You are just one week away from completing your first trimester, and even though the first weeks can feel like the toughest, you will soon be feeling better and be ready to face each day’s new experiences. Morning sickness should be disappearing within the next three weeks, and the fatigue you may have experienced is subsiding as well. You may have noticed that you are slowly gaining weight as well—that’s fine, but just remember that slow and steady win the race—don’t dump it all on at one time. After all, your baby only weighs a fraction of an ounce, and doctors recommend weight gain of about 3 to 4 pounds in the first three months.
Don’t be discouraged if it turns out that you gained a bit more or less. Some women tend to lose weight in the first trimester due to morning sickness. Your doctor is monitoring your weight and they will let you know if they think the weight is too much or too little.
Toward the end of the first trimester may also be the best time to travel if you have any plans to do so. Most women feel their best during their second trimester—usually experiencing an increase in energy and a more positive outlook to boot. Once you are in the third trimester, it is not recommended that you travel far or often in case you needed medical care. It is most convenient to be close to your regular doctor.
You will probably start to see your stomach expanding a little bit around the 11th week. The more the uterus grows the more you will start to show. Try to include your partner in everything that you are feeling. If you haven’t done so yet, start a journal to record your emotions and thoughts.
Baby’s Development
At week eleven of your pregnancy, the baby is completely formed and will continue to grow and develop until his or her delivery.
What does your baby look like now?
- The head is large—almost half of your baby’s total length right now
- Fingers and toes are separated completely and the baby’s bones are starting to harden
- Hair and fingernails begin to grow
- All organs have formed and are starting to function
- Your baby is just over 1 ½ inches long, and weighs approximately ¼ of an ounce
Changes To Your Body
By week eleven you are going to start to see some changes in your physical appearance. You may not start showing off the baby bump yet but weight gain may become a bit more noticeable. Some women may experience more frequent headaches during this time thanks to rapidly changing hormonal levels.
By week 11, many moms are ready to show off their baby bump—and may be getting impatient to wear trendy maternity clothes. But patience is of the essence in these first weeks, and the uterus is just starting to grow out of the pelvis—so you may not even look pregnant for several more weeks. However if you have had more than one baby, your body may change more quickly and you could already be digging out your stretchy pants—everyone is different.
Your doctor will also be completing an ultrasound (some do this test earlier—around 6 weeks or so) but if you haven’t had one yet, or this is your first appointment, you may have a vaginal ultrasound to take a look at your baby and make sure that development to this point is normal. It’s too early in the game to see if you are having a boy or girl, so just hold tight—that will come with the bigger 20 week ultrasound.
Tips/Advice
At the eleventh week of pregnancy, you are at the end of the first trimester. Gone are most of your battles with morning sickness and you will start to feel better both mentally and physically. These are the days to really embrace your pregnancy and enjoy it for all its excitement. The days ahead may be uncertain, but there is still a lot to look forward to as well.

I’m really freaking out and I don’t know how stay calm till my next u/s on May 14…

I am in my 11th week… it is my first baby, and i have gained a lot of weight! I have already gained 10 pounds. I started out at 90 lbs… and now weigh 100 pounds. I am already showing too. This really stresses me out, because I was always so thin my whole life. Hope I don’t keep gaining at this rate! Seems like I am the only one that is showing so early, with the 1st pregnancy.
May 12th, 2010 at 2:32 pm

