Do you know that you are not pregnant in week 1 of your pregnancy? Your pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). You will not have pregnancy symptoms after 1 week of conception. At this point, there may be nothing growing in your uterus.

Doctors use the first day of your LMP. The reason is that most women can easily remember it. It is difficult to use the time of ovulation or conception because the exact time is not known.

Conception takes place around the second to the third week of pregnancy. So, you won’t experience pregnancy symptoms during this first week.

During the first week of your pregnancy, the baby doesn’t exist yet. Your baby is still in your ovary. The sperm to fertilize it is still in your partner.

During the first week of your pregnancy, you will not notice any changes in your belly size. You will not have pregnancy symptoms after 1 week of conception. Some changes in belly size and the breasts will occur in a few weeks.

So while you are not pregnant, most women know the date of their last menstrual period. It is a more effective way of calculating your pregnancy.

While preparing for conception, ensure you get enough sleep. Also, reduce stressful activities, take a prenatal vitamin, and cut less-healthy habits.

As earlier stated, you will not notice pregnancy symptoms after 1 week of conception. You will have your period this week. After this period, it may take a long while before you see another. During pregnancy, you do not see your period.

The uterine lining that developed last month is about to be shed off. It comes out as your period and lasts a few days.

Many exciting things are happening during this week. The follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulate your ovaries to produce follicles.

There is an egg inside every follicle. A follicle will become dominant and release an egg. The sperm will fertilize this egg and form your baby in 40 weeks.

You are familiar with symptoms like vaginal bleeding, bloating, cravings, mood swings, headaches, etc.

Vaginal bleeding.
The wall of the uterus sheds off monthly during your menstrual cycle. When fertilization does not take place, the eggs are shed off too. This may be associated with mild or severe abdominal cramps.

Bloating.
The fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone can cause a bloated belly.

Cravings.
Some people notice funny feelings during this period. While some want salt, others prefer ice. There are a few that do not know what they want (no judgment). These changes are a result of the changing hormone levels in the body.

Other changes include:

Mood swings
Headaches
Fatigue
Low back pains or cramps
