What To Expect At Week 11

When you are 11 weeks pregnant, your baby is going to start opening and closing their hands into fists. Tooth buds will begin to appear under their gums, and their bones are starting to harden. Your baby may begin to kick, and stretch, but you’re not going to feel it right now. All of the other symptoms you’ve experienced over the last couple of weeks are going to be left in place for now, but to a lesser intensity. This week, the discharge, and the gas might be bothering you, so have a look at your diet. Avoid spicy foods and don’t eat for two (as suggested by many, as it can lead to digestive problems). Keep in mind, you only need 300 extra calories in the first trimester.
