It is at the
end of this week when a pregnant woman will be hoping against having
her period. A missed period is one of the very first indications
that conception has occurred.
Pre-menstrual
symptoms are very similar to signs of pregnancy at this time, such
as cramping and fatigue, and so if you're on pins and needles wondering
if you're pregnant, you may want to try a pregnancy test. However,
if you wait one more week the results will likely be more accurate.
If you truly
are pregnant, toward the end of this fourth week, the cell mass
that will become your baby, or blastocyst, is settling into the
wall of your uterus. Cells are rapidly multiplying and sorting themselves
into the baby and the placenta, and the amniotic sac is beginning
to form as well.
