Changes occur during 2nd week of pregnancy

Baby's Development -

This may sound strange, but woman are still not pregnant.  Under the influence of hormones, ovulation occurs and the egg bursts out of its follicle. If it meets a sperm, woman may become pregnant. Fertilization of egg by the sperm will only take place near the end of this week.


Woman's Body -

Woman's uterine lining is developing, which will nourish the baby, and body secretes follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), which stimulates an egg to mature. At the end of this week, woman will be at the midpoint of her menstrual cycle and ovulation will occur (ovary will release an egg into the fallopian tube). At this time, woman is most likely to conceive. If woman has sexual intercourse without protection around the time, she can become pregnant.
