You're 4 Weeks Pregnant!!!

The cells making up the ovum are beginning to differentiate and specialize in areas of development. Some cells will make up the embryo; others the amniotic sac and placenta etc. The ovum, which has been floating around in your uterus, will implant into the wall of the uterus. Now comes an exciting time of rapid growth! The amniotic sac, amniotic cavity and yolk sac are developing. The placenta is beginning to form now

Advice for Mom
Many women do not experience any symptoms this early. But you may start experiencing some early symptoms of pregnancy such as: Fatigue and tiredness Frequent Urination Nausea vomiting - Morning Sickness Heartburn Indigestion Flatulence bloating Craving and aversions to certain foods Breast tenderness soreness, and enlargement the areola (pigmented area that surrounds the nipple) will darken

If you are feeling weepy, irrational or have mood swings, take heart -- this is perfectly normal! Morning sickness could set in anytime now: you might not know you're pregnant yet, but your body sure does! A home pregnancy test may show positive, but you may want to wait a few days for more accurate results. Some women will wrap a positive test result up as a gift to their partner!
