Week 2: One in a Million

Welcome to week 2 of pregnancy! This week, you have ovulated, and your egg is successfully fertilized. Your body is now undergoing many changes that will manifest in the coming weeks. Most immediately, the uterus is preparing for the egg to attach to its wall. It is building a new lining so that your baby finds a favourable environment to grow and develop. Moving forward, more and more noticeable changes will take place as your body responds to the pregnancy. Already in these first few weeks, it is vital to take care of your body in both nutrition and activity. Taking the time to take care of your body will help you mentally, as well as your baby, developmentally!

Though your baby isn’t even attached to the inside wall of your uterus, he is busy laying the foundation for future development. Your baby is barely visible but is already unique in identity. Enjoy these beautiful early days with all the butterflies of nervous excitement, and continue to check back in each week for encouragement along the way. Additionally, each week will bring a little insight into what is happening in the growth and development of your baby.
