The development of the baby at 11 weeks' gestation, which is 3 months pregnant, can also be observed by parents on an ultrasound examination. There is a greater possibility of seeing the baby if the ultrasound is colored, but the doctor or technician can help identify where the baby's head, nose, arms and legs are.
Development of the fetus at 11 weeks gestation
Concerning the development of the fetus at 11 weeks' gestation, its eyes and ears can be easily seen on ultrasound, but it still can not hear anything because the connections from the inner ear to the brain are not yet complete.
The eyes already have a lens and an outline of the retina, but even if the eyelids open, you still could not see the light, because the optic nerve has not yet developed enough. At this stage, the baby experiences new positions, but the mother still can not feel the baby move.
The mouth can open and close, but it is difficult to tell from what moment the baby begins to feel the tastes, the umbilical cord is fully developed, providing nutrients for the baby as well as the placenta, and the intestines that were previously inside the cord now enter the baby's abdominal cavity.
Size of the fetus at 11 weeks' gestation
The size of the fetus at 11 weeks gestation is approximately 5 cm, measured from the head to the buttocks.

Changes in the woman with 11 weeks of pregnancy
The changes in the woman with 11 weeks of pregnancy, are increasingly clear. Now the belly begins to appear because the uterus begins to transpose the bones of the hip.
This week, by performing the first mandatory ultrasound for all pregnant women, the doctor can get some important information like a twin pregnancy, check the size of the baby and correct the probable date of delivery in more detail.
The nausea may continue, but it is normal to diminish over time. Since the belly still does not weigh and the woman already starts to feel better, it can be a good time to start preparing things for the baby's birth.
