14th Week of Pregnancy

How big is your baby?
Your baby is now approximately 4 inches long (10 cm) and weighs just a little less than 2 ounces (57 g).


What is happening with your baby?
Your baby is continuing to grow and mature at this point. Your baby’s arms are going to begin to lengthen and be more proportioned to the rest of the body. The liver is beginning to produce bile, while the spleen is beginning to produce red blood cells.
The development of your baby’s brain enables him/her to use their facial muscles to grimace, frown, and squint. He/she may even be sucking their thumb. Because you have begun the second trimester and most of the critical development has been completed, the chance of miscarriage decreases.
