Pregnancy Week 11


As we approach the end of the first trimester of pregnancy, for many expecting mothers, the pregnancy begins to show. The changes happening to your body will soon apparent and noticeable to all during your eleventh week pregnancy. Now is a good time to inform others about the good news, especially those in your professional circle. Your work commitments for the next few months need to be planned accordingly.

Another very crucial debate that enters the picture at this stage of pregnancy development is the growing argument regarding the right food intake and proper amount of weight gain during pregnancy. Before looking into the right pregnancy weight gain parameters let us have a look at the 11th week of prenatal development.
Baby's Growth

Your baby is doing well. His head is exceptionally huge, about half of the body size, in this stage. But this of course is temporary and normal. Other developments include slight hardening of the bones, separation of fingers and toes and the cutest of kicking and stretching acts. The movements will increase as the baby grows and soon you will experience the first feel of your child inside you.

The child is doing fine and hope that you too are doing great on both personal and professional fronts. If the Dad is not very receptive about the dynamic changes within you, take him along for the next doctor's visit and make sure he hears the child's heart beat. This will help win the desired support and comfort from your partner.
The Right Food Intake During Pregnancy

Coming back to the weight gain issue, to begin with, stop thinking too much about it. An increase in weight during pregnancy is quite normal and in fact very much required. A pregnancy weight gain chart can confirm this. Slight weight loss during the first trimester of pregnancy, due to issues like nausea, is all right but eventually in the weeks that follow, a weight increase must happen. It is essential for you and your baby. Normal pregnancy weight gain will be naturally lost in the post pregnancy period. Breast-feeding takes up ample calories and is the trick to get back in shape.

If you are over weight, you still need to gain weight during pregnancy. For the underweight pregnant mothers, the pregnancy weight gain is especially essential. The pregnancy weight however must not increase because you are taking in too much fat and sugar as provided by junk food. Your weight must increase by intaking nutrition-rich foods during pregnancy. Pregnancy nutrition is not dependent upon non-vegetarian foods and can be accomplished through a vegetarian diet as well.

Relax your worries regarding pregnancy weight gain and eat smartly over the next 29 weeks of pregnancy.
