2 Weeks Pregnant

Your egg is on the move.

Your baby's development

Your body is still getting ready for pregnancy.

At second week of pregnancy, there's no baby yet, but your egg is awaiting fertilization in your fallopian tube, and your body is preparing for conception. How can you be two weeks pregnant before your baby is conceived? There's an easy explanation.

An egg, maturing within one of your ovaries, releases.
This process, called ovulation, usually occurs approximately 11 to 14 days after your period.
After ovulation, the egg moves into one of your fallopian tubes, which connects your ovaries and uterus, and waits to be fertilized.
If you have intercourse during ovulation, you might become pregnant.
