Week 11
Welcome to week 11, you are at the one third of the pregnancy. If this is not your first baby you must be suspicious on its gender. It is common for mom’s to guess the gender of the unborn baby on the symptoms of pregnancy. If this is a second child, some moms worry if they will be able to love the baby same as their first one. The nature has designed us in such a way that every new born knows the art of making itself loved and every mother is filled with love to share the same compassion with her babies.
Physical and Emotional You
Many women feel more comfortable this trimester. The usual nausea has subsided and as you are not near your due date so nothing to worry or panic about. This is a right time to execute your travel plans. But while you do so keep in mind not to sit for a long time and take breaks for washroom and never skip a meal. Consult your doctor to find a physician at that place if you might need one. Do remember to carry the medical details. Try practicing Kegel exercise, it strengthens your pelvis muscles and will be very useful during delivery.
Stay Fit. Maintain a good oral hygiene as you might have gum bleeding due to pregnancy hormones. This is also the right time to discuss about your maternity leave
Your Baby at Week 11
Oh! The baby is growing and is growing fast. It’s over 2.5 inches, and looks more human like. The body is now less curled as it was in the previous week. The legs remain attached to the hip. He is learning to swallow, and do not worry if the head looks like its half the body length and an Einstein is on his way! This will be normal before you would know.
The ears start taking their place on the head, moving from the neck to either side of the head. The fingers and toes are formed and you can literally count them to twenty. The bones become harder though the skin is thin and transparent.
Things To Note
It’s good and inevitable to gain weight during pregnancy but to a limit. You only require extra 300 calories mommy so don’t go overboard.
If you were underweight or overweight the doctor would suggest you ways and means to reach the ideal weight during the first trimester.
