You are 2 weeks and 4 days

Big changes are happening in your uterus every day, and within 72 hours the fertilized egg will implant.

262 days until your due date

About four days after fertilization, fluid starts collecting inside the morula. This separates an outer layer of cells, one cell thick, from an inner mass of cells. The inner mass will become the embryo and the outer layer the placenta. The whole structure now has about 58 cells and is called a blastocyst.

The blastocyst spends several days in the cavity of the uterus before implanting. The tough outer surface that protected the morula on its journey disappears as the blastocyst gets ready to implant.

Ask a Mum

Why are people so interested in whether I've conceived?

Once I told people I was trying for a baby, they were extremely interested, which was hard, especially in the week I was waiting to find out. The best response is to say you'll let people know if there's news. If you're struggling to conceive, telling people you're having difficulties should stop them asking.

Health: Fertility, the alternative approach

If you're having trouble conceiving, or just want to improve your chances, you could try a complementary therapy. Always tell the practitioner you might be pregnant.

Reflexology presses points on the feet to improve energy flow to specific parts of the body. There are plenty of personal stories of it helping conception, but no scientific evidence yet. It may help relieve stress, which can be a factor for couples struggling to conceive.
Acupuncture is based on the idea that problems such as infertility come from blockages in the body's energy flow (qi), which fine needles in points linked to the reproductive organs can clear. A 2008 review of seven studies of more than 1,300 women having fertility treatment found that acupuncture around embryo transfer increased the chance of pregnancy.

It's less clear whether acupuncture helps couples who aren't having treatment, but it's thought to improve male fertility by improving sperm health and reducing stress.

This is general information based on NHS guidance, not medical advice, and every pregnancy is different. Talk to your midwife or GP about anything that worries you. If your baby's movements slow down or change, or you have bleeding, severe pain or leaking fluid, call your maternity unit straight away. In an emergency, call 999.
