Pregnancy week 14

Pregnancy information at week 14 of being pregnant - You energy will be returning and you should be feeling less tired.


Discuss pregnancy week 14 on our forums, right now! Or, post a comment below.

You

You energy will be returning and you should be feeling less tired. You might be experiencing heartburn as your hormones loosen your body ready for the birth. Try peppermint tea or milk to neutralise the acids. Your uterus will have grown to about the size of a grapefruit. Amazingly, during pregnancy your uterus will increase 20 times in weight and fourteen times in size. As you move into the second trimester it may be time to look at maternity clothes.

Your baby

Your baby is making smoother, more rhythmical movements. She would still fit into the palm of your hand, but features are more discernable. Your baby now has a button nose, upturned for breathing during breastfeeding.

Hiya,
I am 14 weeks pregnant with my first and very excited, had my first scan last wk and all was well, but to me it doesnt seem like much is happening, as i've only had a few pains and felt sick occasionally, has any one else had this? as i expected to feel more going on.
Thank you

Hiya
Thank God for your post, I am 14 weeks pregnant and due on the 10th of Dec but due to having gestational diabities I have to have the baby by c section at 37-38 weeks. I also am huge for 14 weeks and was asked if i was 20 weeks. I have been panicking as i am so big so reading your post had made me feel so much better
Thank you

Hi, I am new here also saw your post and thought that I would register and first off tell you congrats on you pregnancy. I am due Dec 7th also which of course puts me at 14 weeks :) I do have a bump that makes me look about 5 -6 months also, but I have not gained any weight I guess just the shift in my body. I have not felt the baby move yet that i know of LOL. I have a son who will be 9 in a few weeks. Yikes. My husband wants a girl I will take whichever.

This is my 3rd and both times before I didn't show till much later - this time I look 5 months pregnant already and have put on a stone in weight - yikes! Was only 8 stone to start with, but even so!!! I feel so big and heavy - walking is tiring! bit worried if feel like this already!

Im 14 weeks on Monday. I have a bump the size of a football....no-one belives that Im only 14 weeks, look more like 5 months! have been finding day to day stuff difficult and am still going to bed at 9 every night because Im soooo tired. hoping that my work will let me go part time, because that would make a huge difference. also paranoid because havent felt the baby kick yet...when does this happen? Ive read that its about 8-9cm from tip to toe by now...Im pretty sure that I should feel something...surely? Also am becomming increasingly forgetful...ratty...argumentitive...and sure that nobody likes me anymore because of this. can't concentrate on anything for more than 5 mins though, so Ive not lost any sleep over it.. I dream about babies! convinced Im having a girl, have picked out a beautiful crib..its all getting quite excting!

Hey, I'm 14 weeks prg. and have been in the hospital twice already with severe bleeding. The drs. said I have a subchoianic Hemmorage. They did three scans already and all of them have been great. They said me and the baby are perfect, except for this.. and that I have to wait it out to see if it goes away. Does anyone know anything about this ! Besides this it is great to start feeling good again and having energy again!

Hi Miss moss, im 25 and im totally confused a quite lonely really...havent told anyone yet because im not sure parents are going to think its such a great idea, as im in the midle of my nursing course....im really really happy though and they will be cool, just worried im letting them down alittle...there is also confusion over my due date as, my last period was nov, but it was ultra light and lasted a day my midwife felt me (i am also massive!) she heard the heart beat and said she was almost positive i am 13 weeks rather than 9 like i orginally thought....im waiting for my first scan and feel like im going crazy!! just want my scan so i know what is happening and that everything is ok.

Hi, I'm 14 weeks in to my 2nd pregnancy, we have a 5 yr old girl already. 1mummybear I have been having lower tummy & back pains, since about 11 weeks, the doctor said it's probably just stretching pains & the pressure of the the womb moving up above the pubic bone & I am actually huge already so think they may be something to do with it! I'm off to the hospital today to sort out my c-section for this one & hopefully have a scan too, although i have already had 1 at just under 8 weeks, so may get one may not! xxx

Hi Jakie
I really feel for you as totally understand where you are coming from. Im 27 and pregnant with my second, the first i had at 23. My mum died when i was 5 so she has never really been a big part of my life. I found it incredibly hard to ask anybody for help or advice and just did everything on my own which led to my in-laws feeling insulted as they wanted to help. I also didnt want lots of help as i wanted time to get used to be a parent and to bond with my daughter, which was really important to me as i saw it as my opportunity to have that mother-daughter realtionship that i never had. It took me a long time to realise that not everyone was judging my paretning skills and am starting to feel more comfortable with taking a break every now and then without feeling like a failure! Just remember that people will want to help and dont be afraid to ask for advice. looking back i wish i had trusted other people a little bit more as most of them were parents!

Jakie I'm 23 and have baby no3 on the way no2 isn't quite 1yr yet and my mums not being much help, so although we'd would love for them to help, the ones that are around don't always give enough support you'll be fine and you'll get through because the little things that your baby does gives you the drive to.x

Hey i'm 16 and im 14 weeks pregnant today. Both of my nans have bought a couple of bits of clothing, one got some booties aswell, they are so gorgeous! it's these little things that make it so exciting!!! x

Hi Jakie, Im only 9 weeks so very early days for me, but i read your comment and wanted to say that I was 21 with my Son and its only now that I look back and think 'god i was young!' but my Mum had 4 children by the age I am now (27) and if our Mums can do it we can too :) , you will be fine, and your Mum will be looking down on you and sending all the love and support in other ways to you i promise, and she will be very proud xxx
added by Inde [Thu 14th Aug 2008 @ 08:52:36]
I am just over 14 weeks pregnant, I am very excited but nervous and scared as well, this is my first and Im only 23 years old, My Mum died just over 4 years ago quite suddenly and the feeling of being alone and not having her here to help makes me feel worse. Sights like this are great, I feel better speaking to other nervous Mums, and even those with experience of children already. Xx

I'm 14 weeks today and have started getting those round ligament pains, ready for my bump to pop out so I look pregnant instead of podgy! My only tip is keep moving, if I sit at my desk at work in one position for too long I get a right stabber when I finally get up!

I AM 14 WEEKS PREGO AND I CAN FEEL MY BABY MOVING ALREADY ITS SO WEIRD BUT I AM SO HAPPY :)
