The start of your pregnancy is measured by the last day of your most recent menstrual cycle. Due to this, you are technically not pregnant during the "first" week of your pregnancy. Therefore, you will not experience pregnancy symptoms. However, you may still experience PMS symptoms.
Due to the measurement of pregnancy using the assumption of you having a standard cycle, your estimated due date may not be accurate if you have an irregular cycle.
If you plan on remaining pregnant and raising a healthy baby, it is advised to take folic acid and iron supplements. When choosing prenatal vitimans, options with a minimum of .4 mg (400 micrograms) of folic acid are recommended.

You are ovulating during this week, and will experience the symtoms associated with ovulation. Due to how pregnancy is measured, you are not technically considered pregnant during the second week of pregnancy. Even if you conceive during this week, you are considered two weeks pregnant. If a sperm manages to travel into your vagina, through your cervix, through your uterus, into one of your fallopian tubes, and then penetrates one of your eggs, you will become pregnant.
If you are trying to get pregnant, having as much sex as possible during this week will increase your chances of becoming pregnant. If you want to try to calculate your own due date; add seven days to the first day of your last missed period, then subtract three months.

At three weeks pregnant, you are officially considered pregnant. You may experience light vaginal bleeding known as implanation bleeding (as it can occur when the fertilized egg implants itself on the uterus lining). You may experience an increased basal body temperature. You may experience mild cramping or lower abdominal pressure as your uterus begins to expand. You may start to experience a heightened sense of smell, and a metallic taste in your mouth.
At this stage the embryo or zygote is so small that some may compare it to the size of a poppy seed. The actual size at this stage, however, is approximately 5x smaller than a poppy seed. It is still too early for a pregancy test to show up as positive.

Symptoms experienced during this week can be very similar to those experienced shortly before a typical period. These symptoms include breast tenderness, headaches, lower backaches, and nausea. Your embryo is less than 2 millimeters in size. The placenta is starting to form.
At four weeks, you are finally far enough along to take a pregnancy test, and for that test to show up as positive. If the test is negative, and you still suspect that you are pregnant, wait one week before taking another test.

You should be aware that you are pregnant at this point due to missing your period. The levels of hCG in your body are high enough to be detected by a pregnancy test. If you have confirmed that you are pregnant and are planning on continuing the pregnancy, it is recommended to schedule a prenatal appointment.
If you haven't already started taking prenatal vitamins, now is a good time to start. It is recommended to limit your caffeine intake to 200mg per day or less. If you are smoker or vaper (of any kind), now is the time to quit.
While it is still to early to experience a whole lot in the way of pregnancy symptoms at this point, you may start to experience the nausea known as "morning sickness." Despite the name, this nausea can be present at any time of day. You have a roughly 50% chance of experiencing this nausea during your pregnancy.
If you experience severe nausea to the point where you are unable to keep any food down and/or are losing weight, you may have hypermesis gravidarum (this affects approximately 1% of pregnant persons). If so, talk to your doctor. You may experience a heightened sense of smell alongside new food aversions/food cravings.
Additional symptoms you may also experience due to the new changes in your hormone levels include; excessive saliva, constipation, mood swings, increased vaginal discharge, lightheadedness, abdominal cramps, achey/sore/sensitive/tingly/swollen breasts, fatigue, and an increased urge to urinate. It is important for you to stay hydrated.
You have an approximately one in four chance of experiencing spotting or light bleeding during the first trimester. This bleeding typically means nothing but can be a sign of a miscarriage of an ectopic pregnancy, so check with your provider just in case. If you are bleeding alongside severe pain, go to the emergency department immediately.
While it is deeply unlikely you will appear visibly pregnant at this point, you may experience some abdominal bloating. The placenta is starting to form. What was previously considered an embryo is now a fetus measuring at approximately 2-3 millimeters in size, and looks somewhat like a tadpole. Some may compare the size to that of an orange seed. It has a heartbeat and the start of a circulatory system. The fetal skeleton, and the structures that will become its eyes and ears are beginning to form.

At week six, many of the symptoms continue to resemble PMS symptoms. Fatigue, bloating, headaches, sore breasts, and cramping. While you are not yet visibly pregnant, your uterus is starting to grow and may press on your bladder, resulting in increased urination. There is now increased bloodflow to your kidneys, which also contributes towards the more frequent urination. You may also experience morning sickness. The fetus is beginning to grow the spinal cord and brain.
At approximately 1/8 of an inch to 1/4 of an inch, the size of the fetus is now comparable to a grain of rice or a pomegranate seed.
If is recommended to schedule your first prenatal appointment.
