Pregnancy Calendar: First Trimester >> Weeks 3 - 4*
"If this womb's a-rockin'..."
Hey Baby! Where U At?
An egg has been fertilized -- that's you, baby! You are in what is called the "pre-embryonic stage" which includes conception in fallopian tubes, implantation in uterine lining, and formation of the placenta.
Maternal Observations and Unsolicited Advice**
The truth is that mom is either very hopeful or very clueless right now. If you're in the "hopeful" group, I'd recommend relaxing and enjoying life before the nausea hits. Speaking of which, check out my Pregnancy Tea Infusion now before you're hanging over a toilet. You may be interested in a pregnancy test
... or a nice book
to just get your mind off it.

*Note: This calendar is based on the LMP (Last Menstrual Period) system of measuring the length of pregnancy as 40 weeks (±2 weeks) from the first day of the mother's last menstrual period. Subtract two weeks to get the fetus' approximate age in weeks. **Advice is from a total know-it-all mother of one who has no business giving advice to pregnant women, other than that she was once pregnant too. This calendar is provided for entertainment purposes only and should not even come close to replacing care from your prenatal health professional.