I am 11 weeks along as well and the breast tenderness has almost all gone away but the morning sickness is still here. I have yet to find a remedy to help me with that. My first ultrasound was at 7 weeks and my next will be at 13 weeks. I am very excited to see baby again and also very excited for the morning (or should I call it all day long) sickness to go away
June 16th, 2010 at 11:36 am
Hey Faye,
I just read your entry and I am going thru the exact same thing. I hope everything is ok with you.
June 17th, 2010 at 6:53 am
I feel exactly the same way. I’m 11 weeks today and have my scan next Tuesday. Can’t wait because I just want to know that the baby is okay.
June 21st, 2010 at 11:44 am
Hey every1,
I am 11 weeks today and was given an ultrasound on tuesday to determine my due date, I couldnt believe what I was seeing on the screen as I was convinced I would go and there would be nothing there as I never had many symptons and also i was recently diagnosed with having PCOS. I have been getting cramps and little niggles these past few days and worried as to what these can be I hope when I go to my next scan in 3weeks time everything will be ok, I am a constant worrier lol x
June 25th, 2010 at 9:08 am
Hi ladies! Congrats to you all… I am currently 11 weeks prego with my 4th baby. I am showing as if Im five months or something.lol. I am having all day sickness, tired all the time, and tender boobs. Good luck you and your babies!
June 29th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
Im 11 weeks pregnant, but i dont feel like i am i have no morning sickness, cravings, nothing, and i havent gained a single pound… but my doctor said im fine. Im pregnant with twins and im not showing at all…kinda worried…
June 30th, 2010 at 3:43 am
I showed early with my first pregnancy. I started out 122 lbs and ended up at 180. I know that's alot and i'm only 5'1, but I lost all the weight. I hope I don't gain that much in my second pregnancy. I'm now 11weeks and have gained 5 lbs.
July 3rd, 2010 at 9:56 pm
I am 11 weeks and have actually lost about 8 lbs. I have had really bad symptoms of morning sickness and fatigue which I am hoping will go away any day now. Any tips on how to beat nausea?
July 8th, 2010 at 1:21 am
i am 11 weeks and 1 day today..my taste bud is terrible,but i am forcing myself to eat..feeling very much exhausted in the evening..i do have lower abdomen pain.on and off and its not very severe though so i belive its just the uterus is expaning..i am always hungry but i have no idea what to eat..i prefer vegetarian as i cant smell non vege smell…what else i should do to keep myself full stomache? what else i should eat? clueless at times…
July 8th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
omg i am feeling the same thing!!! and what ever i do eat its not satisfying
July 8th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
Hey i'm Julie and i am also 11 weeks pregnant. I have lost 6 pounds but im still showing more and more everyday!! Besides the vomiting that lasts all day i have had no other symptoms! But i have had bleeding occasionally..so because of that i have had 3 ultrasounds now..may i say it is amazing the changes that occure in weeks time!! This last one the feet were kicking and i dont beleive that i have ever smiled so much or so big in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 9th, 2010 at 3:33 am
really???hmmm not too good isnt…my husband cooked almost everyday for me but pity him,he's excited to cook e.g fish fry and everything but i dont have any appetite to eat those stuff..none of them..too bad..my heartburn is terrible after eating..some say should take ginger tea..but im not sure about it..
July 9th, 2010 at 3:35 am
lost 6 pounds..dont worry much about it…as some will gain some will lose…like u said you've done the ultra sound and the result was amazing…wow…but isnt too early to feel the kick of the baby as i understand it maybe gas or something i dont about that..
July 10th, 2010 at 12:36 pm

