Reviewed by Dr. Humaira Latif, OB-GYN & Ultrasound Specialist

Welcome to week 11 of your pregnancy. Here’s a gentle look at what to expect at 11 weeks pregnant — baby’s size, changes in your body, common 11 weeks pregnant symptoms and a caring tip from Dr. Humaira.

Baby's size

About the size of a fig — 4.1cm.

Baby's head is about half the body length. Tiny tooth buds are forming, and baby can move, though you can't feel it yet.

Your body

Nausea may start to ease for some women.

Common symptoms

  • Reducing nausea
  • Increased appetite
  • Mild dizziness
  • Nasal congestion
When to call your doctor
  • Fainting spells
