From One Cell to Baby: The Dramatic First 14 Days of Life

It all starts with a single cell containing the entire instruction manual for a human life. For the first two weeks, this tiny cluster of cells is on a solo mission, fighting for survival long before it’s even called a pregnancy.
In this video, we go day-by-day through “Building a Baby: The First Two Weeks” – from fertilization to implantation – so you can finally understand what’s really happening inside your body.
You’ll learn:
• How pregnancy is dated (why you’re “not technically pregnant” at first)
• What happens at ovulation and fertilization
• Day 1–4: Zygote formation and rapid cell division (cleavage)
• Day 5–7: Morula to blastocyst – baby + placenta begin to separate
• Day 8–10: Implantation and the “fight for survival” in the uterus
• Day 11–14: hCG hormone production and why periods are “cancelled”
• What a mother may (or may not) feel during these first two weeks
