11 week of pregnancy

During the entire pregnancy the body of a woman undergoes certain changes. The future baby also changes and grows.

Feel

The 11th week of pregnancy, like everyone else, has its own characteristic signs and sensations. Mostly this concerns a small increase in the uterus. At the bottom of the abdomen begins to "something to interfere" and sleep more and more falls on the back or on the side.

If a woman at the beginning of pregnancy suffered from toxicosis, then in this period comes a significant relief.

The future mother is already starting to feel pregnant, although she does not yet look like that. Clothing can become cramped due to a slight increase in the abdomen. Vaginal discharge may increase. To be frightened of it it is not necessary, most likely, it will proceed during all pregnancy. Still it is possible to tell, that the size of a breast will increase, at least, on one size. And also there is a possibility of appearance of some secretions from the nipples, which are called colostrum. When the 11th week comes, there may be heartburn, constipation and drowsiness.

Fetus

At the onset of 11 weeks of gestation, the length of the fetus reaches about 8 centimeters, and its weight varies from 8 to 12 grams, it is approximately like a large plum. The child can already raise the head, he has a neck, the pens and legs are clearly marked, and moreover, even the fingers. 11th week of pregnancy for the fetus is also characterized by the fact that on his face appear distinct human features, although they look a bit strange. Large eyes are widely spaced, but until they are tightly covered for centuries and will not open very soon. At 11 weeks of pregnancy the fetus is already making movements: it can stretch, change its position, but since it is still too small, it is impossible to feel it. Sex with accuracy is difficult to determine, but even at this time, boys have distinctive differences from girls.

It is proved that it is during this period of pregnancy that the placenta begins to provide the baby with all the necessary nutrients, and promotes the withdrawal of unnecessary foods, since it is from this time that the baby begins to function as the intestine.

Analyzes

At this time, the fetus is already seen quite well, and therefore it is possible to make uzi. 11 weeks of pregnancy is the period when the fetus can be evaluated as its right or wrong development. If earlier all tests were given to determine the health of the mother, the ultrasound shows the child's condition directly.

Dangers

Food

As for nutrition, in connection with toxicosis, even if passing, aversion to certain foods can persist. They should be deleted. It is recommended to eat about 5 times a day, in small portions and preferably simple, without different frills. Food in the first place should be healthy and healthy, and for this you need to consume a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. It is worth to give up strong tea or coffee, as well as from all kinds of smoked products and sausages.

Lifestyle

For a moment, do not forget that within you is a small human life and, in accordance with this, lead a way of life in which there will be as few stressful situations as possible. It is necessary to walk a lot and sleep long enough. And also remember that the calmer the mother, the more comfortable it will be for her baby.
