Physical changes that occur in a 4 week pregnant woman:

During pregnancy week 4, a part of the ovary produces the corpus luteum responsible for progesterone production in women during the early weeks of pregnancy. Fortunately, the placenta will form and begin making more progesterone that your body requires to maintain the pregnancy by the time you enter the pregnancy week 12 or thereabout.

Fetal changes that occur in a 4 week pregnant woman:

During pregnancy week 4, the size of the fetus is about 0.014 to 0.04 inches. Two layers of the cells make a connection with your baby, called epiblast and hypoblast. Additionally, during this period, the development of two new structures will also take places, such as the amnion and the yolk sac.

  • The amnion is filled with amniotic fluid, which surrounds to protect the growing fetus.
  • The yolk sac is responsible for blood production and ensuring the proper nourishment of your growing baby.

During this week, the placenta is in the process of formation and is made up of blood and vascular networks to protect the baby and supply nutrients and oxygen.

Overall, in pregnancy week 4, the home for the upcoming baby is in the process of construction. This week is the time to show the baby’s arm and leg buds. Several different layers of cells start developing to support the baby’s growth. These cells will grow into your baby’s organs as well as other parts of the body.

What care should be taken by a four weeks pregnant woman?

4 Weeks Pregnant TipsTaking plenty of rest, eating smaller meals more often, and wearing a supportive bra are very important during the initial stages of pregnancy. You should remember that the first trimester is a very crucial period of pregnancy as there are more chances for miscarriage at this time. So, you should be very careful to protect yourself from injuries or accidents.

Avoid exposing yourself to harmful chemicals in very hot and cold conditions as they can damage the developing fetus. Avoid lifting heavy objects or doing significantly soliciting activities. The more physical effort, the greater the chances of miscarriage.

This is the period for most women experience anxiety attacks. Whether it may be due to unwanted pregnancy or may be due to irritation to any smells, like perfume smell or some food flavors, stress and anxiety can cause a very damaging effect on your baby, so be very careful.

Sit in a calm environment and think about your condition. It helps you better understand the changes happening with you and offers the baby a perfect psychological environment.
