Baby development
In this week's pregnancy manual you'll learn that:
Although your baby's taste buds have begun to develop around the seventh week, research shows that starting at this stage, your baby can experience a bitter, sweet or sour taste in the amniotic fluid.
The palate will be completed this weekend.
Increased brain impulses indicate that the baby's facial muscles are working at a higher frequency. Babies can smile, frown, and wince.
Baby hair is now growing on the head. And in addition to the hair problem, the baby also gradually develops a short cilia all over the body. Don't worry about this coat Mothers, in the coming weeks they will fall off on their own.
Your baby's kidneys begin to filter urine.

In certain cases (for example, if the mother is over 35 years old or if her tests indicate that there is a problem in the fetus), the doctor will recommend amniocentesis . Amniocentesis is a test usually done between weeks 15 and 18 and can detect abnormalities in the fetus, such as Down syndrome.
During this test, a very thin needle is inserted into the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby in the uterus, a sample of the fluid is removed and the doctor will take it for analysis. Amniocentesis creates a very small risk of miscarriage, so talk about your concerns with your doctor and learn more about the risks and benefits of the tests you will undergo.

What should mom discuss with the doctor?
Difficulty sleeping is very common in the period of 14 weeks fetus. Although the mother's sleeplessness can help her get used to the later sleepless nights to take care of her newborn baby, she still wants to sleep more. I need to remember that before buying sleeping pills on your own, consult your doctor. Maybe the doctor will have other ways to help you sleep without facing the risks of taking the medicine.
