appears only after birth, the articulatory apparatus is formed already at this time. The digestive system is improved, the kid not only tries to swallow, his digestive system starts to function, the intestine lengthens and twists. In the liver, the production of bile and red blood cells begins.
Recognize the sex so far does not work, although the external genitalia begin to form. They look like something between male and female genitalia.
The gestation period is 14 weeks - the fetus reacts to stimuli, for example, by clenching a fist. This result is achieved through the development of the nervous system, in particular the skin sensitivity of the baby.
The proportions of the body begin to come in harmony. So far, this concerns the length of the arms relative to the body. The legs are not yet grown enough. The body is covered with a lagoon, the so-called thin hairline.
In general, the limbs of a tiny little man become more flexible, the body is mobile, which means that soon Mommy will be able to feel his movements. But not at 14 weeks, later.
How does the future mother change?
So, I congratulate you on the beginning of the second trimester, which is considered to be the "bloom" of pregnancy. Many unpleasant things that bother in the early stages of pregnancy begin to recede. For example, the breast loses painful sensitivity, toxicosis also passes, though, unfortunately, not at all. Some pregnant women go later. But the main thing that will pass.
Changes are not only inside, visually they also become noticeable. As the uterus increases, the tummy appears. Naturally, it is quite small, but still noticeable. However, in some cases, the tummy becomes a replacement only from the 17th week. Now you can admire yourself (or rather, you) in the mirror and enjoy your position.
Boy? Girl? Do you want to know?
Strangely enough, only 64% of future parents want to know the sex of the future child before his birth. Others prefer a surprise. Both the one and the other approach has its pros and cons. Some parents can not stand the curiosity, and some do not care, they are happy with their blood, regardless of sex.
Reasons for knowing the gender:
- Presenting a future child, many mothers make contact with him or her, and it is easier to do this if you know he or she is;
- To psychologically prepare other children for the addition in the family, because it is important for them who they will: a sister or a brother;
- Choosing a name for a future child, you will already know what to look for;
Reasons to wait:
- It's such a pleasant surprise!
- Perhaps the stronger the future mother will want to know the sex of the child, the faster and easier she will give birth to it, I mean the very moment of birth. T. e is such a psychological stimulus.
- There will be no disappointment in case the doctor made a mistake with the prediction.
