Week-by-Week Fetal Development Week 14 This week marks the beginning of the second trimester, which is by far the most exciting phase. The growth of the baby speeds up considerably as the internal organs mature and he increases in size. In fact, his weight has already doubled from the previous week. Your placenta is functioning to full capacity as it nourishes the fetus as well as produces hormones. The baby's major muscles are moving
in tandem with the brain as he bends and twists his arms, wrists, elbows,
fingers, legs, knees and toes. His nervous system has also begun to function.
By the end of this week, your baby
will measure around four inches or 10cm. He now weighs two and quarter
ounces or 65g.which is more than double that of the previous week.
