2 Weeks Pregnant: What Happens To Your Baby?
In week 2 of your pregnancy, your baby actually does not yet exist yet. But being actually pregnant is getting quite near. Ovulation takes place at the end of this week. In the beginning of week 3, the egg will be fertilised by a sperm from the man. This is called fertilization. As you may know, sperm cells from the man have to travel a long way to get to the woman's egg. The likelihood of getting pregnant is higher if you have sexual intercourse at the end of week 2. Specialists also indicate that the most fertile days of a woman start two days before ovulation until the moment of the ovulation.