good luck to everyone and congrats
July 13th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
I had really bad morning sickness with my daughter through out the entire pregnancy. What helped me battle the morning sickness then and now with baby no. 2 on the way, is to keep a log of what you eat and when. Also, right down how you felt after eating/drinking. This helped me because for what ever reason, I could drink milk but if it was after 10am…forget it! I would puke even worse. Why my body had a litlle "quirk" I don't know but it really has helped with learning the foods that were easiest to throw up, as well as stayed down longer!
I'm pregnant with baby no. 2 and I still have a battle with morning sickness and consuming fruits and vegitables has really helped with simmering the stomach. To help stay away from caffine (because it makes my nausea worse) I drink a lot of V8.
Good luck everyone with their pregnancies and enjoy the blessings!
July 15th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
I am eleven weeks, this is my second child and I am excited as I don’t what. I have been talking to my baby way before I knew it had ears and I am excited to find out what is going on with my body each week from this website. I have not had any morning sickness or anything like that, but I have had sore breasts, sleepiness and sometimes extreme hunger and thirst. I have one more week until I get my ultrasound and I am just counting down the days.
July 15th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
She said she saw the feet kicking not felt the feet kicking.
July 16th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
11 weeks 1 day. No morning sickness, which has been great, but has also been the cause of me gaining
10 pound so far! Breasts have been very sore, could cry at the drop of a hat, and have serious problems with certain smells, but that is it. This is my second and I amm convinced it is another boy. Best wishes fellow Preggo's!
July 20th, 2010 at 12:35 am
Hope someone can help me. Iam 11 weeks pregnant and my first baby Iam having severe vomiting and nausea and heartburn. Does anyone have this symptoms to and how are they dealing with this.
July 20th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Hi there,
My name is Ashleigh and I as well am 11 weeks pregnate. I also have has severe nausea and vomiting. I got tothe point where everything I was eating was coming right back up. My doctore put me on Zofran and I make sure not to have an empty stomach. This has helped but not completely gone away..
July 28th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
I am also 11 weeks and having same problem. I generally like non veg but now I hate and cannot take smell. any food with ginger garlic in it makes me to throw up immediately. I am surviving with apple and salads. I have lost about 5 pounds so far.
August 2nd, 2010 at 10:35 pm
Oh my goodness I must be the only different preggo lady Im 11 weeks and I have been gagging alot since 6 weeks up to now lately nothing been coming out just constant gag. I get dizzy at times and certain food just make me wanna GAG, gag, gag. Is this even normal? Its freaking me out because no-one has mentioned my kind of sickness. Im nervous Im going in tomorrow for my physical and to hear baby's heartbeat. I had one miscarriage last year and it was pretty bad no heartbeat as to why Im super nervous tomorrow. Wish me luck ladies!!!
August 6th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Lady Los,
This is my first pregnancy, and I too am 11 weeks along. I am experiencing the SAME symptoms as you. Gagging, dizziness, etc. Its horrible!! I go to website after website looking for SOMEONE who has had the same symptoms as me, but then I think. EVERY Pregnancy is different. Just embrace the changes that your body is going through and be amazed that there is a little baby growing inside you. I go for my first ultrasound on Monday. Good luck to you, and all the other ladies who have a little one on the way
Courtney C <3
August 12th, 2010 at 1:39 pm

August 17th, 2010 at 5:45 am
Hi Faye, I had my first scan at 8 weeks and only going again at 13 weeks – also feeling worried, as I dont feel "it" hopefully cause we feeling better thats why.
good luck
Sam
August 21st, 2010 at 8:53 am
im 11 weeks pregnant and i also did not "feel" pregnant. i was so scared that my baby had died and nothing was happening in there. but i went to my OB and had an ultra sound and sure enough there was my little booger growing like a weed!!!
September 19th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
Hi there, I too was really sick. So sick I couldn't even hold water down. My Dr. put me on a combination of Zofran and Meclezine. Meclezine is an over the counter motion sickness medication. This combination seemed to keep me from vomiting. Hope this helps.
October 7th, 2010 at 2:35 am
lam glad to read all that they are sending me. lam 11weeks and sometimes l vomite after sowing tablet recommended by the doctor and now l woke up with a running stomack .
October 14th, 2010 at 3:50 am

