Looking ahead
By week 11, you may be able to hear your baby's heartbeat for the first time during an ultrasound. Many parents find this moment incredibly moving and makes the pregnancy feel more real. The end of the first trimester is also approaching, which often brings relief as morning sickness may begin to ease for many people.
