The first week of pregnancy has a silent arrival. You’d never know you’re pregnant, and, lo and behold, your egg gets fertilized by a cheerful wriggling sperm! But, not all women’s eggs are as lucky as this one. Thanks to the unhealthy lifestyle and hectic schedule of the modern world, an increasing number of couples are trying hard to get pregnant. It’s not a rare sight to see couples seeking professional help for having a baby. Most of the infertile couples opt for medication or surgery as a form of treatment. Instead of asking for weekly pregnancy tips, they are asking for weekly how-to-get-pregnant tips!

But, it’s interesting to note that a large number of cases are not that of infertility, but of “stressed-out sex life.” And most of the people diagnosed with infertility are only suffering the consequences of their unhealthy lifestyle. When trying to conceive, the first thing that a couple should do is chill out. Then, they should take a look at their bodies. Are they fit? Do they follow a healthy diet? Even small things like wearing tight jeans or keeping a laptop on the lap for a long time can induce infertility in men!

Now, there are many women who have no idea of pregnancy week by week. Well, if you’re not informed right now as a mom-to-be, how can you be a smart, well-informed mom later? Remember, you can hardly know how your first week of pregnancy passes (this is calculated from the first day of your last period). In fact, in the first week, you’re hardly pregnant. You ovulate (according to a 28-day menstrual cycle) in the second week and it is then that you get fertilized. And by the third week, your fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus. When this happens, there starts a series of pregnancy symptoms that makes you think about taking a pregnancy test and referring to a weekly pregnancy guide.

Most of the time, it’s only when women miss their period that they go for tests. By that time, you’ve already passed one month of pregnancy! The smart thing to do when getting your pregnancy confirmed is to get a week by week pregnancy calendar. It gives you an idea of what happens in pregnancy every week. It includes pregnancy symptoms as well as fetus development.

As soon as the first week of pregnancy passes by, many women begin to get a feeling that they are pregnant. And by the beginning of the third week, you are going to be engulfed with full-fledged symptoms like morning sickness, tender breasts and more. It’s good to jot down each moment in a pregnancy diary. You should always cherish your pregnancy days and not let them pass by in oblivion.
