Mam: Pregnant 4 weeks (Baby 2 weeks)

This is the week when most women suspect they might be pregnant

Week 4 is when most women suspect they are pregnant.  Your period will not occur, and you may notice some slight spotting as the embryo implants.  Your amniotic cavity and the placenta, which will bring oxygen and food to the baby, are forming in your uterus.  All systems go! [1]

Worried about toxins?  Avoid unwashed vegetables, which can carry toxoplasmosis (toxic to the baby).  Mercury, which can damage the baby’s brain, is found in sushi and large fish like shark, king mackerel and swordfish.  And, avoid soft cheeses (e.g. Brie) and deli meat, in case they contain listeria that can trigger miscarriage.