October 14th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Hi everyone.. I'm 11 weeks and 1 day with my first baby and I'm STILL feeling pretty sick! I always feel hungry but never want to eat or know what to eat. I think I've only gained a few pounds. I'm just SO ready to start feeling better and I'm hoping that starts by next week LOL..I'm sooo excited to tell my parents and my in-laws about the pregnancy! I think I'm looking forward to that more than anything. I hope everyone is doing well and best of luck with happy, healthy pregnancies!
October 17th, 2010 at 9:28 am
i am 11 weeks and one day also.. although u are two days ahead of me. i feel the SAME exact way! i cant wait for the relief of morning sickness!
October 17th, 2010 at 9:36 am
im 11 weeks and 1 day today! ever since i got pregnant i have had a HORRIBLE case of on going hiccups!! they happen constantly!! i have never had so much in my life. is there anyone else who has had this? any cures? or old wives tales that involve hiccuping? ive researched it a tiny bit but didnt find anything really. my baby's heartbeat was also 170.. so im thinking might be having a girl.. plus in my fam girls are always first.
October 22nd, 2010 at 1:01 pm
I'm 11 weeks tomorrow with my 2nd pregnancy and have felt sick, dizzy, tired and moody from 6 weeks all day. But during my first pregnancy I felt sick in the mornings, so every pregnancy seems to be different. I have also been very worried on and off that I will suffer a miscarriage, but yet every week I still seem to be fine. I think it is only natural for every woman to be worried. I have my scan next week and cannot wait to ease my mind. Good luck all…. P.s try not to stress too much
x
November 4th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
I am at week 11 now and for the past month i had morning sickness from when i woke up to when i went to bed. I started to feel like i regreted the situation but now i'm starting to feel better and i am very happy and feel very blessed about it and am very excited!
November 16th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Hi ladies, I am new here, First let me congratulate all of you on your pregs. I am 11 weeks pregnant, I have been sick since the week 6. A week ago i went for a scan and i saw he baby it was all fine. at the same day evening i thought i felt it and i could even see some moves on my tummy. Yesterday i started to feel some itching down there and today it become quite sore but not much of discharge and i find out that i contracted yeast infection, i put some canasten cream just from outside the vagina and it seem to have disappeared. Today i feel less nausea bur i cannot feel any activity on my tummy is it normal? please help I am sooo worried. Will the yeast infection affect my pregnancy? Should i worry for not feeling the baby at this stage?
Good luck to all
November 21st, 2010 at 8:41 pm
hello.
I’m in week 11 and I was just in to a maternity centre. I was about 10 weeks and the nurse said she couldn’t find the heartbeat. except I thought I heard it, oh well. if not, is it normal for the heartbeat to not be heard that early?
November 28th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
im 11 weeks preg and this week i felt tired and sleepy throughout the week.I feel hungry but get very lazy to eat anything.Eating food gets a little too boring and monotonous.Dont know why.
December 6th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
I AM 11 WEEKS TODAY AND I JUST HAD MY 10 WEEK SCAN AND THE DOCTOR SAID TWINS I'VE BEEN HAVING ALOT OF NAUSEA, CONSTIPATION AND FATIGUE I'M JUST STARTING TO FEEL DIZZY ALL THE TIME I'M PRAYING THAT ON THE TWELTH WEEK THINGS WILL GET BETTER. MY SYMPTOMS HAVE BEEN SO SEVERE THAT I TOTALLY ISOLATE MYSELF AND MY BOYFRIEND DOESN'T UNDERSTAND I TRY TO TELL HIM I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON MYSELF AND I WORK A FULLTIME JOB PRAYING I FEEL BETTER I WANT TO BE EXCITED BUT I'M TOO SICK
December 16th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
Chew gum for the hart burn.
And the nausea don't take medication use travel wrist bands they helped me.
As soon as you wake up eat a plane biscuit or a ginger one that also helps.
dot have an empty tummy and don't have a completely full one either
December 27th, 2010 at 1:42 am
wow me too, i was about 125 pounds with my first pregnancy, im also 5"1, and ended up 170 when i gave birth, never lost the weight though, i went through preclampsia, toximia, i am now i was sick throughout my whole pregnancy . Now im 11 weeks pregnant with my second child, and dont feel pregnant sometimes, i get headaches daily that seem to never go away, but i cut my caffeine down to one cup of coffee, or soda a day, been drinking water now more to stay hydrated, i feel hungary but only have gained 5 pounds, maybe this baby is eating off all my old fat first that would be great lol…I was only sick for 2 weeks, and my breasts were sore a few days. ultrasound at 7 weeks was fine, and again at 9 weeks was fine, have another on january 10th, when i am 13 weeks, pray everything is fine again please, i will pray for all the mommys out here too!!! they are watching me close because of my miscarriage last year.
January 6th, 2011 at 11:34 am
I will be 11 weeks tomorrow…Since I’ve been pregnant I too have had constant hiccups. Sometimes I feel pregnant but most of the time I don’t. I was bloated for a few weeks then all of a sudden I woke up and I wasn’t bloated anymore. I’ve had 2 previous misscarriages a few years ago 1 at 5 weeks and the other at 6 weeks, I’m super nervous. I’ve only had morning sickness 2 times, I’ve been to the Dr. 2 times already and I’ve seen the heartbeat both times. I can’t help but be nervous just because of what’s happened in the past. Wish me luck…My next appt is on the 18th of January!
January 7th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
I've also had my share of miscarriages. To reassure myself, I've rented a fetal Doppler and I can listen to the heart beat when I want. It's a great idea to put your mind at ease. Good luck with everything.
January 17th, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Just stopped by looking for hope! I am 10 weeks today and over the course of the last few days, I seem to have lost my gaggy feeling?? :O ( BUT, in stopping by this page I noticed your appt. is tomorrow! Good luck!!

