Week 4: Missed Period
If you were having natural cycles, this is when you would typically miss your period. Your baby is growing rapidly and developing essential structures.
Pregnancy Confirmation
By now, most pregnancy tests should show a positive result. Your healthcare provider may schedule your first prenatal appointment.
Fetal Development
Your baby is now about the size of a sesame seed. The heart is beginning to form, and the neural tube is closing to protect the developing brain and spinal cord.
Early Symptoms
You may notice increased fatigue, breast changes, or mild nausea. These symptoms are caused by rising pregnancy hormones and are completely normal.
