So the first clues I had that maybe this might be "the one" was at around weeks 3-4 (1 week post ovulation) - extreme fatigue set in, as did cramping (more pulling & very similar to ovulation type pains).
The the "weepies" started & I was crying for no known rational reason & slowly but surely, the tender breasts & irritated nipples.
By the time I was ready to test, my breasts were super sore, I would fall asleep at the drop of a hat & was bloated beyond belief.
I was pretty sure that I was pregnant but too scare to share my thoughts, even with my husband in case it all blew up in my face as it had done so, so many times before.
I tested at DPO14 (the beginning of the 4th week) - that beautiful 2nd line came up straight away.
The next 2 weeks saw my breasts go from tender to downright ridiculously sore & enormous. The bloating continued to uncomfortable stages as did the extreme fatigue.
By the end of the 5 week, the sleepless nights started. That feeling of restlessness despite exhaustion. Waking up anywhere from 5-10 times a night & dreaming profusely, not really crazy dreams (yet), but just lots & lots of them.
The need to power-nap through the day has become a necessity of life now.
About My Baby
The developing embryo has three layers. In the top layer (ectoderm), the
neural tube will form which will further develop into the nervous system (brain,
spinal cord, skin and hair). In the middle layer (mesoderm), the heart and
circulatory system, bones, muscles, kidneys and reproductive organs will develop
- eventually. At this stage, however, the heart and primitive circulatory system
will rapidly form. In fact, the circulatory system is the first organ system to
function. In the inner layer (endoderm), a simple tube will develop into the
intestines, liver, pancreas and bladder.http://www.pregnancyguideonline.com/
