You have reached your second trimester! You're now one-third of the way through your pregnancy. At 14 weeks pregnant, you might be feeling better as early pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and fatigue begin to fade. Many expectant parents consider this in-the-middle trimester to be the easiest and most comfortable.
14 Weeks Pregnant Is How Many Months? 3 months and 2 weeks
At 14 weeks, a baby is typically 3 1/2 inches long (9 centimeters). They weigh a little over 3 ounces (90 grams).
If you could peek inside your womb, you’d see a tiny baby practicing how to frown, squint, make a pucker.
You’d also witness a lot of movement. Your baby might be wiggling around, stretching their arms, or even practicing breathing by taking amniotic fluid in and out of their lungs.
A lot is going on when it comes to your baby's organs , too.
Explore a few of your baby's week 14 milestones in this interactive experience.
Watch all episodes of our Stay Calm Mom video series and follow along as our host Tiffany Small talks to a diverse group of parents and top doctors to get real answers to the biggest pregnancy questions.
You might already feel less nauseous and exhausted, but if haven't started feeling better yet, hang in there. Those not-so-pleasant early pregnancy symptoms don't abruptly end on a specific date—and they technically don't all disappear when you hit week 14.
However, the symptoms of early pregnancy do often begin to fade when the first trimester is over—it might just be more of a gradual shift to feeling better. Either way, you are entering the least symptomatic phase of your pregnancy .
As nausea and vomiting subside , fatigue tends to fade along with it. The exact cause of fatigue during pregnancy is unknown, but rising hormones in the first trimester are likely contributing factors. As your hormones level off at the end of the first trimester, you might begin to feel less tired—and perhaps even more energetic.
However, this upswing isn't true for everyone. Fatigue might continue or even get worse as your pregnancy progresses.
Breast tenderness also tends to ease after the first trimester. However, some people who are pregnant continue to feel discomfort as the breast tissue grows and matures to make breast milk .
Early pregnancy symptoms can interfere with sexual desire in the first trimester. However, when nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and breast tenderness diminish—along with the fears of harming an early pregnancy—sexual desire might return.
If there is a concern about having sex, your health care provider will let you know. In general, having intercourse during pregnancy is safe as long are there are no complications such as placenta previa or vaginal bleeding .
After sexual activity, some light cramping is normal. Mild contractions of your uterus are part of orgasm . They are irregular and fade quickly.
Skin changes occur throughout pregnancy. One issue that might pop up is the formation of a new mole or changes to an existing mole. Pregnancy can do funny things to moles like make them bigger or darker. While pregnancy is the likely cause of these changes, it's always smart to have any new or changing moles looked at by your health care provider.
The second trimester typically brings physical and emotional relief. As you notice a decrease in early pregnancy symptoms and maybe even more energy, you might also feel a little less worried about something going wrong. Plus, your pregnancy belly is still at a point where you can move comfortably. This trimester is often the easiest to enjoy.
If you've been concerned about early pregnancy loss (especially if you've experienced it before ) this week brings a little sigh of relief. By week 14, the risk of miscarriage drops significantly. While some parents-to-be might not truly feel relief until after the delivery when they're holding a healthy baby in their arms, this is a critical step to getting to that point.
If you find that you are worried all the time, share your concerns with your health care provider. It might be helpful to get a referral to a mental health professional to help you through this time.
Even though your baby is growing steadily, they still are not big enough to weigh you down. The second trimester is a good time for exercise and staying active . Unless your provider tells you otherwise , physical activity is safe and healthy during pregnancy.
Experts recommend that pregnant people get at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week. Exercise reduces the risk of pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes and cesarean section . It also helps the body recover faster after birth.
The second trimester is a great time to make special plans for you and your partner. Once the baby comes, it might not be as easy for the two of you to get away on your own. Having a "babymoon" is a great way to spend time together, connect (or reconnect), and relax before your life changes with a newborn. It could be a staycation at home, a weekend not far away, or a big trip.
You'll want to check with your health care provider, but as long as you aren't experiencing any complications , travel is typically safe. The sweet spot for traveling during pregnancy is between 14 and 28 weeks . Since the first trimester's morning sickness is probably over, and walking and moving around is still comfortable, travel is likely to be more enjoyable during this time.
First-time parents might benefit from taking a birthing class . They are often available at the hospital, a birthing center, a private facility, or online . There are many options to choose from, though you might find your fellow parents-to-be are vying for spots.
It's a good idea to register for a class when you're about 20 weeks along, meaning now is the perfect time to start some initial research. With you taking the lead, your partner gets to cross this item off their to-do list.
You may have your next regular monthly prenatal visit around week 16 . If you choose to have an amniocentesis , it typically takes place between week 15 and week 20 .
Your provider might recommend an amniocentesis if you:
Though your provider might recommend it, amniocentesis is not mandatory. It carries a very small risk (about 1 in every 200 to 400 might experience complications, including miscarriage ). Make sure that you take the time you need to make the best decision for you and your family.
As you begin looking into childbirth classes, you might also want to check out some online options.
Online classes tend to be flexible and let you study at your own pace. If that's something you and your partner might be interested in, you'll find plenty of options in your research.
If you're planning an adventure, be safe, and take the proper precautions.
Travel is generally safe during most of your pregnancy. However, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue can put a damper on first-trimester trips. Comfort can become more of an issue as you get into your third trimester.
The second trimester is the ideal time for a getaway. Of course, there are some precautions you should take regardless of when you travel.
There are some pregnancy travel tips that you can keep in mind, many of which you can implement while you're still planning a trip.
