2 weeks pregnant

What's happening in week two

Although you might not feel pregnant, your body is producing bucket loads of pregnancy hormones, and your baby is growing faster than it will at any other time of your pregnancy. All this at just two weeks along! How exciting?

You at two weeks pregnant

By the time your period is due, you will have been pregnant for around two weeks, yet any inkling that you might be will probably come from wondering when your period is going to show, rather than actually feeling any symptoms.  Start on the folic acid supplements if you suspect you might be pregnant at this point as they will help protect your growing baby from spinal cord defects.

Your baby in week two

Your baby's sex has already been decided, and their major organs are all beginning to form. Because of how pregnancy is calculated, you are actually already one month pregnant at this stage – only eight more to go until you meet your baby! 

What to think about in week two

Getting all the right vitamins and minerals is so important right now. Even if you have not done a positive pregnancy test just yet, if you are trying to conceive, it is recommended that you take folic acid supplements to aid your baby's development and protect them from certain conditions. You could also think about taking a multivitamin or supplement, yourself, too, and of course ensuring your diet is full of nutrient-rich fruit and vegetables. Get your partner on a heath-drive as well, particularly if they are a smoker! Now is definitely the time to be quitting smoking for the sake of you AND your family's health! See our pages on giving up smoking in pregnancy for lots of help and advice.

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema...

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent. Members of Occupy Atlanta are raising money for the family to buy a new home, and volunteers said they would help renovate the new residence after it’s secured. Getting duped by a ...

Larry Smith, producer of some of the most cherished hip-hop records of the Eighties, including Run-D.M.C. 's first two albums, died Thursday at the age of 63. Radio host Combat Jack broke the news on Twitter , writing: "Just spoke to his family. RIP Larry Smith, the original King of Beats who passed away last night." A Queens native, Smith began his career as a session musician and quickly struck up a partnership with Kurtis Blow after playing bass on "Christmas Rappin'."  Smith would continue to play on a number of Blow's tracks, co-writing a few as well, including the MC's breakthrough record, "The Breaks,"  which became the first rap record to be certified gold. Smith then began working with Blow's manager at the time, Russell Simmons. The two co-produced a handful of tracks for Jimmy Spicer – including the oft-sampled "Money (Dollar Bill Y'All)"  – before helping make hip-hop history with Run-D.M.C.'s ...
