People's Signs about the onset of pregnancy

For a start, there are signs of pregnancy. These include: the first, this is the delay of menstruation, the breast, tenderness of her and nipples increases, colostrum appears, morning sickness, vomiting, changes in taste, pulls on salted or sour, changes appetite, fatigue and irritability, frequent urination. Such signs are not so accurate, most often such symptoms are noticed before menstruation. In addition, most women with regard to a possible pregnancy begin to get nervous, there is a feeling of nausea and other symptoms associated with psychological causes. But the delay in menstruation may not be related to a possible pregnancy. There are a number of other factors that can affect ovulation, and subsequently the delay in menstruation. These include - stress, travel, disease, medication, travel, exercise, sudden climate change, sudden weight change, for example, after a long diet.

More precisely, the way to find out whether you are pregnant or not is to measure basal temperature. Many women still use this popular method of determining pregnancy. For this you need to know your menstrual cycle and carefully keep a temperature chart. You can be sure of the onset of pregnancy if the fever lasts more than three days compared to the usual phase of the yellow body - this is the post-ovulation phase until the next menstruation starts, which is characterized by high temperatures, in this phase the temperature is above 37 degrees. If the duration of the phase is 12 days, and in a certain cycle has become 16 days, the probability of pregnancy is very high. It should be noted that the first phase, if the cycle is irregular, can be of different lengths, and the phase of the yellow body is fairly stable and lasts 12-14 days. It is important to observe not the whole cycle, but the second cyclic phase. The cycle time varies mainly due to the initial phase. The higher the probability of pregnancy when a third level of high temperatures appears when there are two phases in the cycle, but this does not happen for every woman, as the temperature chart for all is different. If more than 18 high temperatures are seen in a row, this indicates that a pregnancy has occurred.

There are women who learn that they became pregnant, only a month after conception. But knowing the simple folk ways of determining pregnancy, this can be learned much earlier. The main signs indicating the presence of pregnancy - the delay of menstruation, drowsiness, the color of the nipples changes, the chest swells, toxicosis, dizziness, increased discharge from the vagina. 30% of women accompany menstruation, despite pregnancy, but the allocation is not so plentiful and frequent. The appearance of such symptoms is indicated by hormonal changes in the body.

To the popular methods of determining pregnancy at home, we can include the methods of our grandmothers, such methods have existed for more than one century, some are very amusing or definitely not true, but there are methods that are very logical. There are many methods, but consider some of them. Earlier our ancestors boiled urine, if a woman is pregnant, this will be indicated by the appearance of sediment after boiling. A woman was considered pregnant if her stomach became more elastic. Judged by the dreams: if you see a live fish or a water-melon in a dream, then the woman in an "interesting position", if a perch or crucian is dreamed - to the birth of a boy, and if pike or herring, then to the birth of a girl.

The most common folk method for determining pregnancy is mixing urine with a drop of iodine. If you drip a drop of iodine in the urine, then it must completely dissolve - hence, the woman is pregnant. If the child does not wait for the child, the drop will be on the surface. It is worth considering that this method does not work, if you check.

A simpler method does not require anything at all, only your own body. It is necessary for him to lie down and relax, at a distance of 7-8 centimeters below the navel to put his hands on the stomach. In case you can feel a ripple - you wait for the child, otherwise - you are not pregnant. It is not known whether this method is correct or not. It is believed that if a woman is pregnant, she has a fever, experienced moms call the exact figure - from 37 to 37.2 degrees. Believing folk signs, the definition of pregnancy indicates an increased attraction to intimate relationships, which had not previously been observed.

How was pregnancy determined in ancient times?

The physician and philosopher of Ancient Greece Hippocrates recommended to his patients such a method of determining pregnancy by folk remedies. Before going to bed, you need to prepare a solution of wine and honey and drink it, or eat a small amount of honey with anise. If a woman had a pain in the abdomen at the belly at night, this indicated pregnancy. Medieval writer, who lived in Italy, offered this method of determining pregnancy: a woman breeds a fire, adds myrrh with incense and warms up with him. If a woman is expecting a child, the fragrance of incense and myrrh will be felt from her. There is another advice from medieval literature. Morning urine poured into a vessel and in a proportion of 1: 1 pour wine into it. About the woman's pregnancy will tell the transparency of the liquid.

There are also modern national signs of pregnancy, which are divided into pregnant women.

A pregnant woman often pulls on salted, observed morning sickness, a constant desire to sleep. The woman's eating habits change. May fall in love with new dishes and stop loving the habitual. As you can see, pregnancy can be determined not only with the help of a test, but also with folk remedies.