January 23rd, 2011 at 9:40 pm
I`m 11 weeks pregnant also, last week I went for my first prenatal visit I was 10 weeks,5 days. I asked her is she can see if she can find the heartbeat. She said at 10 weeks, you may not find a heartbeat, and not to be alarmed, it`s just really early. Well we did find a heart beat of 156 beats for min. So just try again next visit. Don`t worry. And Good luck !
January 26th, 2011 at 10:14 pm
I am currently 10 weeks prego with my 4th baby. I am showing early. I am having all day sickness, tired all the time. Good luck!!!
February 6th, 2011 at 6:51 pm
hi, your yeast infection will not affect your pregnancy! it is normal to get more of them than you usually would. my dr told me to take the 3 or 7-day monistat and that it is fine during the first trimester. if it doesn't go away after the time it takes to do the 3 or 7-day medication, see your dr.
also, it is probably something else going on if you can see your tummy moving. most people wouldn't see that until about the 6th or 7th month, not 11 weeks. gas?
do you have an obstretician or midwife you can talk to about your concerns? stress is not a good thing during prgnancy so it's best to talk to someone who knows their stuff.
good luck with your pregnancy!
February 7th, 2011 at 3:00 pm
Hello, i really thank you all for all your message to me am seen all you people, but i don’t have morning sickness, but sometimes i have abdominal pain in the right part and when i eat little food i feel heavy all my body,sometimes when i seat like 30 mins or 20 mins when i stand up i start feel pain at back and also i seal vomiting. all this normal?
thanks
Chioma.
February 16th, 2011 at 8:23 am
Good job. i love this…
February 16th, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Hi, i am also 11 weeks and 1 day and already showing, so I think if you have smaller frame and a flat tummy to start with it will show very early. I presonally tend to stay of the scales for that same reason because gaining weight quickly stresses me out and i can tell by my clothes how much i have actually gained and at this stage probably 1-2kg. My doctor isn't monitoring my weight, should they?? Just try eat healthy and eat what you body craves, there is a missconception that you are eating for two but you are not. I was told that you only need 300 calories a day extra to what you normally eat, and that is probably a piece of bread with some sort of spread on it, so it is not much at all. Good luck you'll be okay.
February 16th, 2011 at 9:02 pm
Hi Angel, I am 11 weeks pregnat with my first and have had a previous misscarriage at over 12 weeks, the nervous tension will always be there based on bad experience. I one day got up and the nausea was gone, my breasts were not sore anymore i got so scared that i ran to my doc as i no longer felt pregnant. She told me that with some women these simptoms will come and go and come back again. With me this is exactly what;s happening, one day im great, next im sick as a dog. Ultrasound showed a perfect baby so do not stress too much because that isn't good for the baby.
February 16th, 2011 at 9:11 pm
my doc said that at 11 weeks if you feel like bubbles moving around in your stomach that is a movement of the baby..
February 16th, 2011 at 9:15 pm
I am the same i have every sign in the book, I am 11 weeks and have nausea, tiredness, heart burn, crams, gas, urinating, indigestion, bloating, headaches, sore boobs…aren't i lucky
)) this little rugrat is making me work really hard 
ha good luck everyone x
February 17th, 2011 at 9:53 am
This is very good and nice. i think this.
February 22nd, 2011 at 5:34 pm
I'm 11 weeks and sick more at night now. It's very frustrating especially because this is my third pregnancy. I also have a higher than normal TSH level which makes me really concerned. I have to say that I have a little boy and girl and experienced none of the morning sickness with their pregnancies as I feel with this pregnancy. I am also not feeling a connection yet with my baby and feel guilty about that. I am an Account Executive with a busy work schedule and feeling very overwhelmed.. Thanks to all these posts as it does help to see that I'm not the only one dealing with the sickness..
February 23rd, 2011 at 11:15 am
i am 11 weeks with my third pregnancy. i have been nauseous allllll day for weeks and it is just letting up. during my first pregnancy i thought i was going to die all the time. sharp random pains in either side of my abdomen, a horrible knife through the belly button feeling as the uterus moved and this horrid pain on my ribs below the boobs as the skin and muscles stretched while my ribs expanded – i also had a knot in the center of the right side of my back from 12 weeks to delivery with both of my previous pregnancies- yay lol. so, you are totally normal

