The big news is that your baby's heart is now beating at its own pace, which clocks in a little faster than yours. Building work is progressing well in other areas too. Make sure your own caffeine consumption and stress levels don't add to your baby's challenges.
You at 11 weeks
The only heavy carrying you should do is carrying your baby. Your muscles and joints are loosening to make room for the newcomer, so they're more prone to strains. Do check any aches and pains with your doctor.
We all love a cup of coffee, especially when we're feeling a little tired. But coffee dehydrates and you need to keep well hydrated. You don't need to cut out caffeine completely, just don't have more than 200mg per day.
