One of the biggest changes observed in your baby this week is that your baby is now able to make hand and arm movements as he/she wishes. Your baby also continues to breathe very quickly during this period. One of the important changes that occur during this period is that your baby's jaw is no longer fixed in one place.

What are the changes in the expectant mother in the 14th week of pregnancy?

During this period, your body has become accustomed to pregnancy and has begun to enter a kind of harmony where you can say goodbye to all the problems you experienced in the early days. Problems such as fatigue and nausea have almost disappeared and you have settled into a level where you feel more comfortable. However, the feeling of fatigue may vary from person to person, so do not hesitate to rest if you still feel tired. One of the factors that can cause you the most trouble in the 14th week is constipation. Since the progesterone hormone relaxes all the muscles, the intestines have also been affected by this. In order to prevent possible constipation during these times, you should consume foods containing fiber frequently and never postpone when you need to go to the toilet.
