![]() ![]() The placenta, amniotic sac, and yolk sac will begin developing to support your babies. This week, your babies (at the beginning stage of blastocysts) will implant into your uterine wall and develop into embryos. While mood swings with pregnancy or any hormonal changes are normal, don’t hesitate to get professional help if you believe you're struggling with depression or anxiety. Or, you may notice your feelings are heightened and more intense. ![]() You may experience periods of happiness, then sadness or anger. As with other pregnancy symptoms, this is due to an increase in hormones. Mood swings can be an early sign of pregnancy, too. For instance, your areolas, which are the areas around your nipples, may darken. You might experience other changes to your breasts as well. Breast tenderness, swelling, and soreness is an early pregnancy sign, due to a rise in hormones. Implantation bleeding is typically much lighter than a period and doesn't last as long. You may also experience implantation cramping. Pregnant women do not always experience implantation bleeding, so don’t worry if you don’t notice any. It's usually a light spotting that occurs one to two weeks after fertilization. Implantation bleeding happens (but not always) when the fertilized egg implants in the lining of your uterus. Sipping on fluids and eating smaller portions more frequently, eating bland foods, and eating crackers or something plain before getting too hungry, can help minimize the nausea. Even though it’s often called "morning sickness," pregnancy nausea can hit at any time of the day. This pregnancy nausea is likely due to the production of the hormone HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your body, along with a rise in the hormone estrogen. ![]() Nausea is sometimes, not always, accompanied by vomiting. Many women experience pregnancy nausea, which typically starts between 4 and 8 weeks of pregnancy. ![]() As your body begins to support a pregnancy and you experience an increase in the hormone progesterone, you may start feeling pregnancy fatigue. A period could be late for other reasons, but a missed period is a good reason to take a pregnancy test. Many women are tipped off to being pregnant by a missed period. If you don’t have regular periods, you may not be thinking about a missed period, or might just think it’s late. Because 4 weeks is still so early in the pregnancy, many women experience no symptoms and don’t know they’re pregnant yet. Some potential early pregnancy symptoms include: While intense symptoms and intuition could be signs of a twin pregnancy, the only sure way to confirm a twin pregnancy is later on by ultrasound. Some women have reported "having a feeling," or "just knowing" they were pregnant with twins, although this certainly isn’t the case for everyone. Some symptoms, such as nausea and breast tenderness may be even more intense with a twin pregnancy than with a single pregnancy, if felt this early at all. You may experience very early signs of pregnancy, but again, some women don’t experience any at this point. Symptoms of a twin pregnancy at 4 weeks are the same as symptoms of a single pregnancy would be. If you do have a positive pregnancy test and are pregnant with twins, you won’t know there are two babies until your provider sees two on ultrasound. While it's possible you’re noticing early pregnancy signs, such as implantation bleeding or breast tenderness, you might not have any clues for a few weeks – and that’s okay! You may have a positive pregnancy test this week, although it’s still early enough for a false negative. In your 4th week of pregnancy, you may just be discovering that you’re pregnant, or you might not know for sure yet – and you may or may not be experiencing early pregnancy symptoms. ![]()
