14-week-old baby milestones
This week, you may start to notice that your baby can see you more clearly and their eyes can follow you as you move around the room. This is because the baby's head and neck are gaining stiffness and the baby's visual tracking is also improving gradually over time.
Some moms can feel their baby move as early as 13-16 weeks from the start of their last period. These first fetal movements are called quickening and are often described as flutters.
