Baby this week
- •Sperm and egg have just met—conception occurred this week
- •The fertilized egg (now called a zygote) is dividing rapidly
- •The zygote is traveling down the fallopian tube toward the uterus
You this week
- •You likely have no physical symptoms yet—it's very early
- •Some people notice slight changes in cervical mucus
- •Breasts may begin to feel slightly tender (though this varies)
This week's tips
- •Start taking prenatal vitamins with folic acid if you haven't already—this is crucial for baby's neural development
- •Keep track of your cycle if you're trying to confirm pregnancy; home tests work best after a missed period
- •Continue healthy habits: balanced diet, regular movement, stress management, and adequate sleep
Informational only — always check with your doctor or midwife for advice specific to you and your baby.
Looking ahead
In the coming weeks, the zygote will continue dividing as it travels to your uterus, where it will implant around week 4. For now, you're in the very beginning of this journey.
