Week 5
The mass of cells is developing fast and becomes an embryo. For many women the first sign of pregnancy is a missed period.
Shopbought tests are considered largely reliable so the mother-to-be does not have to have her pregnancy confirmed by her GP. If a first test is negative a second one a few days later may prove positive as hormone levels in the urine rise.

Week 6
The embryo officially becomes a foetus. It is about the size of a baked bean and its spine and nervous system begin to form.
The foetus already has its own blood system and may be a different blood group from its mother. Blood vessels are forming in what will become the umbilical cord and tiny buds which will become limbs appear.   

Aside from being the Prom Queen, pregnancy is probably the happiest and the most exciting part of a woman's life. However, the bulging tummy, the stretchmarks, and the fetus will not appear in an instant. It is a journey that will last up to nine months. And like any other health condition, there are early signs of pregnancy that will tell you that you must prepare in this nine-month long journey. These pregnancy signs will surely tell you that you are already carrying a child inside you without the use of do-it-yourself home pregnancy kits or without seeking the advice of a professional doctor.

One of the first signs of pregnancy is the delayed menstrual period. If you are already a month or two months delayed, then you are probably pregnant. However, it can only be easily determined by women who have a regular menstrual cycle. But if you are not sexually active and you have a delayed period, it is probably due to stress or other factors that affects your hormones.

Infertility affects 1 out of 6 couples. A lot of these couples go on to have unexplained infertility. I have been trying to conceive for over four years with no success. I have undergone many fertility treatments such as in virto fertilization.

They have still not found a reason of why I cannot get pregnant. In all my doctors appointments none of the doctors discussed how nutrition could play a role in my fertility. Foods have an affect on our hormone balance which plays a role in fertility.

Certain foods help in egg development, building of the endometrial lining, sperm count and quality. Organic foods are very beneficial in conception and fetal development. These foods contain a lot of necessary vitamins and minerals. Folic acid is one of the most important vitamins to take in pre-conception. Folic acid prevents birth defects.
