Pregnancy Week 11
Discover how your baby is developing in week 11 and why you may be experiencing migraines, pelvic pain, and aversions to foods you used to enjoy.
Have you started to show yet? If this is your first pregnancy, you may just feel bloated, kind of like after a big meal. But some women have a little baby-belly pooch by the end of the first trimester.
Did you know your baby can breathe underwater? She's doing it right now. At weeks 10 and 11, the fetus will start to inhale and exhale small amounts of amniotic fluid, which helps your baby's lungs to grow and develop.
Hello, cleavage! Spurred by the hormones progesterone and estrogen, your breasts (and the milk-producing glands inside them) may soon strain the buttons of your blouse.
Share and celebrate your pregnancy with other moms-to-be.
