Pregnancy Week - 2

Your physician begins counting your pregnancy from the first day of your previous period. It means you are officially two weeks pregnant, but in reality, you may not be pregnant at all. However, your body is getting ready for it. A lot of pre-pregnancy changes occur in your body for a healthy pregnancy. During your second week of pregnancy, your body starts getting ready to ovulate. But, if you have entered your second week of cycle and want to conceive, then we have some good advice for you.

How big is your 2 weeks baby?

Well, there is still no baby! It can be a little dicey as doctors calculate pregnancy week like this, but they cannot pinpoint conception. The egg is released from the ovary which is likely to get conceived only if you opt for unprotected sex. This is the reason why doctors count your pregnancy week. So, by the time you come to know about your pregnancy, you are around 4-6 weeks pregnancy, even if you don’t have a baby in second week.
