Please keep in mind that this
information is approximate. Each pregnancy is different and growth rates
vary. If you have any questions, please check with your care provider.
Fetal Development:
 |  Because
we are counting with the gestational age method, week one begins with
the first day of your menstrual period. Conception hasn't yet occurred,
but you already get to start counting. Such a deal - see how time
flies when you're having fun! |
Maternal Changes:
|
Your period has just started and
you may be thinking about conception. For women with a 28 day cycle,
ovulation occurs around 14 days after the start of your menstrual cycle.
Now is a good time to begin healthy habits (if you haven't yet!).
Start your pregnancy diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables; exercise; start taking additional folic acid
if you haven't already; and stop smoking, drinking alcohol, and using
over-the-counter medications. Stay away from toxic materials and rest
well. Start "thinking pregnant" before you conceive so you can give
your baby the best start possible.
