Did you know that in 1-2 weeks you are still not really pregnant? It may sound strange, but it is not until 3 weeks of pregnancy that officially forms in the womb. Here are the miraculous changes in both mother and baby during this first 3 weeks of pregnancy.
Development of 3 weeks pregnant
The size of the fetus
In weeks 1-2, the fetus is just a small sign that you can hardly recognize, by the third week, the embryo has formed but the size is still very small.
The first 3 weeks of pregnancy
How does the fetus develop?
In weeks 1-2, the embryo is not yet formed, but your body is preparing for release and your uterus is preparing for the arrival of a fertilized egg.
In the third week, the real journey begins! Your fertilized egg moves toward the uterus, along the fallopian tube. By the time the egg reaches the uterus, a set of more than 100 cells will form called an embryo. The primary embryo creates a pathway to the lining of the uterus,

The first signs of pregnancy
As mentioned, weeks 1-2 you cannot confirm that you are pregnant, but this is the last stage of your period. At this point, the uterine lining will release with a fertilized egg in preparation for the formation of the placenta.
Once the menstrual cycle is over, you may notice a change in the lining of the cervix with consistency and color - from thick, sticky, creamy, to thinner, softer and more sticky with increase in size as a sign of the moment of conception

At the end of 3 weeks when the embryo is “implanted” into the uterus, you may notice a small, “bleeding” speck.
You may notice that the breasts become soft and slightly swollen, and appear to be larger than before pregnancy.
You may also feel more tired than usual.
You can become more sensitive to the smell - don't be surprised if you find yourself suddenly uncomfortable with the scent of your favorite perfume.
Body temperature graph (even when you are completely resting) will show that your body temperature is always high.
You may be positive for some home pregnancy tests.
Note taking care of pregnant mothers during this period
If you haven't taken vitamin supplements during pregnancy, now is a good time to start.
Quit smoking and alcohol, eat a healthy diet, and drink at least six to eight glasses of water a day.
To ensure the healthy development of the unformed fetal brain and spinal cord, start taking 400mg of folic acid per day.
You should also cut back on coffee, as caffeine can have a negative effect on fertility.
