What's happening at 4 weeks

Implantation. The first cells of your baby are nestling into the uterus.

What your baby is doing

A bundle of cells called a blastocyst is dividing rapidly and burrowing into your uterine lining. The amniotic sac is forming.

What's happening to you

Possible spotting, fatigue, breast tenderness. You may have just gotten the faintest line on a test.

On the heartbeat

No heartbeat yet — the cardiac tube hasn't formed. But the cells that will become it are already dividing.
