What's Happening in Week 2?
During week 2, your body is preparing for ovulation. The egg that could become your baby is maturing in one of your ovaries. Your uterine lining is thickening to prepare for potential implantation.
This is typically when ovulation occurs - usually around day 14 of a 28-day cycle. The egg will be released and begin its journey through the fallopian tube, where fertilization may occur.
Tips for Week 2
- Track your ovulation using ovulation predictor kits or basal body temperature
- Continue taking folic acid supplements
- Maintain a healthy diet rich in nutrients
- Limit caffeine and avoid alcohol
