Your Baby
Changes In Your Growing Baby By pregnancy 14 weeks your baby's neck starts to get longer too and a chin starts forming. Your baby is working hard during pregnancy 14 weeks to develop her reflexes by kicking and swimming about. By pregnancy 14 weeks your baby should be receiving all the nutrition she needs from the placenta. That means anything you eat, drink or smoke will cross the placenta and enter your baby! It is very important you continue to adopt a healthy lifestyle as your pregnancy continues week by week. One way to protect your unborn infant from potential hazards during pregnancy is to avoid deli meats and unpasteurized soft cheeses. These products may contain listeria, a harmful bacteria that can be fatal to unborn babies. You should also avoid any undercooked or raw foods like carpaccio or sushi, that may contain parasites or may cause food poisoning. Pet owners should avoid changing their kittens litter box while pregnant if possible. It is possible to contract the disease Toxoplasmosis through the litter box. This infection can also pose a significant risk to your unborn baby. If you don't have someone readily available that can change your kitty's litter be sure you wear a mask and protective gloves when performing this task and wash your hands thoroughly after to help prevent transmission. Fortunately if you have had your cat for some time you have likely already been exposed to the disease, thus it is not nearly as potentially hazardous as if you have never been exposed and built up immunities.
Your Body's Development
Changes In Your Body
Most women can continue a normal albeit somewhat lighter exercise routine during pregnancy. You will find however that your body starts releasing a hormone called relaxin that makes your joints and ligaments much more flexible and hence prone to injury. Be sure you take things easy and allow yourself plenty of time to warm up and cool down to prevent injury. You should also work to keep your heart rate around 140 beats per minute. This will prevent you from becoming overly tired but ensure you get a good workout in.
