#Best Gynecologist in Bhopal

How Many Months Pregnant Are You At 14 Weeks?

At 14 weeks, you enter the second trimester and are three months and one week pregnant. During this week, your baby starts moving a little, and you will start getting over morning sickness.

Your baby is about the size of a lemon. The baby measures 3.42 inches (8.7cm) and weighs about 1.15oz (43g).

What Symptoms Do You Experience In The 14th Week Of Pregnancy?

As the pelvic muscles and ligaments are stretching, it reason round ligament pain on one or both sides of the abdomen.

  • Weight gain should be around 2 to 7 pounds during this week.
  • Increased energy
  • Morning sickness subsides, and you are at much relief.
  • Increased appetite as the morning sickness subsides.
  • The extra weight of the uterus starts straining the muscles of the lower back.
  • Digestion slows down due to the hormonal fluctuations, causing indigestion and formation of gas.
  • Edema or water retention in the body results in the swelling of hands and feet.

  • Varicose veins appear as the extra blood volume puts pressure on the blood vessels causing the veins, especially in the legs, to swell.
