Pregnancy Week by Week/Weeks 1-2: Conception and Early Development
Overview
Week 1 is actually the week of your menstrual period. Though you're not pregnant yet, healthcare providers count this as the first week of pregnancy because they calculate your due date from the first day of your last period. Your body is shedding last month's uterine lining while preparing for the next cycle. Conception typically happens around Week 3.
