I am 11 Weeks Pregnant - Fetal Development

YES, I AM GETTING CLOSE TO THE END OF THE FIRST TRIMESTER!!, that most of the baby's critical development will be behind me after the next couple of weeks, and the odds of miscarriage will soon drop considerably. While I have noticed that my cravings have been changing from one fruits to another.

Measuring from the crown of his head to his rump, your 1.5-inch/ 4-centimetre fetus has all his parts, from tooth buds to toenails. My baby is busy kicking and stretching; his movements are so fluid they look like water ballet. Fingers and toes have fully separated, and now the fetus's main task during the next six months will be to grow larger and stronger until it can survive on its own outside the womb.

A dark vertical line of pigmentation, called the linea nigra, may appear on your abdomen. Your uterus has risen above your pelvic bones and your midwife can now feel it during an external examination.
