Pregnancy Week 1

Okay, so this week is a little weird, because YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY PREGNANT YET! Can we give a big WTF to this! The reason that this week is part of your pregnancy is because doctors calculate from the first day of your last period, and assume you have a regular 28 day cycle,  for easy calculation of a 40 week pregnancy. This results you not being pregnant at all in the first couple weeks of your pregnancy,

What is happening right now is your body is preparing for an essential part of the pregnancy process...ovulation.  Right now the lining of your uterus is thickening preparing for a fertilized egg to attach.  All the while the follicles on your fallopian tube are beginning to mature, and one of these follicles will release the egg that if met by sperm will become your happy little baby!
