FAQs

Can I feel my baby move at Week 14? 

Not yet. Most women start feeling baby movements between Weeks 16 and 25, but your baby is already moving actively inside.

How big is my baby at Week 14? 

Your baby is about the size of a Kiwi, measuring 9 cm and weighing around 45 grams.

What symptoms should I expect at this stage? 

Common symptoms include increased energy, round ligament pain, and changes in appetite or skin. Most early pregnancy symptoms, like nausea, tend to subside.

Will my morning sickness completely disappear by now? 

For many women, morning sickness fades by Week 14, but some may continue to experience mild nausea. If it persists, discuss it with your doctor.

Is spotting normal at Week 14 of pregnancy?

Light spotting can occasionally occur at Week 14 due to cervical changes or increased blood flow to the area. However, it’s important to monitor the situation. If the spotting is heavy, accompanied by cramping, or lasts for an extended period, contact your healthcare provider to ensure everything progresses safely.
