Your Pregnancy: 4 Weeks

How do you feel right now? At this point your little one can finally call himself an embryo. Yes, he's graduated! Now you're baby's organs have begun to develop and some are even functioning. Amazing isn't it? Also during this time the primitive placenta is getting itself ready to become a fully developed placenta in which it'll be able to provide nutrients and oxygen to your growing baby. Also the amniotic sac has formed. This will cushion and house the baby for the coming weeks.

At this point though you probably don't even know that you're pregnant. But for the sake and health of your baby, if you're taking any medications, stop, if you're drinking or smoking, stop that too. You should already be taking a multivitamin so continue to do that too. And at the end of this week take a home pregnancy test. It should indeed come up positive if not, take another one next week. If that comes up negative go to the doctor and have blood drawn.

Congratulations again on becoming pregnant!!
