PREGNANCY WEEK BY WEEK ( WEEK 1 TO 4)

The First Month of Pregnancy: A Week-by-Week Guide ( week 1 to 4) Congratulations on reaching the first month of your pregnancy! This period is crucial for your baby's growth and development. Here's what happens during the first four weeks of your pregnancy: ⚫Week 1: Fertilization Fertilization occurs when a sperm meets an egg in the fallopian tube, resulting in a zygote. This tiny cell begins to divide and grow, starting its journey down the fallopian tube towards the uterus. ⚫Week 2: Implantation The zygote, now called a blastocyst, reaches the uterus and implants itself into the uterine lining. The blastocyst starts producing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which helps maintain the pregnancy. The embryo's major organs and body systems begin to form. ⚫Week 3: Embryogenesis The embryo's growth accelerates, and its major organs and body systems continue to develop. The heart begins to beat, and blood vessels start to form. The embryo's limbs, digits, and facial features begin to take shape. ⚫Week 4: Gastrulation The embryo undergoes gastrulation, where its cells differentiate into three primary layers: ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. These layers will eventually form all the tissues and organs in the body. The embryo's growth is rapid, and its major organs and body systems continue to develop. Stay tuned for our next update, where we'll explore what happens during the next four weeks (the second month) of your pregnancy.
