          Your baby's development

          Grow, baby, grow!

          Baby development week 11, all of your baby's organs are developed. He /She ready to focus on growth. At about 4 cm long, she’s about the length of your thumb.

          In the next 9 weeks, she’ll increase her weight by 30% and will probably triple in length.

          In the next 9 weeks, she’ll increase her weight by 30% and will probably triple in length.

          The blood vessels in your placenta grow larger to prepare for this time of accelerated growth in your baby.

          Your baby's reproductive organs are developing. But it's still a little early to find out whether it's a girl or boy — gender isn't clear on ultrasound until between the 16th and 20th weeks.

          Your nutrition and health

          Eat, drink, and be less tired.

          Eating healthy, exercising regularly, and resting must top the list for keeping you and your baby healthy during the entire pregnancy. And it's OK to be tired or feel exhausted — most women are more tired than usual during pregnancy.

          Your body works hard to produce hormones and more blood to support your baby's developing body. And your body's high level of progesterone directly impacts how sleepy you are.
          Eating healthy, exercising regularly, and resting must top the list for keeping you and your baby healthy during the entire pregnancy. And it's OK to be tired or feel exhausted — most women are more tired than usual during pregnancy.

          Your body works hard to produce hormones and more blood to support your baby's developing body. And your body's high level of progesterone directly impacts how sleepy you are.

          Eat a balanced diet. It's important, now and always, to keep up with your iron protein and Folic acid intake. If you need to snack, munch on healthy, nutrient-dense snacks — not on empty-calorie foods.

          Remember the water.

          Remember to rest. It sounds simple, but you might be tempted to do more, not less, during this exciting time. Take naps. Your body needs sleep, so be sure to build naps into your regular routine.

          Avoid extra commitments. Seems easy. It’s not. Put yourself, your health, and your baby first. Don’t over-commit.

          Stay active. Take brisk walks. It might be hard to get motivated to move, but remember that regular physical exercise will leave you feeling more energized.

          Ask for help when you need it, whether around the house, on the job, or during your other activities.

          If you’re still tired, tell your doctor. Your iron levels might need to be checked.

          Things to think about now

          He’s growing. You’re glowing.

          You've heard that expectant mothers almost glow, and you might be experiencing this yourself thanks to your increased blood volume, which can cause skin to look slightly flushed and full. In addition, hormones increase the amount of oils on your face, causing skin to be smoother and shinier. At this point if you haven't already, you might consider switching to oil-free skin products.

          Breastfeeding Disclaimer 

          Breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. When thinking of using infant formula, a mother should be aware of

          1. the financial and social implications of formula feeding,
          2. the difficulty of reversing the decision not to breastfeed and
          3. the care that must be taken to prevent partial formula feeding from interfering with lactation.

          In addition, proper preparation of powder or concentrated liquid infant formula requires the use of boiled water for the purposes of mixing formula and cleaning implements and the manufacturer’s mixing instructions must always be followed. Improper mixing or preparation may make a baby sick. A healthcare professional should always be consulted before initiating formula feeding.
