Week 11

Your baby is now half inches long and is almost pretty much formed. Though she is already going to be kicking and stretching inside, her tiny movements won’t be felt so prominently by you. His or her water ballet will continue, which will soon turn into a full-blown dance. For another month or two, you will not be able to feel your baby’s ballet – as of now you might notice him or her hiccupping, which is coming from the baby’s diaphragm, which is in the formation stage. It isn’t far away when you baby is going to be fully formed and will spend the rest of the pregnancy bouncing and growing, just like you! Soon your baby’s hands are going to open and close into tiny little fists. Even his or her testes and ovaries will start to form. By the 11th week, your little one’s head is quite well formed and all the facial bones are now beginning to appear. The ears would have migrated closer to the set location, so would have her tongue and palate formation. The nasal passage at the tip of the nose is quite well formed by now too. Not to forget, on the journey of becoming a beautiful mane, his or her hair follicles have also begun to form at the crown of the head. Your baby’s body is more or less straightening out while becoming more and more proportionate, although his or her head is probably much bigger when compared to the entire body. Your baby is doing whole lot of wriggling and stretching inside (may be somersaults or forward rolls too!) inside your womb. Just visualising it made you smile, right? Packed with forming distinct human characteristics, your baby is growing and developing from each and every part of human body.