Here are some to-do's to keep in mind as you're planning, and going on, your pre-baby adventure:
Security body scanners at the airport are not dangerous to your baby. Even so, if being scanned makes you uncomfortable, you can request to be manually checked by a security agent.
"The amount of radiation exposure during one scan is equivalent to 0.01 chest X-rays."
For a lot of expectant parents, week 14 is the beginning of the most enjoyable few months of pregnancy. Your baby is growing, the risk of miscarriage has dropped, and you're on your way to feeling better than you've probably felt in a while.
Next week is likely more of the same as you continue to feel better and have more energy. You are also getting closer to seeing that baby bump . Everyone is different, but bellies tend to "pop" early in the second trimester.

Book: Your Pregnancy and Childbirth: Month to Month, Sixth Edition Paperback – January 1, 2016 by American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (Author) ACOG Cleveland Clinic Mayo Clinic
Your little one is trying out some new moves this week! Your baby’s eyes are starting to move, and those little legs and arms are starting to flex. These movements also allow your baby to practice the important skill of moving hands to mouth.
The senses of smell and taste are also developing, and your baby’s skin is thickening too. You’ll have to wait and see if your baby will be born with a full head of hair or not, but right now, hair follicles are forming under the surface of the skin.
With each passing week, your baby is looking more and more like the little person you'll meet the day you give birth. By now (or very soon), the genitals are fully developed, but it’s still too early to know whether you’re having a boy or a girl.
In the meantime, you can still have some fun guessing with our Guess Your Baby’s Gender quiz .
At 14 weeks, the fetus is roughly the size of a nectarine. Around this time, the average fetus weighs about 1.5 ounces and can measure up to 3.5 inches long, crown to rump.
It can be hard to visualize what’s going on inside your belly, to help you get a bit more of idea, check out the illustration below.
You’ve finally reached the second trimester !
Around this time you may start showing – although every mom-to-be and every pregnancy is unique so it may happen a little earlier or later for you. Initially you may just feel that your jeans are a little snug. If you’re not showing yet, that’s OK too! It could be just weeks away. Read up on when do you start showing for more.
Soon, your healthcare provider may start to note the size of your belly and uterus at each prenatal visit by measuring the distance from your pubic bone to the top of your uterus (the fundus).
During your pregnancy, your uterus is growing upward out of the pelvic area, and generally this measurement helps your provider track your baby’s growth.
The second trimester is often referred to as the “honeymoon” period of pregnancy. This is because some of the pesky early pregnancy symptoms may start to subside and many moms-to-be experience some positives, including:
Increased energy. During the second trimester, many moms-to-be find that they feel a surge of energy. If this is what's happening with you, it’s probably a nice change from the exhaustion that may have plagued you during your first trimester. Later on, especially in your third trimester, you may feel a bit larger and less energetic, so take advantage of this time to get things done.
Beautiful hair. It isn’t your imagination! During pregnancy, many women experience thicker hair that might grow a bit faster than usual. It’s one of the physical changes you may really enjoy this trimester!
If you’re wondering how many months along you are at 14 weeks pregnant, the answer is that you’re likely 4 months pregnant.
At 14 weeks pregnant, here are some of the symptoms you may be experiencing:
Leaky breasts. You may start to notice that your breasts are leaking a thick, yellow substance. This is colostrum, the liquid that nourishes your baby in the first few days after birth before your breast milk comes in. Though the leakage might startle you at first, it is completely normal. You can use cotton breast pads to absorb any leaking fluid.
Sinus congestion. It could be due to allergies or a cold, or it might be another symptom of pregnancy. If your nose often feels stuffed-up, making it difficult to breathe, it could be due to the hormone progesterone, which increases circulation to the mucous membranes of the nose, causing them to swell. This condition is called pregnancy rhinitis, and unfortunately there's not much you can do to make it go away. Staying hydrated can help you feel a bit better, and you can also try using a humidifier or dabbing a little petroleum jelly around each nostril to make your nose less dry. Saline drops or a saline rinse may also help.
Increased appetite. Finally! Nausea might be a thing of the past by now, and you may feel quite a bit hungrier than you have in a while. Go ahead and chow down, but try to stick to a healthy, balanced diet. Most women whose weight was in the normal range before pregnancy only need to consume an additional 300 calories per day (600 more if you’re carrying twins). A normal range can mean having a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 24.9. You can download our pregnancy nutrition guide for more helpful information about prenatal nutrition.
Leg cramps. In the second trimester, some women experience lower leg cramps that often strike at night. You can help keep these cramps at bay by stretching before bed and staying hydrated. If you do feel sharp pains in your calves, try massaging the muscle or taking a warm shower or bath.
Have you visited the dentist recently? If not, schedule a checkup and cleaning. Your teeth and gums need special attention during pregnancy to avoid gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Watch out for germs! Your body’s immune response changes during pregnancy and if you come down with a cold or the flu, it could hit you harder than usual. Make sure you get a flu shot, and be extra-vigilant about washing your hands, practicing good hygiene in general, and avoiding sick people.
Have you thought about childbirth classes yet? Now is a great time to research available options in your area, so read more about how to find the right childbirth class for you.
Are you planning a second trimester babymoon? You’re not alone! Many parents-to-be take the opportunity to get away before the bigger belly and the nearing due date makes travel harder in the third trimester. It’s always safest to speak to your healthcare provider before booking a holiday, and if you’re planning to fly it’s best to check the airline’s policies on flying while pregnant. Read our pregnancy travel guide for more on this topic.
If you are 14 weeks pregnant with twins, you may be wondering how your pregnancy might be different in terms of symptoms, weight gain, and other things. Find out more about twin pregnancy symptoms during this trimester, and a
