Your Changing Body

 

Pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period which is about two weeks earlier than when conception likely occurred.

Generally, two weeks before your next expected menstrual period, ovulation takes place. This is when an egg is released from the ovary. If a sperm and egg come together, conception, or fertilization takes place. At the moment of conception, all 46 chromosomes are present for the complete genetic make-up of this new life.

Some common pregnancy symptoms include: nausea and vomiting, appetite change, breast tenderness, breast enlargement and frequent urination.
