Pregnancy Week by Week/Week 4: Implantation
Week 4: Implantation
Week 4 of pregnancy is a critical period when the blastocyst implants itself into the uterine lining, initiating the foundation for your baby's development. This week marks the beginning of the formation of three distinct cell layers that will eventually develop into various body systems. The placenta also starts to form and will nourish your baby throughout pregnancy. At this stage, your baby is about the size of a poppy seed, a tiny but significant milestone in the journey of life.
Your Body During Week 4
As your body adjusts to these changes, you may notice that your period is missed and pregnancy hormones begin to rise, leading to early pregnancy symptoms such as fatigue, breast tenderness, and nausea. Home pregnancy tests may now show positive results, confirming your pregnancy.
Hati Health Tips for Week 4
It is essential to schedule your first prenatal appointment during this time to ensure both your health and your baby's development are closely monitored. To support a healthy pregnancy, begin avoiding foods that are unsafe during pregnancy and start tracking your symptoms to monitor your well-being throughout this journey.
Taking these steps early on can help you maintain a healthy pregnancy and prepare for the exciting months ahead.

Pregnancy Test (Urine)
A urine pregnancy test detects pregnancy by identifying the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in a woman’s urine, which is produced by the placenta after a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. To perform the test, a urine sample is applied to a device containing antibodies specific to hCG, with a positive result indicated by a color change or symbol, signifying that hCG is present and pregnancy is likely. A negative result, showing no change, suggests hCG is not detected, indicating that pregnancy is unlikely, though it may also occur if the test is taken too early or not performed correctly.
For the most accurate result, it’s best to take the test after a missed period; some tests can be used a few days prior, but they may be less reliable. For higher accuracy, it is recommended to use the first morning urine, as it is usually more concentrated and contains higher levels of hCG. Results are typically available within a few minutes, making this test a convenient option for early pregnancy detection.
