This week is a period where the baby’s development in the womb reaches a peak. Because your baby develops the most during this week, it has been noted in the literature by all gynecologists. From the 11th week of pregnancy onwards, your baby’s body blueprint is formed, and all organs continue to complete their development. Every organ whose blueprint is finished also begins to function. Although the brain is the most prominent organ, the baby’s head will no longer draw as much attention since the rest of the body has also started to grow. Your baby has now achieved the appearance of a complete tiny infant.
In an 11-week pregnancy, the development of the baby’s external ear canal is completed. The baby’s ear mechanism is now ready, both internally and externally. Although they cannot hear fully yet, they are ready to hear. Your baby hears sounds this week but cannot distinguish them; the full process of hearing starts from the 25th week. Until this week, the baby hears sounds as a mixed hum and cannot make sense of them.
In an 11-week pregnancy, the baby now begins to touch everywhere. The baby learns as they touch. From this week onwards, the brain begins to record. Whichever part the baby touches, the brain records that area and recognizes it the next time it is touched. Serious education has now begun for the baby in the womb. From this week on, the baby learns and records something new every minute.

What are the Changes in the Expectant Mother at 11 Weeks of Pregnancy?
In the expectant mother, nausea decreases this week. Dizziness still continues. Psychological changes are taking place. The mother’s psychological state is constantly variable throughout the pregnancy. One moment she might be crying, and the next she might be laughing; it is quite unpredictable. She exhibits highly emotional behaviors and acts very sensitively both emotionally and physically. Mothers are sensitive and easily hurt during this period. It is necessary to act carefully and attentively to avoid upsetting the expectant mother. Since stress experienced during pregnancy can lead to negative effects on the baby, every effort should be made to ensure the expectant mother remains happy.
