Welcome back, my friends, to another step in our Week by Week Pregnancy journey!
Today, we’re diving into Weeks 3 and 4 — the true beginning of life. These may seem like “quiet” weeks, but inside your body, an incredible story is unfolding.

✨ Week 3 of Pregnancy
This is the week of fertilization. A single sperm meets an egg, creating a tiny bundle of cells with all the genetic information needed to grow into your baby. Right now, this cluster of cells is making its way down the fallopian tube, searching for the perfect place to settle. You won’t feel anything yet, but nature is working its magic.

✨ Week 4 of Pregnancy
By Week 4, something extraordinary happens: implantation. The fertilized egg nestles into the lining of your uterus, and your body begins releasing hormones that officially confirm — yes, you are pregnant. Even though you may not know it yet, your journey to motherhood has quietly begun.
Some women notice early signs: a missed period, mild cramping, breast tenderness, or even a little spotting. These are all normal signals of change.

🔬 Pregnancy Tests
At this point, home pregnancy tests can often detect those pregnancy hormones in your urine. But remember, testing too early can give false negatives. Waiting a few days after your missed period often gives more accurate results.

💡 Doctor’s Tips for Weeks 3–4

Start taking a daily prenatal vitamin with folic acid if you haven’t already.

Avoid alcohol, smoking, and limit caffeine — your baby’s foundation is being built right now.

Listen to your body: get rest, hydrate well, and try gentle movement like walking or stretching.

🌱 Why Weeks 3–4 Are So Important
Think of these weeks as the blueprint stage of pregnancy. The embryo is forming its first connections, and your body is preparing a safe, nourishing home. Everything that happens here sets the stage for the months ahead.
