Answer
Hello Michelle. You would be considered to be 4 weeks along now. In actual fact your embryo is only 2 weeks old, but drs. count from the last period, which makes you 4 weeks. Your embryo is very vulnerable to harm from alcohol, cigarette smoke and drugs- DO NOT expose it to these things. Be SURE you are taking 1-2mg. of folic acid every day to prevent spinal cord defects. All the best- Cheri.
