Size: A pin head
If conception happened, the fertilized egg is now a blastocyst — a tiny ball of about 70-100 cells traveling down the fallopian tube toward the uterus. It will implant in the uterine wall by the end of this week.
💕 What She's Going Through
Most women feel nothing. Some notice very light spotting (implantation bleeding) or mild cramping. She might feel slightly more tired than usual.
💪 What You Should Do This Week
- ✓Keep being supportive and patient — there's nothing to 'do' yet
- ✓Make sure prenatal vitamins are stocked
- ✓Avoid any major stressors if possible
🚫 Don't Say This
