Welcome to Week 3

Week 3 is when you will ovulate and conceive. This is the week when your partner’s sperm will fertilise your egg, and the resulting zygote will go on to implant into the wall of your uterus.

Update on Your Body

This week, following sexual intercourse, one of your partner’s sperm cells will fertilise an egg inside your fallopian tube. Once this happens, the fertilised egg, now called a zygote, will move into your uterus to implant itself into your uterine wall. You may not necessarily experience any symptoms or changes in your body at this point. However, some women do experience implantation symptoms, including abdominal cramps, increased vaginal discharge and implantation bleeding.

Update on Your Baby

This week, your baby will go from being a zygote to a blastocyst, rapidly multiplying and growing larger. A placenta will develop and slowly start to secrete the β-HCG hormone into your blood and urine, whose levels once elevated, will help in determining a positive pregnancy test. Your baby will develop vital organs including the digestive system, brain, spinal cord and heart this week. The amniotic fluid that protects your baby inside the womb will also begin to form.

Your Baby’s Size

Practically microscopic, even smaller than a grain of salt.
