Baby development at week 2

Sperm and egg may meet in the fallopian tube. The resulting cluster of cells begins dividing while traveling toward the uterus. Nothing is visible on a home test yet.

Average size estimates for week 2 are about still microscopic and too early to weigh meaningfully — roughly poppy seed stage. Your ultrasound report and clinician’s dating override any website average.

What you might feel

You are in the first trimester. Two pregnancies at the same week can feel completely different — treat these notes as orientation, not a checklist you must match.
