          Your baby's development

          Conception, from A to Zygote.

          During your pregnancy at 3 weeks, you might have conceived already. Fertilization occurs when an egg and sperm connect and form a single cell, called a zygote. During your 3rd week of pregnancy:
          During your pregnancy at 3 weeks, you might have conceived already. Fertilization occurs when an egg and sperm connect and form a single cell, called a zygote. During your third week of pregnancy:
          • The microscopic, one-celled zygote repeatedly divides and grows at an astounding pace.
          • This process continues as the total number of cells in your baby doubles every 12 hours. While this division occurs, your zygote is moving down the fallopian tube to your uterus.
          • Your baby already has all of the genetic material he/she needs for life — half of the 23 pairs of chromosomes from you and half from your partner.
          • Your baby's gender is already determined.

          • Drink plenty of fluids.
          • Respond right away if your body indicates that you should slow down or stop.

          What happens next week?

          You actually find out you’re pregnant.

          You'll likely miss your period and find out you're pregnant. The zygote embeds, the placenta thickens, and your baby continues to grow.

          Breastfeeding Disclaimer 

          Breastfeeding is the best source of infant nutrition. Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breastfeeding. When thinking of using infant formula, a mother should be aware of

          1. the financial and social implications of formula feeding,
          2. the difficulty of reversing the decision not to breastfeed and
          3. the care that must be taken to prevent partial formula feeding from interfering with lactation.

          In addition, proper preparation of powder or concentrated liquid infant formula requires the use of boiled water for the purposes of mixing formula and cleaning implements and the manufacturer’s mixing instructions must always be followed. Improper mixing or preparation may make a baby sick. A healthcare professional should always be consulted before initiating formula feeding.
