11 weeks pregnant
Your baby is about the size of a fig.
About 4 cm long. Typical sizes; every baby grows at their own pace.
What’s happening this week
Your baby is growing quickly and can open and close their hands. The bones are starting to harden. Hair roots and nail beds are forming.
Changes in your body
For some women, nausea starts to ease around now, while for others it takes a few more weeks. You may have a bit more energy. A white, mild-smelling discharge is common; see your doctor if it itches, smells bad or changes colour.
The NT scan window
The NT (nuchal translucency) scan is usually done between 11 and 14 weeks, often with a blood test. Your doctor will go through the results with you.
Bleeding, fluid leaking, fewer baby movements, a bad headache, blurred vision or sudden swelling: call your doctor or hospital now. In an emergency, call 112.
