11 weeks... 200 days to go!

My Baby At your next prenatal appointment, your health-care professional will apply a sticky gel to your abdomen and roll a contraption called a Doppler stethoscope across the surface. An amplified sound will fill the room. First you'll hear white noise like the static of radio reception, and then--miraculously--a tiny, pounding drum. The drum is your baby's heartbeat, galloping away at 150 beats per minute. It's the first audible message from your developing child, and it will fill you with wonder and joy.

How your baby's growing:

Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
