By the
time you have reached the 11th week of pregnancy, you will
have noticed a lot of changes in your body and there are more
to come. Although your baby is growing quite quickly in the
uterus, your belly may not be really big just yet. In fact,
if you haven made the announcement that you are pregnant,
some of your friends and family may not even notice any changes.
You will find that your breasts are starting to enlarge somewhat
and that your pants are fitting a little more tightly around
the waist. You shouldn be too concerned if you haven gained
any weight and if you have had intense morning sickness, it
is quite normal to lose weight in the first trimester.
You will
still be experiencing morning sickness, but it may be decreasing
a bit and you are looking forward to the second trimester
in which the nausea is supposed to subside all together. Just
in case you are one of the expectant mothers who do have morning
sickness for the duration of the pregnancy, you shouldn plan
on it happening, but just wait and see.
You will
notice changes in your hair growth. If you experienced hair
loss when you first became pregnant, now you will see the
opposite effect. You will have faster than normal hair growth,
which may or may not make it easier for you to get ready for
work each day. It may mean more frequent trips to the hair
dresser. You may also notice hair growth on other parts of
your body because of the increase in hormones, such as on
your chest. You shouldn be alarmed by this as it is normal
and the hair growth will stop once the baby is born. If it
really bothers you, though, you can engage in waxing or even
electrolysis during pregnancy to get rid of the unwanted hair.
Your nails too will grow faster.
By the
11th week of your pregnancy, the baby weighs only about a
half ounce and is less than three inches in length. The head
is much larger than the rest of the body ?accounting for over
half of the weight and length. By this week the toes and fingers
have separated and although the body is transparent, the bones
have started to harden. You won be able to tell at this point
if you are having a boy or a girl because the sex organs have
not yet fully developed.
While
you can travel during any point during your pregnancy up to
the 36th week, you may feel more comfortable putting off any
travel plans until you reach the second trimester or at least
until you no longer have any morning sickness. There are many
books you can read about what to expect in the remainder of
your pregnancy and now is a great time to get started. It
is perhaps a little too early to start any serious shopping
for the baby, but you will likely spend some time wandering
around the children department when you go to the stores.
