Maternity Pregnancy

On your week four of pregnancy, your baby can now be called an embryo. Simply consists of two layers of cells called the hypoblasts and the epiblasts. These cell layers will soon develop and become your baby’s organs and body parts. This is the most crucial time of development for the baby’s organs and the baby is at its most vulnerable time. Some of the organs will begin functioning as it also starts to develop.

Luteal phase the term used to call the week four of pregnancy. With high progesterone, tendering breasts and nipples is part of the experience. It will also continue to intensify. Weight gain is not yet visible because the baby is still miniscule in size but hormones will be acting crazy and mood swings are expected from this point until the end of gestation.

The baby continues its implantation in your uterus, burying itself deep in your endometrial lining. The baby will try to help its mother by secreting the HCG or human chorionic gonadotropin which helps maintain lining your uterus. It is also responsible in sending signals to your ovary to stop its releasing of eggs every month. At the moment, cramping and bleeding is still normal, sometimes it is mistaken for a monthly period because it usually occurs at the exact time the period is suppose to occur.

Placenta at its early stage is forming and the very beginning of the connecting stalk which will eventually become the umbilical cord – has appeared. Yolk sac will be present until placenta will be fully functioning. Maternal Blood and vascular networks are being established.

When is the right time to take a pregnancy test?

Your body is now producing enough hormones, you are now ready for a pregnancy test. A negative does not always mean that it’s nothing, sometimes hormone levels could be low that the pregnancy test and clinical test cannot find it yet. Wait for another week and try again.

Does a faint line even counts as positive?

More likely, yes. You may have been producing high amounts of HCG that the pregnancy test has detected it. To show more positive results, take the test early in the morning when the urine is most concentrated.

If you still want to be more accurate take another test two to three days after, and if still in doubt, see a doctor for a full examination. If ever that the second test is completely negative, you may have had an early miscarriage which is unfortunately very common. However, if the second test is still positive, congratulations! A baby is on its way, which means you have to have healthier diet and avoid alcohol and smokes.
