Week 2 of Pregnancy
An egg matures
Your baby this week
- Your body is preparing one dominant egg inside its follicle in an ovary.
- The uterine lining is thickening to be ready for a possible implantation.
- Ovulation — the release of that egg — typically happens at the end of this week.
What you may be feeling
- Rising energy
- Clear, stretchy cervical mucus near ovulation
- A mild one-sided twinge (mittelschmerz) for some

Common question for week 2
When exactly do I ovulate?
In a textbook 28-day cycle, ovulation happens around day 14 — about 14 days before the next period starts. Cycles vary, so an ovulation calculator or ovulation test strips give a more personal estimate.
Every pregnancy is different. Sizes are averages, symptoms vary widely, and none of this replaces the guidance of your own provider.
