WEEK ONE

My Baby - WEEK ONE

When does pregnancy begin? Unless you're using ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology), it's impossible to know the exact moment of conception. For this reason, most health-care providers count 40 weeks from the date of your last menstrual period, or LMP, to calculate your due date. According to this method, pregnancy actually begins about two weeks before the sperm penetrates the egg. The baby's gestational age corresponds to the actual date of conception.
