11 Weeks Pregnant | pregnancy signs and symptoms

What happens to your baby in week 11 of your pregnancy?
The average baby is now 6 centimeters. At this point, the head is largest part of the body. Yet now everything else is slowly taking its final shape. For example, there were some kind of webs between the toes and fingers. When you are 11 weeks pregnant, those membranes disappear and they become real toes and fingers.
At 4.2cm and 8 grams, your baby is as big as a sprout, around the weight of a coin, and is now oficially a fetus.
What Happens To You And Your Body When You Are 11 Weeks Pregnant?
In the previous weeks, you may have wondered when you will finally get a big belly. Well, if you're 11 weeks pregnant, your belly can just suddenly show up. In this week a small belly is already visible because the uterus is growing to make room for your baby.
Symptoms in week 11 of your pregnancy
Less or more nauseous when you are 11 weeks pregnant
With a bit of luck you will notice when you are 11 weeks pregnant that you are suddenly less nauseous than previous weeks. Your body is now used to being pregnant and your hormones are more balanced. As soon as you are less nauseous, the pregnancy will be easier to endure. Unfortunately, there are also women who suffer even more nausea. Unfortunately, there is little that can be done about this.

Chance of a miscarriage in week 11 of your pregnancy
Many experts recommend only announcing your pregnancy during week 12. And this is not without reason. The first trimester is the riskiest period of pregnancy. Fortunately, at 11 weeks of your pregnancy you are almost through this critical phase.
Stitches in your belly when you are 11 weeks pregnant
There is of course a lot going on in your belly when you are pregnant. It will also be no surprise that you will feel that every now and then. Yet, it can be quite unsettling to suddenly suffer from abdominal pain or cramps in your stomach. You probably immediately wonder if your baby is doing well. However, in most cases there will be no problems. Your uterus is growing at the moment, which can squeeze your other organs a bit and that can cause some pain. In addition, you can suffer from ligament pain due to the growth of the uterus. This ligament pain can be a stabbing pain on the sides of your lower abdomen. Though it causes you discomfort, it is not dangerous for your child.
Doing in week 11 of pregnancy: the first ultrasound
In this week you probably also have your first ultrasound planned, although there are midwives who perform this earlier. Some even do it as early as week 8, but there are many who wait until week 11 because the developments are already much further than the prior weeks. During this ultrasound you will hear the heartbeat of your son or daughter and this will definitely give you a wonderful feeling.
