Week 11 · First trimester
11 weeks pregnant
Crocus
4.1 cm (1.6 in)crown to rump
The Crocus (~3–4 cm) is known for appearing while the season is still changing. It feels right for a week balanced between early pregnancy and what comes next.
This week, inside
The fetus is around 41 mm from head to bottom, with the body growing quickly beneath a still-prominent head. Fingers and toes are separating, while tiny fingernails and miniature ears are forming.
What you might be noticing
Tiredness may still be strong this week. Nausea, breast tenderness, bloating, and indigestion or heartburn can also continue.

Small things that help
Bring your questions to appointments in whatever form is easiest: a note, a screenshot, or a voice memo. Let one unfinished task stay unfinished without turning it into a verdict on the week.
For the record
