Pregnancy Weeks 1 - 3 What is happening to your body? In the earlier stages of your periods, your body is waiting anxiously for the arrival of a baby. The uterus first sheds its old lining and it gets ready to shelter a growing baby by constructing an abundant lining rich of blood tissues. This process is prompted by a rise in estrogen and progesterone hormones in your blood. At the same time, eggs will get matured in your ovaries, and the best among the group will meet its suitor in the fallopian tube where it will get fertilized with one of the sperms waiting. Though many will try, only one of the awaiting army of sperms will successfully fertilize your egg. Once fertilization is completed, the fertilized egg settles in your womb which will be its home for the next nine months. Even though it will not be known to you that you are pregnant, your body will start to show the early signs of pregnancy like frequent urination, tiredness, and tender as well as swollen breasts. Also, there is a chance of you getting a little spotting some days before your period. This is implantation bleeding and may be misunderstood as periods sometimes. You might not take notice of this at times. It’s highly recommended that you take your folic acid without dropping a day if you are trying to conceive. What is happening to your developing baby? Immediately after ovulation, one of the many sperm cells fertilizes the egg produced. From here, the growth of your baby starts.  DNA’s of the both persons involved will merge to form a new distinct blue print for your baby. After the fertilization is over the egg has to go back to the uterus. This may take three or four days. On its journey back it divides and multiplies into a ball of 16 identical cells and by the time it completes its journey and gets buried into the lining of uterus, this ball will be stretched like a two-layered water balloon. The inner layer will be your baby and the outer layer will be the placenta which gives oxygen and nutrients needed for the growth of the baby and the water filled center will become the amniotic sac that acts like a cushion to protect the baby. Also, this ball of cells will produce pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which triggers a boost in the estrogen and progesterone hormones and make your ovaries to stop releasing eggs in the coming months. An increase in these hormones will prevent your uterus from shedding its lining. Right now, your baby is called an embryo and is just as big as a poppy seed. The embryo is getting its oxygen and nutrients and flushing its waste products through very small tunnels that connect it to the blood vessels in your uterine wall. It will not be sooner than the fourth week into the pregnancy the placenta will take over this task.