i didn't gain until the second trimester with my first and end of the first trimester with my second pregnancy. i am in my third pregnancy and already look a bit bumpy- however, your ob may not monitor your weight until the second trimester bc so many women have fluctuations in the first from morning sickness and so on. and the extra calories required is equivalent to a peanut butter sandwhich and a glass of milk- so the pint of ben and jerry's isn't necessary. btw- i worked out through both of my other pregnancies and was super active and still gained 75 pounds. It sucked but i lost all but 5 pounds after the second one… just stay healthy and enjoy

this is my third too- i understand, it doesn't seem real quite yet… and when you work and have two real live in the flesh kiddos, it is hard to rev up the emotion for your little tiny parasite who is simply makin ya sick
Don't worry, when your little bugger starts kicking you everything changes… i was a bit disconnected with my second child at first too… she came when my first was 14 months old, so I had two babies at the same time and the first 6 mo was hell. now all is right and i wanna scream! anoooother one on the way? really? ok…. wishin ya luck and you are totally normal lady!

Ok so i am 11 weeks and 5 days pregnant today! =) With my first i did have a miscarriage almost exactly a year before this pregnancy. I am a little nervous because i went to the doctors a few weeks ago and she told me that the baby was a little smaller than it should be and i was loosing weight.. she also told me that wasnt normal. I do want a second opinion because most of the people i know who have had babies lost weight at first. I just dont want anything to be wrong with the baby and since they recommended me to someone else further away from my house i havent been able to go down and see the doctor. Does any one have any helpful tips? And also i cant seem to want to eat anything really, just a lot of spicy food and chips, im scared my bad diet will effect the baby badly! =(

aww good luck! I have everything but heart burn! I have really bad morning sickness though! Everyone says it should go away soon, im hoping thats the case!
February 28th, 2011 at 11:47 pm
I hope you and the baby are both alright! Just stay positive and pray for the best! Hopefully your morning sickness just went away and everything is ok!

I am 11 weeks with my second baby. I lost weight with both pregnancies. My first I lost over 20 lbs through the whole pregnancy. As for the size of the baby it could be smaller than they thought because you might have your conception date off. With my first I was off my date by three weeks and my baby always seemed small because of it. When she was born they were expecting a baby that was six weeks early and after they looked her over she was really only three weeks early.

Congrats to all on your pregnancies & good luck

Hello! I am 11 weeks pregnant as well. My whole pregnancy i only had to vomit 1 time, i had sore breast and frequent peeing but nothing else. Stay positive and have faith my doc. apt is tomorrow and for the 1st time i hear my little ones heart beat. Everything will be okay. If you are too scared ask to make an apt asap to make sure and that way you will feel better.

i'm 11 weeks and i have a bump that is very noticable i can't fit into my jeans at all i was a size 0 now i have to wear a 3 just to feel comfortable. I haven't been able to see a doctor because i had a mirina iud and it has kept my hormones low i just got it out because i knew i was pregnant i don't have any money. so in order for me to see a doctor and get a ultrasound for free i have to have a pregnancy test that stays positive because the lines show up then vanish. i'm always worried and freaking out i don't know what to do

