1 Weeks

 Your growing baby
Do you know exactly how your baby starts to form? The fertilised egg becomes a ball of cells, which floats into the uterus and implants in the lining. It divides into two sections. The outer layer develops into a protective cocoon around the embryo. The embryo burrows into the uterine lining and grows finger-like projections that absorb nutrients from your blood. Et voila. Your new life has begun.
 About your body
Congratulations on your pregnancy! You are about to embark on the most wonderful journey of discovery, appreciation and love. How soon did you know you were pregnant? Some women know they're pregnant within a few days. But it does vary from one woman to another. Other women don't feel pregnant for quite a while. Some of the first signs of pregnancy include changes to your sense of smell, tingling breasts, nausea and fatigue.
 Your to do list
Get your pregnancy confirmed. A urinary pregnancy test will only show positive two weeks after fertilisation (just before your period is due). Remember, a blood test is more accurate than a urine test. You can work out when your baby is likely to be born by working out the first day of your last menstrual period before you conceived and adding 40 weeks (or 280 days) onto that.
 Tips for dad
At this stage you are blissfully unaware of what lies ahead, and the word "family" still refers to you, your wife and the dogs. You'll probably be asked to go to the chemist to buy a pregnancy test, an innocent looking little box containing your entire future.
