Once women of childbearing age become pregnant, they will be very concerned about the changes in their baby and their own body. As the fetus in the body continues to develop and grow, the changes in the pregnant mother will become increasingly significant. The prenatal check ups at each stage also measure whether the baby is developing normally and healthily through some measurement indicators, such as uterine height and abdominal circumference, fetal heart rate monitoring, etc.
How big is the fetus at 11 weeks of pregnancy
1. At this point, the fetal baby has reached a length of 45-63 millimeters and a weight of 14 grams. The baby is now able to perform sucking, swallowing, and kicking movements. The baby's subtle details have begun to develop, and his fingernails and fuzzy hair have begun to appear.
2. The organs that sustain the life of the fetus, such as the liver, kidneys, intestines, brain, and respiratory organs, have already started working. This week, the outline of the fetal spine can be clearly seen, and the spinal nerves are starting to grow.
Changes in Pregnant Women at 11 Weeks of Pregnancy
1. The uterus of the expectant mother now looks like a grapefruit, and with the help of a Doppler instrument, the sound of the fetal heart beating rapidly can be heard, which some expectant mothers call a fast running pony.
2. From now on, the development of fetal bone cells accelerates, limbs gradually become longer, calcium deposits gradually appear, and bones become harder. At this point, the fetus needs to consume a large amount of calcium from the pregnant woman's body. If the pregnant woman's calcium intake is insufficient, the calcium in her bones and other areas will be broken down to supplement the insufficient blood calcium and supply the fetus.
Pregnant women have reached a relatively stable state at 11 weeks of pregnancy, and timely prenatal check ups are very beneficial for understanding the baby's development. The baby has gradually developed and grown, and the changes in the pregnant mother are becoming more and more obvious. Pregnant mothers need to pay more attention to their daily behavior and closely monitor the condition of their intrauterine babies.
