Your Body at Week 14

Lots of changings are happening in your body this week. You have welcomed a new organ into your body. The placenta. Your baby is attached to this by its umbilical cord. This is what pumps blood, oxygen, nutrients and hormones to your baby. It is firmly attached to the womb and it will leave your body after birth.

Your Baby At Week 14 

Your baby is happy kicking and doing somersaults in your belly, however you won’t feel movement just yet but it’s now only a few weeks off. Your baby can now taste what you eat, so its super important to be eating healthy from now on in. Your baby’s hairline is forming an fine hair is starting to grow.
