Your Pregnancy Journey in 3D Ultrasound: What’s Happening at 1 Week?

At 1 week pregnant, you’re technically not pregnant yet! Here’s why:

✨ 3D Ultrasound at 1 Week

• An ultrasound wouldn’t show a baby yet, but it might show your uterus preparing for ovulation. You are in the follicular phase, days 1-7 of your menstrual cycle.

• In about two weeks, ovulation will occur, and fertilization can happen!

  
  

✨ What’s Happening?

• Pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last period, even though fertilization hasn’t happened yet.

  
  

• Your body is preparing for ovulation (when a mature egg is released from the ovary) shedding the old uterine lining and getting ready for a new cycle.

• You may be having your period as your body resets for a potential pregnancy.

• Hormones like estrogen and progesterone start working to prepare your uterus for implantation.
