Changes occur during 1st week of pregnancy

Baby's Development -

This first week is actually menstrual period. Because expected date of delivery (EDD) is calculated from the first day of last period, this week counts as part of your 40-week pregnancy. By the end of the first week after conception, the fertilised egg has made its way along the fallopian tube and attached itself to the womb lining.


Woman's Body -

Woman is having a period, then she is not pregnant. But if she conceive during this menstrual cycle, the first day of her period will count as the first day of pregnancy. Before becoming pregnant, woman should -
  • Avoid alcohol, drugs, and tobacco products.
  • Talk to doctor about any prescription and nonprescription drugs. 
  • You'll need to take special precautions with medications.
  • Maintain a diet that contains an adequate amount of vitamins, especially folic acid.
