Early Pregnancy

The Early Stages

0 Week 1 Day

Last day of your menstrual cycle.

Week 1 - 3 - 7 Days
(Day 14)

This is the approximate date of conception, based on a 28 day cycle

Week 2

Fertilization occurs about the beginning of this week

After a female egg is fertilized, it becomes known as a zygote

The fertilized egg divides and cells are formed

Your fertilized egg is fed by uterine "milk" at this time

Your egg is travelling down the fallopian tube into the uterus

The sex of your baby is determined at the moment of fertilization

Week 3

Between days 7-10 from fertilization implantation in the uterus usually occurs. You are now pregnant – although not fully aware until you miss your period

Oestrogen & progesterone levels increase to prepare your body for pregnancy

The umbilical cord and yolk sac begin to form to feed your baby

The baby growing inside you is now called an embryo.

On a 28 day cycle, you should note an absence of your menstrual cycle today
