11 weeks pregnancy

Your baby continues to grow and is now approximately the size of a large lime! The crown-to-rump length of your developing child is 1.75 to 2.4 inches. The weight of the fetus is approximately 8 grams at this point. The growth of your baby is phenomenal now and your baby's length will double in the next three weeks. The head is grossly out of proportion and is almost half of the baby's length.

You are almost at the end of your first trimester and while changes continue to occur quickly in your baby, they are happening at a slower rate in you. Your uterus has been growing with the fetus inside of it and is now almost big enough to fill your pelvis. Your uterus may be able to be felt in your lower abdomen, above the middle of your pubic bone. You are not able to feel the baby moving inside of you at this time. Some women think that they have felt their baby moving now, but it is either gas or a wrongly dated pregnancy. You might also be noticing changes in your hair, fingernails, or skin around this time. Some women notice an increase in hair growth and nail growth during pregnancy and others lose small amounts of hair. You are burning up calories at a faster rate than you did before you became pregnant! The amount of blood being pumped around your body will increase and you might feel warmer than usual.

This is the last week of the embryonic period. From now on, your baby will be called a fetus. Your baby's fingernails appear this week! External genitalia are beginning to show distinguishing features and the development of male or female will be complete in three weeks. The placenta's blood vessels increase to provide your baby with the nutrients and oxygen he needs for continued growth. Your baby's ears are gradually moving from the neck towards the sides of his head. Inside of your baby's abdomen, the intestines are developing. Because the intestines are so large, some of them project into the umbilical cord and they will return to the abdomen within the next week or two.


At the size of a plumb, your baby is now able to swallow. The urinary system functions. The baby swallows and urinates the amniotic fluid and the fluid is continually replaced. The baby is kicking but the mother cannot feel it yet. All vital organs are formed and, for the most part, function normally. From now on, they will grow in size and efficiency.

As a preparation for breastfeeding, your baby now has learned to swallow. Babies swallow amniotic fluid in the uterus.

mengkonsumsi air putih bukan air minum kemasan dingin yang mengandung kadar gula cukup tinggi;
5. Mengkonsumsi karbohidrat kompleks yang biasanya terdapat pada beras merah, roti gandum.

Si kecil kini sudah berkembang secara komplit, dan ukuran kepalanya sudah mendekati setengah dari ukuran kepala bayi yang telah lahir, dan kelopak mata bayi bunda sudah mulai berkembang.

Selanjutnya pada fase ini, buah hati bunda sudah mulai mendapatkan nutrisi dari plasenta yang sudah bekerja. Jemari mungil tangan dan kakinya sudah dilengkapi dengan kuku yang masih sangat lembut.

Minggu ke 9 kehamilan bunda masih tetap harus melakukan beberapa tes kesehatan dan test darah tapi penekanan tes di minggu ke 9 lebih ke kondisi kesehatan ibu untuk mendukung kehamilan. Tes tersebut antara lain:
1. Tes urine untuk menentukan kadar gula dan protein bunda;
Hal ini untuk menentukan apakah bunda mengalami gestation diabetes atau diabetes yang dialami pada saat hamil
dan akan hilang bersamaan pada saat bunda melahirkan, ataupun bunda penderita diabetes sebelum kehamilan.
Keadaan tersebut harus lebih diperhatikan dan didampingi oleh dokter spesialis.
2. Pengukuran berat badan dan tekanan darah bunda;
3. Detak jantung pada bayi bunda

The Chinese Birth calendar

The Chinese birth calendar is a fun way to predict your baby's gender before you go for an ultrasound. It is not a sure, full-proof way but undoubtedly a wacky way to find out if you are carrying a boy or a girl. (Accuracy lies somewhere between 95 - 99%!). The ancient Chinese chart was found buried in a tomb near Beijing for about centuries with the original now in the Institute of Science in Beijing!

You simply have to cross-reference the month of conception with the age of the mother when she conceived. Check it out.. though treat this as fun even if you find the results amazingly accurate from http://www.welcomebabyhome.com

For example the conceptions of my baby is on June where I am now 24 years old. The result was a baby girl! ( even tough only God knows it for now)

anyway, have a fun try!
