Baby at week 11

At 11 weeks from conception (13w gestational): Fetal breathing movements begin as diaphragm develops. Head is still half of body length. Fingers unwebbed; can open and close.

Mother's body — what changes

11 weeks post-conception, your body is: Nausea usually starts easing. Areolas darken. Linea nigra may appear on abdomen.

Nutrition & supplements

Focus on folic acid 400–600 mcg/day (neural tube), iodine 150 mcg, and small frequent meals to counter nausea. No extra calories yet — normal maintenance intake is adequate. Week 11 from conception (13 weeks gestational) needs targeted micronutrients — the developmental window differs from LMP-based advice.

Safe exercise

150 minutes/week of moderate activity — brisk walking, stationary cycling, prenatal yoga. Stop any exercise that leaves you unable to hold a conversation. At 11 weeks from conception, low-impact activity supports placental blood flow without stressing the fresh implantation.
