How is the second trimester treating you? Much better than the first trimester, right? Well, this is what happens when the raging hormone levels start falling. The symptoms might have improved considerably and you might have started loving food again. Food aversion is a common symptom in the 1st trimester but as the hormone levels have dropped, you’d start feeling hungry now and would also be able to get a better taste of the things you eat.
While fatigue was prevalent throughout the first trimester, you’d also get your energy back in the second trimester. This often leads to increased sex drive as well. Know that it is completely alright to have sex during pregnancy if you do not have a history of miscarriage or early labor. You can also talk to your doctor to get a better idea of how you should proceed.
How about the baby in the 14th week? Well, while you are at ease now as the symptoms have got better, your baby doesn’t really have any time to rest. Your baby has already started sipping the amniotic fluid in which it is resting and is able to digest and eliminate it through urine. The digestive tract and kidneys are fully operational by now. Read this post to know more about what else you should expect this week.

Baby’s Development in the 14th Week
Now that the baby has got all the major organs, they are now busy working and developing further. The liver has started secreting bile, production of insulin has begun in the pancreas and the kidneys can turn waste into urine. While the head was almost half of the entire body, the remaining body too is growing now. The arms and legs are longer and the baby can now move them freely.
