Pregnancy Week 3 ~
It
is now two weeks from your last menstrual period.
Conception may occur today! Well, at least in the
previous few or next few days, depending on the length
of your cycle. The egg and sperm will meet, creating
a single cell organism called a zygote will start
to divide. You may want to start preparing for the
psychological part of pregnancy now. Around now, if
the egg was fertilized, it will drop into your uterus.
Now that the fertilized egg (or zygote) is in your
uterus, fluid will enter dividing it into two. One
will be the placenta, the other will be the baby.
Advice
for Mom
If you haven't already found a doctor or midwife,
you should begin looking now. Make sure you feel a
sense of trust and comfort with your health care provider,
to have an informative and healthy pregnancy. A blood
pregnancy test may show positive as early as today.
