Looking ahead
Week 11 brings your nuchal translucency scan (if you choose it), which screens for certain chromosomal conditions. Many people find seeing their baby on ultrasound makes pregnancy feel more real. The second trimester is just around the corner, and many describe it as the "honeymoon phase" of pregnancy.
