Pregnancy Week 4
The cells making up the ovum are beginning to differentiate and specialize in areas of development. Some cells will make up the embryo; others the amniotic sac and placenta etc. The ovum, which has been floating around in your uterus, will implant into the wall of the uterus. Now comes an exciting time of rapid growth! The amniotic sac, amniotic cavity and yolk sac are developing. The placenta is beginning to form now
Advice for Mom
Many women do not experience any symptoms this early. But you may start experiencing some early symptoms of pregnancy such as: Fatigue and tiredness Frequent Urination Nausea vomiting - Morning Sickness Heartburn Indigestion Flatulence bloating Craving and aversions to certain foods Breast tenderness soreness, and enlargement the areola (pigmented area that surrounds the nipple) will darken
If you are feeling weepy, irrational or have mood swings, take heart -- this is perfectly normal! Morning sickness could set in anytime now: you might not know you're pregnant yet, but your body sure does! A home pregnancy test may show positive, but you may want to wait a few days for more accurate results. Some women will wrap a positive test result up as a gift to their partner!

Hi!!I just found out I'm pregnant! I am guessing I am 4 weeks.( I won't know til my first OBGYN visit)
I am so exited!
Im 31, this is our first baby and its such an amazing feeling to know something inside of me will be growing.
So far, I do have to pee more than usual, and I do get craps, but no morning sickness yet. But I guess that's coming soon? :S

Just like to share my news of a positive test after 2 months of trying and at 42 feel very relieved. This is my fourth pregnancy and it's been very different to last 3 . That's what I want to share!
Foul bitter taste in mouth on Tongue started a week ago. Bought Tongue scraper and mouth wash but it would not go away.
Researched it and found alot of women experience it as a first sign of pregnancy! They were right ! Sore boobs tiredness and bitter taste!
Now it's a positive not a negative and worth it LOL
So an early symptom to be aware of : )

Pregers again...yay!
This will be our second child and we are very happy. I knew I was pregnant 36 hours after conception. I got a few cramps and "twinges" in my breast. Happy to say I got pregnant on my Birthday (age 32). Good luck to all of you.
