The second week of pregnancy – very early term of development of a fruit, and during this period the woman quite often does not even suspect that expects a baby. If the fact of existence of pregnancy is established, there is inevitable desire to learn what occurs at this moment in an organism.
The second week of pregnancy from the medical point of view
In medicine the approach of the second week of pregnancy is counted two weeks later after the previous periods. From the embryonic point of view, calculation is carried out from the middle of a cycle. As for one more, "female" point of view, some women begin to reckon from a delay of menstruation. In it there is the share of rationality: if there comes the delay, the woman can guess the reason of this state at once.
It is worth understanding that occurs in an organism from the points of view of obstetric and embryonic approach. In the first case as doctors consider, on the second week of pregnancy the organism is only prepared for possible conception. Maturing of the next ovum comes to the end, and there is an approach of an ovulation. When planning conception the woman watches a cycle and is it is aware of approach of important day. However pregnancy, per se, did not occur from the medical point of view yet. When counting by an embryonic method the second week means just direct development of a fruit. Already there was a fixing of fetal egg in a uterus cavity, and future kid actively grows.
Whether it is possible to carry out the test for pregnancy
Considering what from a medical position of pregnancy on the second week not yet, it is necessary to use the test not on it, and on definition of an ovulation which is also on sale in pharmacies. Besides, measurement of basal temperature which is taken every morning, right after awakening helps with calculation of an ovulation. The thermometer is located in an oral cavity, a rectum or a vagina. If there came the ovulation, basal temperature increases a little.
The most impatient can use nevertheless the test for pregnancy which is capable to show relevant result for couple of days to the expected periods. To receive exact data after two weeks of embryonic term, it is necessary to adhere to several recommendations:
- modern tests yield the most exact results in the morning;
- single use of the test does not guarantee exact result therefore it is better to carry out 2-3 checks in each several days;
- the recommended testing time – in the first days of a delay, but not before approach monthly;
- test results are shown within 10 minutes therefore it is worth waiting a little to make sure available or lack of the second strip;
- upon purchase of tests it is necessary to check their expiration date.
It should be noted that during the two-week embryonic period at women the level of a horionichesky gonadotrophin (HGCh) therefore for identification of pregnancy it is possible to resort to the corresponding blood test in policlinic increases. Visit of the gynecologist who is capable to report about existence of pregnancy on increase in a uterine cavity at its inspection will be also useful.
Physical and psychological feelings on the second week
During an ovulation the woman as a rule has no noticeable feelings. On the contrary, there pass menstrual pains, the weakness accompanying them and other unpleasant moments. However later few weeks after conception the following signs can be observed:
- the breast bulks up, and there are sensitive nipples;
- the discomfort in the lower area of a stomach is felt;
- there are first signals of toxicosis (the appetite is broken, there is nausea).
It is worth celebrating that two weeks – extremely small period for manifestation of these and other symptoms therefore they can not be at all. Besides, quite often feelings arise not because of pregnancy, and in connection with psychological experiences. For example, the woman very much wants and seeks to become pregnant therefore it seems to her that the accompanying changes in an organism already occurred.
Various other signs also can be characteristic of two weeks of an embryonic cycle. For example, during this period the lowering of arterial pressure and small increase of urination are noted. Flavoring addictions can change and become gradually more sensitive sense of smell. These symptoms are observed against the background of the fast hormonal reorganization of an organism not characteristic of a usual condition of an organism of the woman.
Allocations on the initial term of pregnancy
At most of women in the first two weeks of development of a fruit allocations from a genital tract of various character are periodically observed. Treat them:
- The mucous allocations reminding egg white. They are observed in small quantities, have no smell. It is quite normal sign of the beginning of pregnancy showing the normal course of hormonal reorganization of an organism.
- Bloody allocations. They have no relation to monthly and are shown quite poorly, leaving only a brownish mark on underwear or toilet paper. This sign says that the ovulation is well under way, and fertilization of an ovum already occurred or will occur in the nearest future.
- Plentiful bleeding. It can be as usual periods which began due to the lack of pregnancy, and sign of presence of gynecologic diseases or other problems with an organism. If bleeding does not stop, it is necessary to visit the doctor quickly.
As the fruit after pregnancy approach develops
If to mention not a medical technique of calculation, but embryonic approach, then in an organism of the woman there are most various processes. The impregnated ovum is fixed in a uterine cavity and begins to share quickly. Gradually monocelled embryo turns into multicellular (morul). In the nearest future development of the main systems of future organism of the child will already begin. When using obstetric approach on the second week in a female body so far there is only an ovulation, and the ripened ovum leaves a follicle.
When passing ultrasonography on the second week after conception it is still difficult to receive enough information. When scanning a cavity of a uterus it is possible to make out hardly noticeable black dot – an embryo. It will be better to suffer and glance a little to the doctor on 4-6 week of pregnancy when the most interesting begins: the equipment will be able to record beating of tiny heart of future kid.
