You’re 11 weeks pregnant!
What does 11 weeks equal in months?
In week 11 of pregnancy, how many months along are you? You’re now three months pregnant!
Your ultrasound
If you’ve already had an ultrasound to confirm your due date, there’s a very good chance you may not be getting another one until your anatomy scan at 20 weeks. But if you’re feeling bummed about not seeing your little one floating around in there, remember that not being offered another ultrasound is a good thing — it means you’re having a healthy, boring pregnancy.
Your pregnant belly at 11 weeks
At 11 weeks, you may notice the beginnings of a bump starting to form as your uterus gets bigger, especially if this isn’t your first pregnancy. If there’s no bump just yet, don’t worry — it’s coming very soon, so you might want to start shopping for that maternity wardrobe!
Pregnancy tips at 11 weeks
Now that you’re 11 weeks pregnant, you know the drill — those first trimester symptoms aren’t so surprising anymore, and you’re finally beginning to settle into your pregnancy. That means this is a good idea to take stock of what needs to be done to get yourself and your house ready for a baby, because the second trimester is right around the corner — and that means you’ll probably get a lot of energy back very soon.
Make a list of everything you want to accomplish around the house before baby arrives, and carve out time to get it done during the second trimester — including washing all those brand new tiny clothes and getting the nursery ready. There’s a good chance you’ll be even more uncomfortable in that third trimester, so try to get everything done ahead of time that you can!
Your pregnancy checklist at 11 weeks
There are still 29 weeks to go until you meet your baby-to-be, but this week, it’s a good time to work on things like this:
- Make sure your 12 week appointment is booked, if you’re having one
- Decide whether or not you’d like a nuchal translucency scan — an ultrasound that can help predict potential chromosomal abnormalities at birth defects that happens between 11-13 weeks
- Start a skincare routine! Keeping your skin moisturized is important — pregnancy can certainly take a toll on it, and you might be feeling extra dry these days.
- Read some pregnancy books. The information out there online can certainly be overwhelming, but there are tons of books out there that can help prepare you for the weeks ahead
What are you eating for you and your baby?
Growing an actual human being inside your body is hard work, and that means you’re going to need the right fuel to help keep that little one going — and to keep you going, too. There are certain nutrients and vitamins you’ll need, and right now, a great one to focus on is Vitamin C. That means eating and drinking more things like:
- Orange juice
- Strawberries
- Broccoli
- Peppers
- Lemons
- Guava
And of course, remember to keep drinking that water — and taking those prenatal vitamins.
