What's Happening with Baby:
- First body parts appear
- Embryo is 1/5 inch long by the 4th week
- Implanting of egg into uterine wall occurs

What's Happening with Mom:
- No weight gain

Special concerns during this time of your pregnancy:
- Proper nutrition is essential! From the moment of conception your baby depends on you for energy, vitamins, minerals, calcium and iron from the food you eat. Avoid drinking any alcoholic beverages. Do not stop taking any prescription medications needed until you have spoken with your physician. Regular, moderate exercise will not hurt your baby.
