Baby at week 11

At 11 weeks gestational after IVF transfer: 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

Post-IVF at week 11, clinical picture: 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. Post-IVF continue progesterone support and prenatal vitamin exactly as your REI prescribed. Do not add herbal supplements without clearance — many interact with luteal support.

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. After IVF avoid high-impact activity until confirmed viability at 8-week scan. Then follow standard trimester guidance.
