Pregnancy Week by Week: One Week Pregnant. During the first week of your pregnancy, you are not actually pregnant. Conception usually occurs about two weeks after your period begins, which means that your period is counted as the first part of your pregnancy, even though you were not pregnant at the time.
The first trimester carries the highest risk of miscarriage (natural death of embryo or fetus). The second trimester is from week 13 through 28. Around the middle of the second trimester, movement of the fetus may be felt. At 28 weeks, more than 90% of babies can survive outside of the uterus if provided with high-quality medical care. The third trimester is from 29 weeks through 40 weeks. Prenatal care improves pregnancy outcomes.
