What Can I Expect?

During Week 2 Of Your Pregnancy You May Not Even
Be Sure That You Are Pregnant. Its Still A Few
Days Before Your Ovulation In Other Words Its
The Second Week After Your Last Period.

What Exactly Is Ovulation?
Ovulation is when one of your two ovaries will
release one or more eggs. This is the most
fertile time of your monthly period. Its
impossible to predict which ovary will release
the egg, as its pretty random. Every month 15
to 20 eggs mature inside your ovaries and the
ripest egg is released into your pelvic cavity
and pushed into the fallopian tube.

How Can I Tell When And How Will I Ovulate?
Ovulation usually takes place between 12 to 16
days before the start of your next period. For
most women the average monthly cycle before they
get their next period is 28 days. First day of
your monthly period is considered day one of your
monthly cycle. So ovulation would happen around
day 14 or 15 of your monthly cycle. The length of
a normal monthly period varies between 23 days
and 35 days so ovulation can occur earlier or
later in the cycle

How Can I Tell When And How Will I Ovulate?
If you are planning to get pregnant, the simplest
way is to monitor your monthly periods and find
out the number of days your cycle lasts. There
are some subtle external changes that happen in
your body that can tell you when you are
ovulating.

How Can I Tell When And How Will I Ovulate?

• Studies have shown that changes in cervical mucus
  can help women predict their most fertile days.
  As your monthly cycle progresses your cervical
  mucus changes its texture and increases in
  volume. These changes indicate that the hormonal
  levels of oestrogen in your body are increasing
  and its close to ovulate.
• You may experience mild pain in the pelvic region
  which is known as mittelschermz. This may last
  from few minutes to a few hours. This pain can be
  a useful guide to you to know your fertile period.

• You may also develop a heightened sense of smell
  and taste during your fertile period. When you
  feel slight changes in your taste you can also
  check the condition of your cervical mucus to be
  certain.
• Increase in libido is another sign you are
  ovulating. If you are felling sexy and your mood
  has improved these are all signs that you are at
  your most fertile period.
• Today you have ovulation kits available in the
  pharmacy that can detect hormonal changes in your
  saliva or urine.

• An increase in basal temperature can also tell
  you when you are fertile. When you are ovulating
  your temperature raises by a couple of degrees
  from your baseline.

9
What Is Fertilization?
The process of fertilization is from where it all
begins. This is how your baby is conceived.
Around the third week of your pregnancy your egg
is fertilized by your partners single sperm.
This single cell is called zygote and its
important that this zygote travels down to your
uterus and multiplies. The process of
fertilization is complex and fascinating at the
same time. After intercourse millions of sperm
rush to fertilize the egg, but only one sperm is
successful. When the egg is fertilized the
remaining sperm give up and move away from the
fallopian tube where they disintegrate.

Physical Changes In You At Week 2
Look for signs like increase in libido, increase
in basal temperature and increase in cervical
mucus to see if you have ovulated. As mentioned
above ovulation usually takes around 13 to 15
days after the first day of your monthly period.
11
Emotional changes in you at week 2
Your mood will have improved this week. You will
be happy and chirpy because of your increased
libido. Overall you will be feeling attractive
and pretty good about yourself.
12
Hows My Baby Doing?
Your baby will not have been conceived this week
and its still a few days away from conception.
The single cell you will release from your
ovaries midway between your monthly cycles will
have your babys genetic information.

Useful Tips For This Week

• Smoking can harm your babys health when it is
  conceived. Smoking and second hand smoke
  increases the chance of miscarriage and still
  births in pregnant women.
• Start taking your prenatal vitamins especially
  folic acid. Studies have shown folic acid is
  essential in forming the babys spine and will
  prevent spinal bifida.
• If you are planning to get pregnant plan a
  romantic dinner for your husband so that you can
  have some intimate time and get in the mood.
