11 Weeks Pregnant

Week 11 Of Your Pregnancy

This is the week when nausea starts to subside for most women and is replaced by cravings for protein or large portions of foods. Some women even start craving foods that they have always hated.

Call your doctor if you start craving some unusual things — like ice, dirt, chalk, or, yes, even laundry starch. Called pica, this desiring of non-food substances does affect some pregnant women; doctors suspect that it may actually be a sign of a nutritional deficiency.

Lifestyle Considerations

Your clothes might start to feel a little snug and it may be time to shop for some maternity clothes.

Good Advice

Loop a rubber band into the button hole and around the button of your jeans to give you a little extra breathing room when doing up your pants. Wear a long top over your jean waistband to conceal the fact you can’t do up the top button or pull the zipper up all the way.
