The Fourth Week of Pregnancy: Implantation

Implantation, is process of adherence of the embryo in the uterine wall, occurs roughly when you expect to get your period. At this early stage, you feel pain in your stomach and you notice bleeding spots, but many future moms still do not feel any changes.

During the fourth week of pregnancy (approximately five days after conception), comes to implantation. When the embryo, which is now called a blastocyst, reaches the uterus, it requires a good place to nestle, ie. to implant. He then goes below the surface of the wall of the uterus, and its cells begin to divide into two groups: those that form the placenta and those that form the baby.

What happens to your body?
Morning sicknessNausea, which usually occurs in the morning, is one of the earliest and probably best known signs of pregnancy. Some women feel mild disgust, and don't feel nothing at all, while there are moms that can hardly put something in their mouth, in this period. Between 50 and 90 percent of women feel sick to a greater or lesser degree.
How long does it take?Usualy morning sickness stops at the end of the first trimester, but there are women who feel discomfort for several weeks longer, therefore in the second trimester also.
What is the cause?
Interesting is that scientists are still not sure why morning sickness occurs. They have several theories, such as the one that all the blame falls on increased level of hormones in the body. One of the explanations is also increased sensitivity to odors.
What helps against nausea?Avoid strong odors. Garlic and onions, roasted meats and spicy foods can cause vomiting, also strong perfumes, soaps, detergent, dirty clothes, containers, gas stations, smoke ... However, you can not avoid all the smells. Doctors have figured out a way to combat nausea - lemon therapy. Smelling lemon is like putting a fence around your sensitive nose. If you are not at home, soak a napkin with lemon juice or some other scent that works calming to your nerves and stomach and take it with you.
Against nausea low-fat crackers or toast can help. But every woman should discover what suits her the best: there are those who like to eat some cheese or a handful of almonds and hazelnuts, and they immediately get better.

When you should be worriedFor most women, nausea is unpleasant symptom of pregnancy, but if you vomit frequently, several times a day, you should check if you suffer from a condition called hyperemesis gravidarium. Treatment is sometimes hospital, because it can lead to excessive fatigue, which can harm the developing of the baby.

The outer layer will later form the skin, hair, eyes, tooth surfaces and salivary glands. From the middle layer blood vascular system, muscle, kidney and ureter will be formed. The inner layer is converted into the trachea, bladder, ureters, prostate, ear canals, liver and pancreas.

How big is baby?Your baby is growing ... but it's still very, very small. Its length is about one millimeter.

Frequently asked questions about pregnancyWhen should I see a doctor?
You think you're pregnant? To be sure, you have decided to do pregnancy test. This test is based on the detection of hCG or human chorionic ganadotropina. This hormone is produced after fertilization and is responsible for the first symptoms of pregnancy.
The test can be done as soon as your menstruation fall behind , which is about two weeks after fertilization. If you follow the instructions and get a positive test result, chances are big that you are indeed pregnant. However, the test may be negative if you do it too early or did not follow the instructions on the package.

Wait a day and repeat the test, do it in the morning because then the concentration of hCG in urine is largest. If this time the test is positive, the next step is scheduling a gynecologist and final confirmation of the pregnancy by blood test.
