Week 11 is the third week of your third month of pregnancy. In this blog, we're going to be talking about 11 weeks pregnant baby development, what symptoms and body changes you might be experiencing, and how to manage these.

We are also going to talk about the things that you might want to be thinking about and doing when you are 11 weeks along. 

As we talk about symptoms and body changes, the most important thing to note is that there's a wide range of symptoms that you can experience. You might experience all the possible pregnancy symptoms on my checklist, or none, or somewhere in between, and that's totally okay.

Our 11 weeks pregnant symptom checklist is very similar to week 10, and it's quite extensive. Common symptoms include:

What is happening with the baby's development this week? Here are your baby’s milestones this week:

Maybe you've already been brainstorming about your baby’s name, but if not, this is something fun to think about. And if you have a Feel, Think, and Do pregnancy journal , you'll find a spot in the planning section in the back to keep track of all your ideas.

If this isn't your first pregnancy, it's never too early to think about what you need to do to prepare for a new baby. Do you need to make changes at home? What kind of preparation is needed now? 

It's a great time to focus on rest. Do you have a bedtime routine ? Following a bedtime routine can help you get more rest and better rest. It's great for both you and your growing baby. Now, if you enjoy falling asleep to gentle music, there’s an 8 hour video that you can listen to for sleep, it's great for pregnancy.

I am thrilled to announce our first trimester sponsor, Three Lollies. If you aren't familiar with The Three Lollies brand, you might recognize their most popular product Preggy Pop Drops . 10 weeks pregnant is a great time to have these on hand. I remember when I was pregnant for the first time and I didn't know when that nausea was going to hit, Preggy Pop Drops are a natural solution to this challenge.

The Preggy Pop Drops come in four yummy flavors, they're all natural and drug-free. There's sour raspberry, green apple, sour lemon, and sour tangerine.

I love that you can grab a package of 21 for just $5 on Amazon. Now this is an affordable way to be prepared for the symptoms that you might face in the first trimester. With 21 pieces that means you can have these close by when you feel that wave of nausea hit.

I would probably put seven of them in my purse, seven in the car, and seven at my desk. So thank you Three Lollies for helping us in the first trimester and thank you for supporting childbirth education.

If you're following along in our Healthy Pregnancy Book , homework for this week is to check out Pages 6 and 8 . This has really good information on what prenatal appointments in your future are going to look like, and I look forward to meeting you right back here for week number 12.
