Pregnancy Week3

However, the week by week calendar of pregnancy has already entered the third week of first trimester pregnancy. The required sperm cell has hit the right spot on the female's fallopian tube. The resulting fertilized egg is busy expanding in the fallopian tube to become a zygote. The next stage entails shifting of this multiplied zygote into the uterus where it rests under the shed of thick uterus walls for the upcoming weeks of pregnancy.

The entire process as mentioned takes about 8 - 12 days. Slight pregnancy spotting can occur during the third week of pregnancy. This is very normal and can be ignored.

In the event that more than one egg is fertilized or one egg divides into two, twin pregnancy is expected. During week three of pregnancy, the zygote or your cherished baby is just about 0.1 - 0.2 mm large.
