First trimester
2 Weeks Pregnant
Early days
How your baby is developing
- The earliest steps toward pregnancy may begin around now, far too small to feel.
- Nothing is measurable yet — this is still preparation.
What may be happening in your body
- 400 micrograms of folic acid a day is recommended from when you start trying until you are 12 weeks pregnant.
How you may be feeling
- Patience and hope often sit together now.
- Waiting can feel strangely active, even when nothing shows.
Worth remembering
There is nothing you are meant to be noticing yet.
Something you can do this week
Looking after your general wellbeing — rest, food you enjoy, kindness — is plenty.
What comes next
The days ahead are the ones people most often describe as the longest.
