The fourth week of pregnancy is undoubtedly a magical time for the expectant mother.

In the following lines, I will explain what happens to your body and your baby in the fourth week of pregnancy, offering you important tips for your health and the development of your little one.

I'll start with a spoiler: your puppy is the size of a poppy seed !

For an even more complete and conscious journey towards birth, I recommend you join the Academy to access all the best video courses to support your health during pregnancy (multidisciplinary antenatal course, pelvic floor, breastfeeding, nutrition, pilates, etc.) and the development of your baby (motor development, language, cognitive, self-weaning, pediatric disobstruction, etc.).

Also, on my Instagram profile @drsilva.com_official and on my Youtube channel you will find lots of content designed for you and your little one.

The fourth week of pregnancy is between the first month of pregnancy , which starts on the first day of the last menstrual flow and ends at 4+3, and the second , which goes from 4+4 to 8+5.

The symptoms that characterize the fourth week of pregnancy are different.

The main one is amenorrhea , that is, the absence of menstrual flow.

Since this occurrence can also be caused by other factors, including stress and drugs, the only solution to clear up any doubts is the test.

You may also notice your breasts are slightly more sore than normal.

It is also normal to feel a sensation similar to itching and the veins become more visible.

These symptoms, along with more sensitive nipples, may last throughout the first trimester.
