Baby at week 14

This week: Facial expressions possible — squinting, frowning. Lanugo (fine hair) covers body. Liver produces bile.

Mother's body — what changes

In week 14 you may notice: Round ligament pain when moving. Appetite returns. Breast size increases 1–2 cups.

Nutrition & supplements

Add ~340 kcal/day above pre-pregnancy baseline. Prioritise iron (27 mg/day), calcium (1000 mg), omega-3 DHA (200–300 mg) and 71 g protein. Continue prenatal vitamin.

Safe exercise

Continue 150 min/week. Avoid supine (flat-on-back) exercises after week 20 — they compress the vena cava. Swimming and prenatal Pilates are ideal now.
