MORE INFORMATION ON 11 WEEKS OF GESTATION

When the fetal development of the baby reaches 11 weeks of gestation, he reaches the measurement of 4 cm from the head to the butt. His fingers and toes are practically formed  and already with nails. Your teeth are also buttons inside your gums and when the time is right, you will be born. Your nose is already formed, but there is a skin that leaves the nasal orifice covered.

 

Baby Development

At this stage of 11 weeks, your eyes and ears are already well formed and can be well observed during an ultrasound exam. Even though the ears are already located in the exact location, they still do not work properly , because the internal connections to the brain that are responsible for perfect functioning have not yet formed completely.

With 11 weeks of pregnancy, her eyes already have small eyelids that open and close all the time, but still cannot see the light, as her optic nerve is in the development stage at this stage. Just like the eyes, the baby already starts to open and close the mouth and these movements can also be assisted during the ultrasound exam.

How is Mom Feeling …

The 11th week has just arrived and you cannot tell if you are pregnant or just slightly overweight. For some women the belly is already evident right away, but for some it may take a little longer to lose the waist and start to gain the silhouette of a pregnant woman. The mother’s face can already show hormonal signs, since progesterone makes the face more round and in some cases the nose more swollen, but honestly it is a charm of pregnancy!

The body’s signs start to become more evident and the nausea and ill-feeling begin to decrease. This truce can be the ideal time for the future mom to start preparing the layette and taking care of details that before she couldn’t even think and was not willing to try. Take advantage that the 11-week belly is still almost imperceptible and does not weigh yet to expedite issues of the room and decoration that can cost a longer time.

External factors…

Anxiety in the 11 weeks of pregnancy, may come to want to take your sleep. The desire to discover sex soon and to start preparing the whole outfit in the way you dreamed and with the colors you want will be inevitable. But hold on a little longer, a little more it will be possible for you to discover through ultrasound the sex of the future heir or heiress. Take the opportunity to rest, take more care and enjoy every second, the gestational phase goes by very fast!

My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.

Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
