Real picture of fetus at 11 weeks of pregnancy

When a woman is pregnant, she is very curious about the baby and wants to know how big the baby is and what it looks like. Although you cannot see the fetus in person during pregnancy, you can use medical equipment to observe the fetus. For example, B-ultrasound is the best instrument to observe the fetus. So, how big is the baby at eleven weeks of pregnancy?

When a woman is eleven weeks pregnant, the fetus is generally 6cm long and weighs up to 19g. At this time, many small details of the fetus have already appeared, such as nails and hair. At this time, the size of the fetus's head will account for half of the total body length. Some important organs, such as liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, etc., have already grown and developed and started to function.

By observing the fetus at 11 weeks of age through B-ultrasound, you can clearly see the outline of the spine, and the fetus's sexual organs have already begun to grow and develop, but it is still impossible to distinguish between boys and girls, and you need to wait for some time. However, even if the doctor can tell the gender of the fetus, it is not easy to reveal it to the pregnant woman and relatives.

During this week, the pregnant woman's uterus looks like a red grapefruit. Through the Doppler instrument, you can hear the beating of the fetal heart, and the heartbeat is relatively fast at this time. In the eleventh week of pregnancy, the growth rate of bone cells in the fetus will accelerate, making the bones gradually harden and the body lengthen.

Nutritional requirements for eleven weeks of pregnancy

1. Drink less or no beverages on the market, especially those made with sugar, artificial sugar, or food preservatives. They have both advantages and disadvantages for expectant mothers. Expectant mothers can squeeze fruit juice by themselves and drink it immediately after squeezing without boiling it.

2. Eat more young corn. Young corn is rich in vitamin E, which can be used to prevent miscarriage, fetal malformation and so on. Young corn is also rich in vitamin B26, which can effectively alleviate the discomfort symptoms during pregnancy.

3. Pay great attention to calcium and zinc supplementation. Adequate intake of vitamin D and appropriate weight-bearing exercise can promote the balance of calcium in the body. Excessive phosphorus, fat and excessive protein in the diet can cause the loss of bone calcium. In addition, magnesium plays an important role in maintaining normal bone density and muscle and nerve impulses.
