Your Baby This Week
The fertilized egg travels down the fallopian tube and begins implanting in the uterine wall. The ball of cells (blastocyst) is dividing into what will become the embryo and the placenta.
Your Body This Week
Most women do not feel anything yet. Some may notice very light spotting (implantation bleeding) or mild cramping.
Good to Do Now
Continue your prenatal vitamins. Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and any medications not approved by your doctor.
