Your Body at Week 11
Feeling rather large and in charge this week? You will probably notice you are more bloated than usual. This is caused from the changes in your hormones and that is slowing down your digestive system. If you are finding this uncomfortable, make sure you are eating enough fibre and drinking enough water to help digest everything easier.
Your Baby At Week 11
This week, your baby’s muscular and nervous system are now responding to each other. This means they are able to make facial expressions, stretch and bend in weird and wonderful ways.
