Your developing baby – week 11

Your growing baby is around 2 inches long and is about the size of a fig. Their body is starting to straighten and get longer. Your baby’s moving around a lot, although you probably don’t feel it yet.

Your baby's:

• Blood vessels are getting larger. To keep enough nutrients flowing, more blood vessels are also growing in the placenta.
• Face continues to develop this week. Ears are nearly in place on the sides of the head. A tongue has formed in the baby’s mouth.
• Head remains large, about half of the entire size of the body.
• Nipples appear on the chest.
• Fingers and toes are completely separate and no longer webbed.
• Sex organs continue to develop.
• The kidneys begin to make urine.
