The first signs of pregnancy in early terms are the same for all women, for someone they are more pronounced, for someone less. How does the conception of a child occur?
Conception of a child is a miracle. It occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle of a woman, during the ovulation period, when a mature egg leaves the ovaries. During the period of ovulation a woman ripens, usually, only one egg. During sexual intercourse, namely, in the male orgasm, up to 300 million spermatozoa are erupted into the body of the woman, which begin to move actively towards the egg. Only the most active spermatozoa reach the egg: only a few thousand of the total number. Once around the ovum, they stick it on all sides and begin to actively extract an enzyme that breaks the shell of the egg. As a result, only one sperm enters the egg cell, which loses its envelope inside the ovum and merges with it. So is the conception. Initially, the cell of the embryo is a zygote, which then begins to divide and grow. At this time, the zygote moves along the fallopian tube into the uterine cavity, where it is attached to its mucous membrane. This process, on average, takes a week.
The first signs of pregnancy in the early stages are, firstly, a delay in menstruation, nausea and vomiting, especially in the morning, tenderness in the area of the mammary glands, swelling of the mammary glands. It is on these grounds that a woman can understand that she is pregnant. Also, the early signs of pregnancy include early fatigue, excessive irritability, emotionality, a change in appetite (either it intensifies or completely disappears), a whim in choosing food.
After a woman has the first signs of pregnancy in the early stages, you should conduct a home pregnancy test. In pharmacies now a large selection of home pregnancy tests: there are both expensive and cheap. Both those and other tests determine the presence of pregnancy quite accurately a week after conception has occurred.
What is a home pregnancy test? This is a thin strip, one end of which is sensitive to a special hormone of the female body - the chorionic gonadotropin. This, the so-called "pregnancy hormone", which begins to be produced in the body of a woman after the egg is fixed in the uterine cavity. This hormone is secreted into the blood, and then into the urine.
To carry out a home pregnancy test, you should collect a small amount of morning urine, put one end of the strip test into it. Following the instructions for use, after a while, look at the test strip. A negative result is the presence of one strip on the test.
If you still do not trust these tests, you should consult a doctor who will determine the presence of pregnancy.
Whatever happens, if the pregnancy that has come is desirable for you and you are not going to interrupt it, know that you should apply the first visit to the doctor before 12 weeks of pregnancy. so you will more accurately know the date of conception and, therefore, the term of exemplary delivery. In the early stages of pregnancy, a woman needs to undergo the necessary examinations, and if she has any diseases, then start treatment.
To determine the date of future births on your own, you need to count as follows: from the first day of the last month, take 3 months and add to the received date 7 days. This will be the date of your birth (there may be a few days' hesitation).
During pregnancy (preferably in the early stages of pregnancy) should abandon bad habits. So the first signs of pregnancy will flow easier, for example, nausea. If you have been smoking for a long time before pregnancy, you should not abruptly abandon the addiction, but day after day reduce the number of cigarettes smoked until you reduce this amount to 1-2. during pregnancy, think that the health of your unborn child depends entirely on you.
The most dangerous thing for a future mother is to use strong spirits during pregnancy. The use of alcohol disrupts and inhibits the development of the child.
Also, during pregnancy, you can not use any medicine without prescribing a doctor, especially aspirin (many moms do not think that it can harm the fetus), headache pills.
Plan pregnancy and wait for replenishment in the family with pleasure!
