What should I expect at 4 weeks pregnant?

Pregnancy is one of the most important and beautiful phases of a woman’s life. A woman goes through several changes throughout pregnancy, physically and psychologically. However, in the initial weeks, the changes are not very significant. The only symptoms of pregnancy most women experience during the initial weeks are bloating, cramping, and spotting.

A growing fetus is a small ball of several hundred cells that multiply and embed themselves into the uterine lining in the fourth week. The embryo is formed from the center cells, whereas the placenta is formed from the outside cells. A simple circulatory system delivers nourishment and oxygen to the growing fetus. In a 4-week pregnancy, the baby is very tiny, just about the size of a poppy seed.

Abortion In the Fourth Week Of Pregnancy

The doctor usually recommends medical abortion in the initial few weeks of pregnancy. Medical abortion is the most effective and safe procedure to abort a pregnancy in the initial 4 weeks. As the name suggests, medical abortion is performed with the help of medicines. The most common type of medicine used in medical abortion is Mifepristone. Mifepristone helps in blocking progesterone, a hormone needed for pregnancy. It causes the womb’s lining (uterus) to become thin and shed. Other medicines used for this purpose include Methotrexate, Misoprostol, Prostaglandins, or a combination of these medicines. Medical abortion is a 3-step process:

  • Visit the doctor, he/she will give you Mifepristone. This medicine helps in  stopping the function of the progesterone hormone. 
  • After a few days, the doctor will suggest taking Misoprostol. Misoprostol helps in uterus contraction. Generally, women experience bleeding for about 2 weeks after taking misoprostol. Bleeding is an indication that the medication is working. However, if you experience excessive bleeding for more than 2 weeks, then you must consult a doctor and seek treatment help.  
  • After 2 weeks, visit the doctor for a checkup and to ensure the medicine was effective.

Quicker Recovery After Five Weeks Pregnancy Abortion

A woman’s physical and emotional health are impacted by abortion. After having an abortion, it is crucial to look after your health. Following these recommendations will help you recover from the abortion more quickly:

Physical Care

Women typically have cramping and bleeding for a few weeks following an abortion. Following these recommendations will help you to get relief from the pain:

  • Massaging the lower back and stomach
  • Using a heat pack
  • Taking over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen
  • Attending follow-up appointments

There is a very small chance of infection. Avoid the following to lower your risk of infection:

  • Using tampons
  • Having penetrative sex
  • Inserting anything into the vagina
  • Using swimming pools

Emotional Care

A woman may go through a very difficult and stressful period after an abortion. Throughout this phase, women may go through various emotional ups and downs. A woman’s progesterone and estrogen levels steadily decline after an abortion. This may result in a poor mood and mood swings. You should take enough time off work to deal with this extremely taxing circumstance and consult family and friends. Following the advice given below will help you heal emotionally after the abortion in the fourth week of pregnancy:

  • Have a positive outlook and remember why you made this decision. 
  • Take time to pamper yourself with a long bath, a relaxing night in, or your favorite food.
  • Don’t feel obliged to think about abortion if you don’t want to. Go for a walk, watch a film, or do something interesting to get back into your usual routine.
  • Seek help if you’re struggling. Schedule an appointment with a qualified post-abortion counselor. 
  • Talk to your partner, friends, or parents about your feelings.

Diagnostic Tests To Detect Pregnancy of 4 Weeks

The first indication that a woman might be pregnant is a missed period. However, before missing periods, women may also feel headaches, exhaustion, and breast discomfort in the first three-four weeks. In order to confirm pregnancy, a doctor may advise a few diagnostic tests. The following are a few typical tests:

  • Pregnancy test: It is the first test that a doctor recommends to confirm that you’re pregnant. If the test confirms that you are pregnant, your healthcare provider plans the next step accordingly
  • Blood tests: During a blood test, a sample of your blood is sent to a lab for analysis. Blood tests help in tracking the level of different hormones. HCG levels above normal indicate pregnancy.
  • Urine test: In the early days of the pregnancy, when hCG levels are still increasing, your first-morning urine will have sufficient hCG levels built up for a positive pregnancy test.