Hi Michaella,
If you don't have an Insurance and you're low income, you can apply for Medical. Just go to your doctor and their receptionist can help you to apply for two months temporary use Medical insurance, then you will need to apply for a full term. If you don't qualify for Medical. You can always apply for AIM. I really think you need to see a doctor as soon as you can. Wish you all the best and Good luck : )

You can ably for Pregnancy Medicaid via your states Health and Human Services Commission. That is the place where one would go to apply for govt assistance like food stamps and medicaid. I applied for it in Texas and all they asked for was a positive pregnancy test! I got a package in the mail within a week with the types of providers I could choose from and the physician available! You can also contact your local WIC office because sometimes they have and office within their location where you can sign up for prenatal medicaid as well. Help is available you just have to be quick on your feet for it. I wish you luck.

I am one day from being 11 weeks pregnant and I have gained 5 pounds but I am only 5 feet tall so 5 pounds looks like 10! My belly is already sticking out but I havent told work yet about my pregnancy. I have my 2nd appointment where I hope to hear the heartbeat on Thursday and then after that, I am going to let people at work know that I am pregnant. I am excited to finally tell people! I also did not have any morning sickness (just felt nausea until I ate something) and my breasts are very heavy and sore, my nails are super brittle, I am thirsty all the time, I dont have specific food cravings except for homemade broth soups and very cold milk! This is my first baby.

Try a Clear Blue pregnancy test the result states "pregnant" or "not pregnant" and the result stays in the window for 24 hours. Hope this helps. Good luck to you!
March 21st, 2011 at 4:03 pm
Dont feel alone. I also look like I am about 5-6 months pregnant and I am 11 weeks. It has gone down a little bit over the last week though so i believe it was water weight or something. Congrats to you as well.
March 21st, 2011 at 4:04 pm
YES!!! This was the ONLY test that gave me a clear result and i got it 2 weeks before my missed period! AWESOME!!
March 23rd, 2011 at 3:39 am
I am sure you can go to a free woman's clinic and they will take a test for you. You need to get checked quickly since you got pregnant with an IUD in. I also hope you are taking prenantal pills. They are very vital to the growth if the baby. As everyone else said you should be able to get medicare through your state. Good luck!

I too am 11 weeks pregnant. I went to the doctor last week and heard the heartbeat for the first time. It was amazing. Since then I have begun to have dreams where I go back to the dr and they cant find a heartbeat. My symptoms have all but subsided so I think thats what has provoked my nervousness. I know that at the end of this trimester is when things even out a bit, but I am still paranoid. Am I just being neurotic or is it possible to for the heart to stop beating and me not know immeadiately?
March 28th, 2011 at 11:31 pm
You can always buy or rent a doppler monitor! Usually they're around $40 or so a month and you can listen to your baby's heartbeat whenever you want. Regardless of whether or not you choose to do this, you shouldn't worry.
March 30th, 2011 at 9:52 am
I bought a "bebe sounds" heart monitor from Wal-mart, only about $20. Its hard to hear the heartbeat in the first trimester since the baby is so little, but if your bladder is full and the house is quiet you can hear it. Its normal to be nervous, but at 10 weeks your chances of miscarrying drop dramatically.

I am so happy. Week 11 feels a little different. I have been feeling little flutters for about a couple of weeks now. I cant wait for my ultrasound on May 26th. Only 9 more weeks until I find out what sex the gift God gave me is. I can feel it in my bones that it’s a girl. I already have three boys and they are fun but, really rough. I love my children and can’t wait to see what my baby will look like or who?

I am 11 weeks today and my morning sickness has been over for a week now. It started at around 6 weeks, and was horrible until week 10. I fealt nauseous ALL the time. However, I only threw up a few times. I was beginning to worry what if I’m one of those people who have morning sickness throughout the whole pregnancy. I was soooo very happy when it finally stopped. I’m actually enjoying my time now
